Mauritius Race 1 - 7f Stakes
EXALTED LOVE (2) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1365m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Grant Van Niekerk. Likely improver with strong prospects. NORDIC PRINCE (4) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at this track but disappointed last time when sixth at this track over 990m. Nicely placed to bounce back. YOHO MIST (7) has not appeared since he finished fourth over 1400m at this track on December 6. Can make his presence felt. WILLIAM BLAKE (5) has not appeared since he finished fourth over 1400m at this track on September 14 2024. May need the run but is one to keep safe.
