SAF - KENILWORTH   30 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

PERFECTLY PLACED CAPE C STAKES 2200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 24)    

Expecting a solid tempo from the get-go with several of these capable of pushing on early. IGNATIUS (1) ran a good race when third OF 11 in his last start over 1800m on this course. He raced from a handy position, moved up well but was outrun late. He finished third in his only attempt over this course and distance. Jumps from the inside gate and can return to winning form. MARSHALL FIELD (2) finished fifth of eight last time out over 1800m at this track when well supported. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and best form puts him right in this. TWICE THE MASTER (3) is better than his last start run over 2000m would suggest. He won his only attempt over this course and distance. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he should be involved at the finish. HELIOTROPE (5) was sent out favourite last time out and scored by half a length at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Among the leading chances.
