GOING: G

RaceCape Powered By Hollywoodbets CAPE B STAKES 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 16)   4m  

Expecting a slick tempo with Bardolino, Big Unit and Windrunner leading the way. KITCHAKAL (7) was his own worst enemy last time as he overraced in the early stages and did not go on with the effort. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. Aldo Domeyer is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most. QUATERMAIN (9) has good consistent form lines to his credit. He finished a head behind the top choice in his penultimate run. He is in a good space and another honest effort is likely. BIG UNIT (2) took the lead at the 150m mark last time and was only caught late, finishing second. He has cracked a good draw and should be involved at the finish. RULE OF THUMB (8) was not too far away in the same race as the second pick last time out and is reunited with Craig Bantam. Each way value in an even lineup.
