Durbanville Race 3 - Bet With Tote Www.tote.co.za Mdn Plate
ROYAL INFLUENCER (3) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a nose away in second over 1500m at Kenilworth. Drawn to go forward. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MADRA RUA (4) was in commission second up last start and was in the frame for the second time in as many runs this prep, finishing third over 1000m at Kenilworth. Fitter and should go well. THE BIG BANG (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1250m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to take this out. MONTESSORI (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1250m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 32-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 7 at Kenilworth on June 23 over 1500m, nose behind Superhero carrying 60kg at $3.50. The start before that 2nd of 9 at Kenilworth on May 16 over 1800m, slow going 3.5 len behind Bourbon King with 60kg at $5. Put the writing on the wall last time. Overdue and gets chance.
