Durbanville Race 3 - Genuine Ennion Syndicate Open Maiden
SHOW OFF (3) showed improvement in her second career run when finishing a close-up fourth of 11 over 1400m on this course last time. He is a progressive type and from his good draw of three should prove hard to beat. MONKEY PUZZLE (1) challenged strongly over 1400m last time but found one too good on the day. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe fitness wise. From pole position he can go one better. GRAN CANARIA (8) returns from a spell during which time he was gelded. He placed second of 12 two starts back and if not in need of the run he should be competitive. AFRIQUE (9) never fired at his last run finishing seventh of 14 over 1600m at Kenilworth and was then put out for a spell. He should have strengthened up during his break and fresh-up can place.
