Durbanville Race 4 - Centenary Club Open Maiden (F & M)
PACIFIC WATERS (9) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Kenilworth over 1600m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Will find this easier. Fitter and expected to improve sharply. KITUBA (2) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when fifth over 1200m at Kenilworth three-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. VIXENS WAR (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Kenilworth over 1800m. Expected to run well again. SPIRIT OF NICAL (5) was beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 1600m at Kenilworth three-and-a-half weeks ago. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.

She is resuming after a nine weeks break. Finished off last campaign ninth of 13 at this track January 17 over 1400m, 7 len behind South Of France with 60kg at $76. On debut eighth of 12 at Kenilworth November 8 over 1200m, 7 len behind Gimmeanotherviking carrying 60kg at $34. Unlikely to trouble the top few.
