SAF - KENILWORTH   10 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

VHM RACING SYNDICATE OPEN MAIDEN 2000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 25)    

Inquisitor is likely to roll to the lead and set a decent tempo. ERIC LIDDELL (5) put the writing on the wall last time when placed here in open class. Fitter and extra trip a plus. Back to a maiden looks the one to beat. FAST AND FREE (6) turned in a nice effort last time when just missed and placed only try course and distance. Worth following up. PHANTOM MAN (10) finished fourth in the same race as Fast And Free. Looks a leading chance again. SEAFARER (11) relished the extra ground last time. Poised to win after a narrow defeat last time.
