Glen Puller
No 4 Floatlikeabutterfly : Nice filly, may be green.
Greg Ennion
No 5 Hot Love is having her second start. She is a nice filly but will
need much further.
Candice Bass-Robinson
No 6 Joy Maisha is a nice filly and expecting a nice first run out,
however she is drawn unfavourably.

be suited to further.

Mike Robinson
No 1 Lunar Tunes is trying further and I am hoping for improvement.
Vaughan Marshall
No 4 White Lace has a good each-way chance.
Greg Ennion

but I am expecting a better run.
Race 5
Mike Robinson
No 2 Lady Abigail is nicely drawn and is distance suited.
Candice Bass-Robinson
No 5 Tattooed Rocker : She is very well at present and draws well
here. She could be a big factor again.
Race 6
Snaith Racing
No 1 Talitha Borealis : Big weight, may need the outing, each-way chance.
Candice Bass-Robinson
No 2 Intothelimelight : Doing well but 1600m might be a touch on the
far side for her.
No 3 Miss Plumcake : First run back after a lay-off, if she doesn't
need it too much she could have a small chance.
Mike Robinson
No 5 Secret Depths has been freshened up for this race and I think she

Race 8
Mike Robinson
No 2 Happy Wanderer is very well but it will not be easy as she is badly drawn.
Candice Bass-Robinson
No 9 kings Speed : Very green on debut. Will be suited to this trip
but will need a few runs before he starts to shape.
No 12 Turn It Harvey : First run back so will be a come on run from
him. He will need this run and is looking for further.
Peter Wrensch
No 10 Nevil Mu has a bad draw and is in a tough race but he is not
without a chance and will be running at them late.
Snaith Racing
No 11 Pinkerton has improved in Cape Town. Each-way chance.
Sunny day with a likely moderate tailwind. Pen is reported as 20 so going now good.
Race 1 Broadside and Golden Tractor are the two form horses and both still improving, but it looks more open than the betting suggests as there are a few first timers, and if Fighter is fit then he could win this at 14/1
Race 2 Impossible race as there is little decent form from the runners and a host of first timers in the betting.
Race 3 Not much between all of 1,2,3,7,8 on what they have shown to date. Flatware ran a very decent race from a wide draw last time and Mxothwa deservedly keeps the ride.
Race 4. White Lace has decent juvenile form and is the one to beat. The 4yo Lunar Tunes is the lurker.
Race 5.Honey Pie won well last time and if making further improvement is the one to beat. If she fails then this is wide open, but main dangers are Tattooed Rocker, Elusive Fortune and Duntoche.
Race 6 Sleeping Single won well last time and the winning margin could have been greater. She has been penalised as if that was a 3L win and not 1L. Secret Depths is fit and well and renews rivalry. I expect these two to fight it out again. Water Spirit went off form last time and has been rested, but if fit comes in on a handy weight, as does Midnight Moonlight.
Race 7 This looks a very open race. Skidoo loves this course and trip and with a paper weight looks good ew value at 12/1. Rio Querari comes back from a break but is capable. Bellingham Bay is in good form.
Race 8 The price on Hurricane Harry looks too skinny although he has obvious claims and is likely to improve with the better going. Backgammon has solid form. Nevil Mu good first run but poor in the wet last time and a tough draw. All of 2,5,7,11,12 have scope for improvement.

Best run in Five starts,last race over the 1000m Kenilworth
Finished in 6th place 3.55lengths off the winner
Comment (some late progress)
Was a workriders race
The winner won by 1.75lengths
2nd and 3rd place was covered by 0.50lengths
In 3rd place was CAPTAIN GARETH who won his maiden really well on Saturday
Born to be great was only 1.75lengths off Captain Gareth and the race time,shows a faster run race than today's favorite(GOLDEN TRACTOR) 1000M second place run
BORN TO BE GREAT (RACE RUN-WIN TIME 63.14)
GOLDEN TRACTOR (RACE RUN-WIN TIME 64.33)
Also the heavy betting support on Born to be great last run FROM 33/1 TO 9/1
Race 5 sees a strong Snaith hand and with jock arrangements one would expect Fourie to be the one, however, with him on the Fav in Race 6 and my form reading ideas, I am hoping my Fortunes won't be too Elusive with Cheyne and place cover.

Eric Sands seems to be one of the few SA trainers who are able to bring horses back fit from a break.
Broadside 22 weeks off and brought back in perfect condition.
Three first timers found support and the one who actually drifted from it's opening price wins easily.

missed the break and runs unplaced
9 Rumour Has It # 7.00 7.50 5.50 5.00 4.20 3.55 2.50 2.85 3.05 3.30 2.50 3.00 3.30 3.33 3.50 3.65 3.45 3.30
Would have run last if the last horse didn't lose 7 lengths at the start.
Cape trainers still seem to be battling to judge how good their lighties are.
