GOING: G

FOLLOW CAPE RACING ON SOCIAL MEDIA CAPE C STAKES 1000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 15)    

Expecting a very strong tempo with lots of early pressure, predominantly from Be Merry, Hear My Voice and Dafnes Daughter. LOVE SHACK (5) has good consistent form lines to her credit. She moved up like a winner over this course and distance last time, but was outrun late. Despite carrying top weight, she should be the one to beat. BE MERRY (1) showed good speed when winning her last start over this course and distance. She takes on stronger rivals but should be up to the task at hand. PALO QUEEN (10) finished 11th last time out over 1000m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and rates well as an each-way chance. EASY MONEY (6) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by a head over 1000m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and is among the better chances.
