SAF - KENILWORTH   30 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

FOLLOW GALLOP TV ON SOCIAL MEDIA MAIDEN PLATE 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 22)    

Looks to be plenty of pace with Spanish Verse and Quiet Place battling for the lead. QUIET PLACE (1) was beaten just a neck last start and landed his first top-three finish in the process at Durbanville over 2000m. Sure to play a major role again. SPANISH VERSE (2) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid second over 1800m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GOLD GOLD BABY (3) finished 1.3 lengths from the winner in second in a much better run last time at this track over 1600m. Should appreciate the longer journey and can take this out. BOURBON KING (4) followed an unplaced effort two starts back with a second last start over 1600m at Durbanville. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
