WORLD POOL CAPE FLYING CHAMPIONSHIP 1000m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 29) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pressure with Snow Pilot, Direct Hit and Constellation leading the charge. Impossible to go past the exciting sprint BUFFALO STORM CODY (13). Top sprinter unbeaten in three runs this time in. Won the Grade 1 Mercury Sprint six months ago before a break and remains undefeated since. Looks the one to beat again. TENANGO (1) was runner-up in the Grade 1 Mercury Sprint three back behind Buffalo Storm Cody. Thats good form for this and fitter for two runs in. Unbeaten third-up. Expected to go very well. ASIYE PHAMBILI (5) was a fresh up winner in Grade 3 company and can only be fitter. Strong second-up recording excels here. Improver with winning prospects. CONSTELLATION (10) is a promising colt in great form and all at this trip. First try in stakes class and first try here but can give a sight.
