SAF - KENILWORTH   11 May 2024
 
GOING: G

TAKING THE REINS CLASS 5 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 16)   4m  

Lots of speed predominantly from Morning Chess, Phantomoftheforest and Seeking Peace. O'TENIKWA (5) showed good speed when winning on debut here over this distance. He was well-found in the markets that day which suggests that he was showing good work at home. He can cope with the class rise here and remain unbeaten. SHIFTING PATH (8) ran on strongly when second over 1100m last time. The ear muffs seem to have done the trick and in this field, he should be competitive. ON BOARD (9) showed good speed when third over 1100m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She is a solid backup for the Andre Nel stable and she merits obvious inclusion. LOOK FORWARD (7) ran a good race when third over 1400m last time. That form has since been franked and another honest effort is likely. Include in all combinations.
