VHM RACING SYNDICATE CAPE C STAKES 1600m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 16) 4m |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Hot early pace is on the cards with Faire Advantage, Naushon and Shavout matching motors. NAUSHON (2) should have finished closer to the winner last time as he was steadied for running room at a vital stage in the home stretch. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. From his good draw, he may be the one to beat in this field. GREEN MANDARIN (6) was given a peach of a ride when winning his last start over 1800m on this course. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He is in a good space and can follow up. MASTER OF PARIS (4) won a good race in his last start here over this trip. He has the scope to work through the grades and with a good turn of foot, he merits healthy respect. AUGUSTA BLUE (5) finished a length behind the top pick in fifth place last time. He is heading the right way and if getting away to a clean start, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
