Kenilworth Race 2 - Cape Turf Club Syndicates Maiden Plate
BEL CANTO DREAM (7) made the expected natural improvement when finishing fourth of 15 over 1200m at Kenilworth last time when well supported. The manner in which he finished off his race that day suggests that he will like the rise to 1400m. Richard Fourie steps into the saddle and he may be the one to beat. VICTOR HUGO (8) had excuses in his last start over 1600m on this course when finishing third of 10 as the favourite. His penultimate run when second over 1200m, catches the eye. He should be ideally suited to 1400m and he is one of the leading chances. GRAND ALLEGRO (6) was disappointing over 1250m at Durbanville last time. His penultimate run when second behind Arctic Wizard catches the eye. He resumes from a spell and fresh-up is well worth a second look. HONORINE'S GIMMIE (11) is likely to be settled near the rear of the field and should be storming home late. Is a must include in exotic bets.

Having third race start. At very big odds at debut, second last of 13 at Durbanville on October 26 over 1250m, 11 len behind Diablo carrying 60kg at $67. Second-up ran last of 15 at this track on November 16 over 1400m, 19 len behind Rich Folks Hoax with 58kg at $151. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
