SAF - DURBANVILLE   28 Sep 2024
 
GOING: G

TAKING THE REINS CAPE B STAKES 1250m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 15)    

Hot early pace from Kinda Wonderful, Symphony In White and Southern Skies going hammer-and-tongs, with a few others keeping them honest. SYMPHONY IN WHITE (2) fought hard when finishing third last time. She resumes from a spell during which time she would have strengthened up. She has plenty of class and having won fresh-up previously should be the one to beat. KINDA WONDERFUL (1) was an easy winner last time. She returns from a spell and should have no issues with the drop to 1250m. Has each-way claims. SOUTHERN SKIES (3) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1250m at this track and proved too strong, scoring by a head. Open to plenty of improvement and is well worth considering. KYALAMI GIRL (8) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1250m at this track, beaten a neck. Should take a lot from that hit-out. In the right race and is one of the leading chances.
