SAF - DURBANVILLE   27 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

LANGERMAN 1500m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 18)    

Should be a keen tempo with a field of youngsters lining up. KALAHARI KING (6) was well fancied last start over 1100m in Group 3 class at Kenilworth when fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Extra trip looks a plus and expected to measure up. AQUAE CALIDAE (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 1200m at Kenilworth last time, getting there by 5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be discounted. CATWALK KING (2) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by one length over 1200m at Listed level at Kenilworth. Was a winner at the only previous second-up run and this looks well within his grasp. FROM THE ISLAND (9) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1400m at Kenilworth ten weeks ago. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Not to be discounted.
