GOING:

SplashOut PRIX DU CAP 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 19)    

Good tempo with several going forward, primarily Mon Petit Cherie, Bavarian Beauty and Siddeley. ROCCAPINA (6) is lightly raced with good form lines to her credit. She ran a cracker when third in the Grade 1 Maine Chance Farms Majorca Stakes last time. The manner in which she finished off her race that day was eye-catching. She will be ideally suited to this distance and should be the one to beat. GIMMIE'S COUNTESS (10) finished third behind the top selection last time. She is 1kg worse off at the weights today and may have to settle for the same result. She is likely to be settled at the rear of the field from the widest draw and will be mowing down the frontrunners. MON PETIT CHERIE (1) is better than her last start in the Grade 1 WSB Cape Fillies Guineas. She won the Grade 2 Western Cape Fillies Championship in her penultimate run over this distance. If not in need of this outing, she should run into the placings. MIA MOO (8) finished fourth last time out and can figure in the top 3 this time.
