SAF - KENILWORTH   13 May 2025
 
GOING: GS

CAPE TURF CLUB SYNDICATES MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 21)    

Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. RUBY REX (6) was prominent at the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1100m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. SWIFT SERENITY (5) is a filly by Captain Of All from the stakes-winner Swift Sarah on debut. Profiles nicely for this and bold showing expected. AMERICAN ULTRA (3) is back after a break of 11 months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1200m at this track. Strong winning chance on best figures. THINGAMABOB (7) ran below expectations last time at Durbanville, finishing sixth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Well placed to make amends.
