Listed – 1600m – Turf
1 |
I Salute You |
Brings solid form into the race and from stall gate one, should go close to getting it all right. Strong each way claims and a must for all bets. |
2 |
Winter Games |
Ran a huge race behind the well fancied Zeitz last time out and on that run alone, will be very competitive. He has shown ability and cannot be excluded from any bets. |
3 |
Guy Gibson |
Is taking time to get it all right again but in saying that is clearly coming back to better form and looks ready to notch up the elusive third victory. Starts from a favorable gate and can win. |
4 |
The Africa House |
Is testing the patience for the next career win and has therefore become hard to predict. His last two runs are a worry but his place form before that was fair. Place chance. |
5 |
Cherry Ano |
Can be forgiven for the last run. If he reproduces the form against Dave The King, then will go very close to winning. Calvin Habib knows him well and is worth considering for the quartet. |
6 |
Hat’s Pride |
Ran a fair race last time when not too far of the winner but will need to build on that considerably to win this. He is a tad erratic and therefore has become tough to assess and predict. Others are preferred for the win. |
7 |
Busstopinhounslow |
Won a convincing race when beating Guy Gibson last time under Piere Strydom and has every chance of following up. Strong each way claims. |
8 |
Teflon Man |
Has become a tad difficult to assess and predict but was a winner of his penultimate start when beating African Skyline. He is worth considering for the trifecta play. |
9 |
Money Heist |
Never shone last time when racing over this course and distance and can be forgiven for that effort. His form before that is attractive and he has each way claims. |
10 |
Imilenzeyokududuma |
Has competed in some competitive fields and held his own. His form is fairly solid baring the last run when way back 11.65 lengths off the winner. He is capable of better and could represent some attractive place value. |
11 |
Down To Business |
Does not get the better draws and will have a tough task from gate 11. His penultimate win was impressive but he does return from a lengthy layoff and more than likely will need this run to tighten up. |
12 |
Sundance Kid |
Faces his toughest task to date and might battle to beat this bunch. He could stay on for a minor position if getting to the front or racing handy but others are chosen before him. |
13 |
Narina Trogon |
Is making us wait for the next victory but if ignoring his last run, his form is good enough to warrant serious consideration for most bet types. Expect a good effort from him. |
14 |
Diani |
Is a seven-time winner, has been holding form and running well. His last run when 3rd to Underworld was particularly encouraging and he is one for the shortlist. |
|
Reserve |
|
15 |
Ikigai |
Is a reserve runner and if getting into the race will have to find a few lengths for the win. In saying that, he is an evergreen eight-year-old that was victorious just three starts back. Place chance at best. |
