Durbanville Race 2 - Cape Turf Club Syndicates Cape A Stakes
RAPIDASH (1) won by a nose two starts back when resuming from a spell, then finished second of nine last start over 2000m at this track. Drops in grade and racing in a fitter state can return to winning form. FUTURE SWING (3) resumes from a spell and having placed previously when produced fresh-up is well worth considering. He jumps from an inside gate and with Richard Fourie in the saddle rates well as a leading chance. LOVE IS A ROSE (4) is having her third run this prep and is well worth an each-way ticket following a last start fifth over 2000m at this track. Will strip a lot fitter and should be finishing in the money. PACAYA (2) finished fifth of 11 over 1800m at Fairview last start when sent out as the odds-on favourite. He is having his third run this prep and having won in that state previously rates highly.

Gelding back from a spell of 12 weeks. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation fourth of 15 at Greyville in the G3 Gold Cup July 28 over 3200m, 0.9 len behind Master Redoute carrying 56.5kg at $21. Previously first up; fourth in a small field at Scottsville April 14 over 1750m, 1.4 len behind Narina Trogon carrying 59kg at $5. Could prove too smart for these.

Returns from a 58-day let-up. Last start won by 1.2 len at Greyville August 22 over 1800m defeating Kyomai with 60kg at $13.50. The start before that 6th of 15 at Greyville in the G3 Gold Cup on July 28 over 3200m, 3.5 len behind Master Redoute with 54kg at $67. Doesn't rate well enough.

Comes off a 46 day let-up. Last start 3rd of 7 at this track on September 3 over 1800m, 2.5 len behind Rapidash with 53.5kg at $2.80. The start before that favourite; won by a head at this track August 17 over 1800m defeating Blue Bay carrying 60.5kg at $2.80. Hard to enthuse.
