CELEBRATING CENTURION MEMBER GARY PLAYER'S BIRTHDAY CAPE B STAKES 1100m Track: GOOD Clouds (Max: 22) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting a strong pace from the outset with plenty of speed engaged. NIGHT BOMBER (7) improved last time out, finishing third of seven as the favourite over 1250m at Durbanville. Nicely placed in this line-up to atone. BLACK EGRET (3) was below his best last time out when last of seven over 1250m at Durbanville. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and rates well as a leading chance. SWEETIE DARLING (4) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run and finished sixth of 12 over 1200m. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. WALK WITH ME (8) is a progressive three-year-old gelding who resumes from a spell, his last appearance being a win over 1200m at Fairview. Likely to push forward and race up on the pace. Deserves respect on best figures.
