SAF - KENILWORTH   30 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

PERFECTLY PLACED CLASS 4 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 22)    

Strong tempo with Trailfinder and Flying Finley leading from Major Apollo and Trois Sept Huit. FLYING FINLEY (7) finished fourth over 1000m at Durbanville when resuming last start, beaten only 1.4 lengths. That was in open class and drops in grade for this. Strips fitter and can go close. TROIS SEPT HUIT (4) scored his maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 0.8 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be underestimated. TRAILFINDER (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when seventh over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. CELTIC CHIEF (9) finished third last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out.
