SAF - KENILWORTH   09 Nov 2024
 
GOING: G

WOOLAVINGTON STAKES 2500m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 22)    

Looks a solid tempo with Call To Unite possessing enough early pace to go to the front. FUTURE SWING (9) resumed from a spell over 1800m at Durbanville last time out when resuming from a spell and finished second. Has never been out of the placings at the second run back from a spell from three starts and won at his only try over this trip. Ready to find peak form this time. CALL TO UNITE (1) was in a different class last time, registering a strong win over 2000m at Durbanville to make it two straight. Best form puts him right in this. DAIMYO (6) has been thereabouts, most recently when one length from the winner in second over 2000m at Durbanville. Racing in strong form and can can go one better. HOLDING THUMBS (2) was far from disgraced when finishing sixth of 13 last start over 2000m at Fairview All Weather. That followed a win at Fairview the start prior. Jumping from a good draw should be finishing in the money.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes off a 49 day let-up. At the latest run won by 2 len at Durbanville September 21 over 2000m defeating Rapidash with 52kg at $7. The run before that won by a long-neck at Durbanville September 3 over 1800m defeating Daimyo with 57kg at $11. Best form should see him measure right up.
