CAPE TURF CLUB MAIDEN PLATE 1400m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 16) 4m |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Fast tempo assured with Groovejet, Oregon and Nordic Prince going at each other early in the piece. CLIFF SWALLOW (6) is in good form and the manner in which he has been finishing off his races suggests that he will love the rise to 1400m. He meets the right field this afternoon and he should take a power of beating. GROOVEJET (1) was doing his best work late when fourth here over this trip last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He will strip fitter and is the main threat to the top pick. PRINCE OF TIBET (8) has fair recent form lines to his name. He finished fourth behind the top pick in his penultimate run and another honest effort is expected. BEER WITH THE BOYS (9) was in need of his debut effort here over this journey. He would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he can finish in the placings. Each way value.
