Durbanville Race 7 - Langerman (Grade 3)
KALAHARI KING (6) was well fancied last start over 1100m in Group 3 class at Kenilworth when fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Extra trip looks a plus and expected to measure up. AQUAE CALIDAE (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 1200m at Kenilworth last time, getting there by 5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be discounted. CATWALK KING (2) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by one length over 1200m at Listed level at Kenilworth. Was a winner at the only previous second-up run and this looks well within his grasp. FROM THE ISLAND (9) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1400m at Kenilworth ten weeks ago. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Not to be discounted.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 3rd in a small field at Kenilworth on April 15 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind From The Island with 57kg at $6.50. Last start won by a neck at Kenilworth June 16 over 1400m on a soft track defeating African Wild Dog with 60kg at $2.80. Capable of a strong showing.

Having third race start. At debut, 2nd of 10 at Kenilworth on March 30 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Kalahari King carrying 60kg at $5.50. Last start favourite; won by 5 len at Kenilworth May 24 over 1200m defeating Another Hero with 60kg at $1.40. Far too good to score latest. Capable of a strong showing.

Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd of 7 at Kenilworth on June 16 over 1400m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Uncle Sam carrying 60kg at $2.30. The run before that 2nd of 9 at Kenilworth on May 24 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Hero's Journey carrying 60kg at $3.50. Doesn't need to improve much to play a big role.

Resuming after a ten weeks break. Finished off last campaign winning by long-neck Kenilworth April 15 over 1400m defeating It'sgood It'snice carrying 60kg at $3.50. On debut fourth of 12 at Kenilworth February 4 over 1000m, 5 len behind World Series carrying 60kg at $34. Definite top-three contender.
