SAF - DURBANVILLE   16 Sep 2026
 
GOING: GS

RACE COAST INCENTIVES POWERED BY Hollywoodbets C STAKES 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 16)    

Solid tempo expected primarily from District Master and Noble Hero. CEDAR POINT (2) continued the encouraging form and wasn't far away last time when third over 1600m at Kenilworth. Has a good gate and gets his chance to break through. LOVING PRAGUE (8) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when beaten half a length into second over 1400m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. UNITED FRONT (10) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at Greyville All Weather with a win over 1400m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. THOMAS JENKINS (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 1400m at this track after he was well back on straightening. In the right race and should be about the mark.
