Non stayer on the eye, but also stopped very fast so better waiting to see what’s said

I also thought non stayer... but im almost certain Delpech is a better judge then me lol...

Excerpt from Stipes Report:
THE STARTER REPORTED:

PRINCESS PEACH (C Orffer) broke through the front gate, dislodged the rider and bolted back to the parade ring, was withdrawn by the Veterinary Surgeon, causing a delay. (broke gate at 17h21,52)
ELUSIVE HEART (R Fourie) was restless in the stalls.
Fair start.
THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: (CvA)

a) In view of the report from the Starter concerning PRINCESS PEACH, Trainer G Kotzen will be advised that this filly’s starting stall certificate has been withdrawn in terms of Rule 61.6.10.
b) At about the 700m MISS KATALIN (B May) shifted in, which resulted in FRESNAYE (R Khathi) becoming cramped for galloping room and ANGEL’S TRUMPET (G Cheyne), which was following was forced to steady. Jockey B May (MISS KATALIN) was charged with a contravention of Rule 62.2.7 in that he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to runners on his inside at the 700m. Jockey B May signed an admission of guilt and was suspended from riding in races for a period of 7 days. (w.e.f. 01/11/2017 to 07/11/2017 both days inclusive)

THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED:

MAGICAL WONDERLAND (A Domeyer) returned with a small cut on the left fore shin.

can anyone show the form that warrants the hype around EWO

In my humble opinion, eyes wide open is not my idea of a guineas winner. Should have reeled them in easier today. See how Tap o noth performed against a top older horse in OMA vs what EWO today.

The two twice overs, Do it again and Sand and Sea are my picks. Tap o north if they don't run.

regarding TON the runner up was an 86 who recently won his maiden beating Tripple Explosion

The dam was a sprinter, but there is enough stamina in her pedigree that one would expect a son of Silvano to stay a mile at least.
He showed good early speed, and led for much of the way in what appeared to be a true run race. He weakened late, but was only beaten 4L. Considering this is only his 3rd run and his first time around the turn, I certainly would not write him off. He is a nice looking sort, and impressed in the canter past. He looked to me to be still quite immature, and generally the Silvano's need time.

True but its clear he's much higher. Late 90's performance that. Good horse..

Sorry to sound repetitive but i will continue to brass the natal 2yo feature race form when it comes to the cape 3yo season and todays results yet again confirmed my belief as it has done for the past 4 or 5years..

MOMF tbh none of the first three impressed and neither did they (Cot Campbell and TON) when seeing Ali's replay against Our Mate Art

imo MW was given a poor ride ,from draw 7 to get midfield and allowed to have been bunched up onto a short straight was madness
