JOIN THE SPECTACLE www.capeturfclub.co.za CLASS 4 1250m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 32)    

Many of these have the speed to be prominent but is likely Green Isle can take up the running at a strong tempo. DARK WINTER (7) resumes from a spell. She is better than her last start run would suggest. She was an easy winner of her penultimate start over 1000m at Scottsville. She has ability and if fit, she should be competitive. SHE'S MY CAPTAIN (2) lasted long enough when winning her last start over 1000m on this course. She is at her best over a shorter distance but is in a good space and merits healthy respect. GREAT CAT (8) has good recent form lines to her credit. She raced from just off the pace over this course and distance last time and stayed on well to finish third. She is having her peak run and will be cherry-ripe fitness wise. OMIKAMI (4) is back from a spell having won on debut at her only start last prep over 1200m at Kenilworth. Can finish in the money.
