SAF - KENILWORTH   22 Jul 2025
 
GOING: H

TURF TALK SYNDICATE B STAKES 1000m

Track: HEAVY   Clear (Max: 15)    

Elusive Winter, Peace Of Mind and The Us Of A can establish a strong tempo despite the small field. THE US OF A (5) was an easy winner of his last start over this course and distance. He showed a good turn of foot and won with plenty in hand. He takes a rise in class but is in a good space and can follow up with another victory. FLYING FINLEY (3) is in good form. Ran fourth of 10 last start over 1000m at this track when well supported. Has sound form here at this trip with two wins and two placings from seven runs. Best figures read very well. TANNERON (7) has some good recent form lines to her name. She has won once, finished second twice and third once from six starts over this course and distance. She is consistent and should give the males a decent run for their money. PEACE OF MIND (2) was touched off in her last start over this course and distance. She takes on stronger rivals but is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to catch.
