SAF - KENILWORTH   02 Nov 2025
 
GOING: G

CAPE CLASSIC 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 20)    

Saudi Cat, Good For You and Vapour Trail will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Absolutely Yes and Chapbook. Good race. GOOD FOR YOU (10) was a Grade 1 winner just two starts back and just missed when resuming over 1250m at Durbanville. Fitter and very well placed this grade over the longer trip. Hard to beat. ARISTOCRATIC (8) has also been racing in stakes class, the latest a fourth in Grade 3 company this trip. Up in weight but fit and looks tough to beat. ABSOLUTELY YES (7) just missed fresh then finished fifth alongside Aristocratic in Grade 3 company latest. One of the main chances this level. RANDOLPH HEARST (9) is resuming in easier grade and has placed fresh. Capable of a big return.
