SAF - KENILWORTH   22 Feb 2025
 
GOING:

SABC CLASS 3 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 19)    

Hot tempo expected with Talk To The Master, Mauritius Kestrel and Rosh Kedesh heading the charge. GALLIC DREAM (6) stayed on well when third of 13 over this course and distance last time. He takes a big drop back in class and with Gavin Lerena in the saddle should prove hard to beat. ROSH KEDESH (3) was running on well when second over 1200m last time. He jumps from a good draw of three and if not too far out of his ground turning for home should be finishing in the money. TALK TO THE MASTER (1) was fresh-up from a spell last start and finished third of 10 over 1200m at this track. Racing over a longer trip has each-way claims. POWERANDTHEGLORY (10) resumes from a spell and fresh-up with Richard Fourie in the saddle should go a bold race fresh-up. Well worth considering and is a must include in exotic bets.
