GOING: G

CAPE TURF CLUB SYNDICATES CAPE D STAKES 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 32)    

From the inside gate American Matador has enough dash to lead, joined by Hang Out The Stars and Fly To Rio pressing on from wider out. FLY TO RIO (3) won a good race in her last start over this course and distance. Has the pace to settle in the leading division and rates well as a leading chance. HANG OUT THE STARS (2) was running on well when second over 1250m on this course last time. Likely improver with strong winning prospects. TRES CHIC (12) was a beaten favourite in her last start over 1250m on this course. The manner in which she finishes off her races suggests that she will enjoy the rise to 1400m. She is drawn widest of all but gets the services of Luyolo Mxothwa who will give her all the necessary assistance needed from the saddle. IM THE BUZZ (7) was beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth in a 1250m contest at this track at her latest appearance. No surprise to see her finishing in the money
