SAF - KENILWORTH   13 May 2025
 
GOING: GS

HANGOVER SYNDICATE MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 21)    

Lots of speed predominantly from Klein Karoo, Boundless Love and Rhydian. KLEIN KAROO (3) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Improvement to come and this is his chance to break through. RHYDIAN (4) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing second and beaten only one length. Should be prominent from the outset. Likely to feature. BOUNDLESS LOVE (9) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1200m. Ready to go a couple better. DIGBY (11) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at this track over 1000m, beaten 2.25 lengths. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
