SAF - KENILWORTH   24 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

RaceCape Powered By Hollywoodbets PROGRESS PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 21)    

Hot tempo expected with No Apologies, Port Louis and My Golly Molly heading the charge. COASTAL COMMANDER (8) will be one of the best bets on the programme. He was not disgraced when fourth in Grade 1 company last time out. He finished second in his only attempt here over this trip and at the weights, he should be the one to beat. PORT LOUIS (2) should have won his last start as he was held up for a run at a vital stage in the final stretch. With a bit of luck in running, he can challenge the top pick. ZIL MORIS (6) has good recent form lines to his credit. He has won once, finished second twice, and third once from as many starts here over this trip. He is in a good space and merits obvious inclusion. ZOOMIE (7) ran a good race when third in his last start over 1600m on the Fairview turf course. He finished 1 length behind the third pick that day. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he is worth including in all combinations.
