CAPE TURF CLUB SYNDICATES OPEN MAIDEN 1400m Track: SOFT Rain (Max: 17) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Good pace with Renowned booting up inside the speedy pair Undercover Lover and Heroic Power. SONG TO THE MOON (6) challenged strongly in his last start over this course and distance and was only beaten a nose. Having his third start and with Richard Fourie back in the saddle looks well placed to go one better. LOOK FORWARD (13) has been taking on winners in her last three starts. She is better than her last run would suggest and racing back in maiden grade should give the males a decent run for their money. GIMMETHELIMELIGHT (5) is better than her last start run looks on paper as she was reported to be coughing. She finished second in her only attempt over this course and distance. She is having her peak run today and can show improvement. Worth a second look. TYPICALLY FRENCH (10) resumes from a spell and fresh-up with luck in the running can place.
