|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Lots of speed predominantly from Antonio Gaudi and Umzingeli Wenyathi. XENOPHON (5) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1160m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. AFRICAN PRINCE (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1160m. Expected to run well again. UMZINGELI WENYATHI (1) was beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh over 1100m at this track at his latest appearance. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect. ESQUEVELLE (2) is a definite winning chance. Take catching.
