Durbanville Race 4 - Perfectly Placed Maiden Plate (F & M)
TUSCAN ROMANCE (4) resumes from a spell having finished second in both her efforts to date. She showed good speed over 1200m last time before getting outrun late. If seeing out the extra 200m on offer, she should find herself in the winner's enclosure. CHAMPAGNE KISSES (6) has shown good improvement in each of her races to date. She showed speed over 1000m last time before getting outrun late. The daughter of Vercingetorix is a progressive type and she is one of the leading chances. GOLDEN ANGEL (5) was squeezed leaving the starting stalls last time and finished off her race well. She would have gained from the experience and should like the extra distance on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, she should be finishing in the money. DOUBLE DASH (3) returns from a spell which would have done her the world of good. She tries the 1400m for the first time and if not in need of this run she can show improvement.

At debut, 3rd of 10 at this track on August 31 over 1250m, 1.75 len behind Mai Sensation carrying 58kg at $17. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.
