CITY OF CAPE TOWN JET MASTER STAKES 1600m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 19) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Zapatillas, Coastal Commander and Rapidash leading the charge. SEE IT AGAIN (10) was doing his best work late when fourth in the Grade 1 WSB Cape Town Met last time. He has won four times, finished second twice, and third once from nine starts over this distance. He is the class horse in this contest and can return to winning ways. ZAPATILLAS (1) is better than his last start in the Grade 1 WSB Cape Town Met as he raced wide around the turn. He jumps from the pole position and on the best form shown, he should pose a threat. MEU CAPITANO (9) was an easy winner of his last start over 1400m on this course. The manner in which he won that race suggests that he should not have any issues with the rise to 1600m. With a bit of luck from barrier nine, he should be right there at the finish. THE REAL PRINCE (5) finished sixth in the same race behind the third selection last time. He is 4.5kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish
