GOING: G

CAPE TURF CLUB SYNDICATES CLASS 3 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 24)    

Aspect, Fibonacci and Cheeky Laddie to take up the running at a decent tempo. TYRION LANNISTER (8) is a winner of his last two starts, the latest of which was over 1600m on this course. He finished off his race well that day and got up where it matters most. Meets a similar line-up here and he can notch up the hat-trick. FUTURE TURN (9) ran a fair race in his last start over 1600m, finishing fifth of 11. He has won once and finished third once from as many starts over this course and distance. With a bit of luck in the running after jumping from the widest draw, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest. HAT'S PRIDE (6) ran a decent race in a Listed event last time. He should have finished closer to the winner that day as he hung over the final 400m. On best form shown he should be involved in the fight to the finish. FIBONACCI (2) ran below expectations last start, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths at this track over 1600m. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
