SAF - KENILWORTH   30 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

THE SOCIAL SQUAD SYNDICATE CLASS 4 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 24)    

Hot early pace is on the cards with Steadfast, Gravity and Dancingtothelight matching motors. RADICCHIO (7) is a winner of his last two starts. He is likely to race on the speed under Richard Fourie and looks well placed to notch up the hat-trick. WAR CHARIOT (4) stayed on well when finishing a close-up fourth last time. He has plenty of scope and must be included in all bets. SLURRICANE (9) was prominent from the outset when finishing third of 11 over 1400m at this track last time out when well fancied. Has a solid record here over this journey. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and should be figuring in the finish. DANCINGTOTHELIGHT (3) ran below his best last start when finishing fifth from a wide draw over today's course and distance. Reunites with Grant Van Niekerk who has a win when partnering. Worth including in combinations.
