CAPE RACING SALES OPEN MAIDEN 1250m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 14) Rail out 2m on back straight, with a 4m spur at approximately the 550m mark |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of early pace on show, particularly from River Hawk, Blame It On Me and Bounceback. BOUNDLESS ENERGY (9) produced a decent debut effort over 1100m at Kenilworth when on debut last start. He raced from just off the pace and stayed on well to finish third. He resumes from a spell and with racing experience now behind him should take prove hard to beat. ZEITZ (10) is an unraced son of Vercingetorix from the Andre Nel stable with Corne Orffer in the saddle. If not too green in the running he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances. NOBLE STEED (2) is a son of Elusive Fort from the Justin Snaith stable with JP van der Merwe in the saddle. He jumps from a good draw of two and if not in need of this run he should give a good account of himself. FIRINGONALLENGINES (6) ran fifth of 10 last start at this track when resuming from a spell. Racing over a longer trip today and in a fitter state can place.
