Durbanville Race 2 - Cape Turf Club Syndicates Open Maiden (F & M)
MISS WILLIAM (7) produced a promising debut effort over 1200m at Kenilworth last start when sent out at long odds. She showed good speed before getting outrun late. She would have come on from the run and with the natural improvement that is expected should be the one to beat. WILD APPLAUSE (4) was a beaten odds-on favourite in her last start over 1100m at Kenilworth. She has plenty of scope and with Richard Fourie back in the saddle rates well as one of the leading contenders. THINGAMABOB (11) was running on well when second of 14 over 1250m on this course on debut last start. She would have gained from the experience and with luck from her wide draw should be figuring in the finish. ALEX MILLER (6) returned from a spell three weeks ago and finished a close-up fourth of 14 over 1250m at this track. Fitter today and has each-way claims.
