Durbanville Race 4 - Celebrating Centurion Member Wayne Jackson's Birthday Class 4
BEL CANTO DREAM (2) showed very good improvement to win his maiden race at long odds over 1400m at Kenilworth last start. He raced from a handy position, quickened up well and drew clear of the opposition. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He takes on stronger rivals but he has plenty of scope and should be well up to the task at hand. TOUCHDOWN (8) ran on well when beaten a head over this course and distance last time. He is in a good space having placed in three of his last five starts and is one of the leading contenders. PINOT GRIGIO (3) has produced two good efforts since winning his maiden over 1400m on this course three starts back. He resumes from a spell and the break would have done him the world of good. It is encouraging that Richard Fourie is booked to ride and he can't be ignored. KING'S QUEST (6) only finished fifth of eight over 1600m last start when well supported but looks better placed here and can atone.
