TAKING THE REINS CAPE B STAKES 1400m Track: SOFT Clear (Max: 17) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Blistering early pace from Carriacou, Aspect and Fibonacci taking each other on, with a few others in keen pursuit. ASPECT (3) is a winner of his last four starts over this course and distance. He set the pace last time and kept fighting all the way to the line. It is encouraging that Richard Fourie steps back into the saddle and the combination should be hard to peg back. CALLMEGETRIX (8) stayed on well when third of seven over this course and distance last time. She has won twice and finished third once from as many starts over this course and distance. She is in a good space and should give the males a decent run for their money. FUTURE TURN (7) raced from a handy position over this course and distance last time and stayed on to finish third of 11. He meets a similar field and should be included in exotic bets. OLIVER (6) was comfortably accounted for when finishing seventh of eight last time out over 1200m at this track, after a win at this track at the previous outing when sent out as the favourite. Has each-way claims.
