SAF - KENILWORTH   09 Nov 2024
 
GOING: G

CHAMPAGNE SYNDICATE CLASS 4 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 22)    

Plenty pressure expected in what will be a truly-run mile. SAIL THE SEAS (10) finished eighth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out to score as the favourite over 1400m at Durbanville. Has his share of talent and racing in a fitter state can repeat the dose. HOODIA (5) stepped up to the mile for the first time last start at Durbanville and after looking a winning chance halfway down the straight battled on well to finish second of 11. Likely to push forward and race up on the pace. Each-way. MIKE'S MAZARIN (4) is back from a spell and does race well when fresh, including a win last prep over 1750m at Scottsville. Is shooting for a hat-trick and has to be respected. MASTER OF PARIS (3) finished third of 11 last start at the first run back from a spell over 1600m at Durbanville. Racing in a fitter state and jumping from an inside gate rates highly.
