GOING: S

CAPE TURF CLUB SYNDICATES MIDDLE STAKES 1400m

Track: SOFT   Clouds (Max: 17)    

Expecting a slick tempo with Dixieland Band, Royals and Russian Royal leading the way. GIMMETHATPEARL (3) produced a strong finish when third in a Listed event last start. She has won over this distance previously. She is in a good space and can go close. KAMCHATKA (5) ran a fair race when fourth of seven in last time. She returns from a spell and if not in need of the run, she should be fighting out the finish. MY ONLY WEAKNESS (6) won a game race in her last start over this distance. She takes on stronger rivals but is in a good space and should be up to the task at hand. RUSSIAN ROYAL (4) has been disappointing since winning her maiden over this distance. She is likely to race on the pace and she may be hard to peg back.
