SAF - KENILWORTH   30 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

CAPE TURF CLUB OPEN MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 24)    

Good pace with Mo Yay booting up inside the speedy pair Golden Grey and Blame It On Me. TSUNAMI WARNING (11) should have finished closer to the winner last time as he was tightened for galloping room in the final stages. He does have a wide draw to overcome but is likely to be settled near the rear of the field and he will be mowing down the frontrunners. TOM'S DINER (5) stayed on well when finishing fourth of eight in his last start over this course and distance. He is a progressive type and Aldo Domeyer may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. CHARLOTTE BRONTE (4) has shown good improvement in each of her outings to date. She ran on when third over this course and distance last time. She is a progressive type and she should give the males a decent run for their money. CONGRESSMAN (6) is back after a break of three months. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 1200m at this track. Has ability and rates well as a leading player.
