1

Spywing

A two-time winner as a juvenile, this filly has not progressed as expected. Perhaps a victim of an unrealistic merit rating. Don’t expect a big run.

2

Strawberry Light

Her last two runs were excellent and she is expected to do well on her handicap debut. The only concern is that this distance might be a bit sharp. Definitely a contender.

3

Seeking Peace

It’s been 18 runs since she exited the maiden ranks, and in that time her Merit Rating has dropped from 82 to a current 56. Rank outsider.

4

Double Dream

A surprise winner on debut, her seven post-maiden runs have not seen her produce her best. Has done her best work over this distance, but has not quite taken to the Kenilworth track.

5

Venus De Milo

Inconsistent and difficult to assess as she has had just four runs. After seemingly getting the hang of racing in her penultimate, she lost interest last time out. Unlikely to feature.

6

Turn The Page

If reproducing the form she showed last time out, and with more luck in running, this daughter of Trippi could well score a second career win.

7

Black Path

Looking at this lightly raced four-year-old’s history, her solitary win seems a fluke. More likely to trot along than to launch any mind of challenge.

8

Copper View

A raider from KwaZulu-Natal, she was not disgraced in two runs at Kenilworth. Her only victory has come over 1200m. She has pace and can pull this one off.

9

Fearless Trip

This filly saw her Merit Rating drop two points after every one of her last three runs, proof that she is not in the best of form. Will do well to place.

10

Thrilla

A model of inconsistency, this filly might just be better than expected dropping down in distance. Highly unlikely to win, she offers good value for a place finish.

11

Touch Of Grace

Came very close in her penultimate and followed up with a strong run to exit the maidens. The penny has dropped and she could earn minor money.

12

Flying First

In a highly competitive field, this daughter of Trippi looks the one they all have to beat. Did very well against a strong field on handicap debut.

13

Rafeef’s Choice

Showed no interest at all in her post maiden effort and is unlikely to pop up here. Perhaps this daughter of Rafeef needs time for rest and recuperation.

14

I’ll Slip Away

Very difficult to see this three-year-old slipping away from the field. Did not improve with blinkers last time out and will now have a tongue-tie.

15

Mulberry Street

A debut-winner when beating a big field, that form is far from franked as not a single winner has emerged from that field since. But according to the stopwatch, she can run. Watch.

16

Hear My Voice

Guaranteed to give her best, this daughter of Captain Of All has won coming from the rear and going pillar to post. She’s a big contender.

17

Ella’s Delight

The seven-point rise in merit rating since the start of the season is proof that she’s on the up. Should be on the podium as the sun starts to set in Cape Town.
