SAF - KENILWORTH   18 Jun 2024
 
GOING: S

PERFECTLY PLACED CLASS 4 1800m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 17)    

Hot early pace from Born Ready, Lickety Split and Summer Night City going hammer-and-tongs, with a few others keeping them honest. AMONG THE CLOUD (4) disappointed last start over 1400m after having placed in both of her previous last two starts. She should have no issues with the rise to 1800m. Richard Fourie takes over the reins and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her when it matters most. PLUM PUDDING (9) has strong form having won twice and placed second three times from her last five starts, including last time out when second of nine over this course and distance when sent out as the favourite. Looks well placed in this line-up to go one place better. BASIC MANEUVERS (6) ran home well last start when finishing third of nine at this track over 1800m. Racing well and should be fighting out the finish. COULDITBE (5) scored here last start at this track over today's distance. From a handy draw should race up on the speed and she can easily go back-to-back.
