Durbanville Race 8 - Normandy Syndicate Progress Plate
JET FORCE (8) is very well placed here. Last two have been in stakes grade including the Grade 1 Queen's Plate latest. Hard to beat back in this class. POWERANDTHEGLORY (6) is a talented type with a good record this trip. Overdue for another win. Doesn't need to improve much to salute. BEWARE (5) was no match in the Grade 1 Cape Guineas two back then just missed latest. Hard to beat again. CAPTAIN WEST (3) has been super consistent without winning. Low draw and will take catching.
