SAF - KENILWORTH   25 Jun 2024
 
GOING: GS

CAPE TURF CLUB MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: SOFT   Clear (Max: 17)    

Strong early tempo assured with Turbo Twenty, Cliff Swallow and Igugulethu locking horns. WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN (7) showed good improvement when second of 13 in his last start over this course and distance. He challenged strongly all the way to the line, but found one too good on the day. He is a progressive type and can go one better under Richard Fourie. CIRCUMBENDIBUS (5) ran a fair race on debut over this course and distance last start when finishing fourth of 13. He was awkwardly placed at the start, raced green but stayed on well at the finish. He would have gained from the experience and should make the natural improvement needed. GREEN OKRA (9) showed improvement when fourth of 13 over this course and distance last time. Has each-way claims. IGUGULETHU (4) was disappointing in his last start over 1600m. He returns from a spell which would have done him the world of good. If not in need of this run he should give a good account of himself.
