Durbanville Race 4 - Racing Club Syndicate Mdn Plate
BIG CITY ROLLER (6) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Has wound up strongly and narrowly missed both career runs. Rates on top. Capable of a strong showing. CARDINAL KING (8) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.2 lengths adrift in third over 1000m at Kenilworth on debut. Shows ability and can open the account this time. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE (11) is a first-starter by Master Of My Fate from Scandola. Lots of stakes performers in the family including Grade 2 winner Cala Muretta. Should be ready to fire. CRACKER (12) is a two-start maiden who filled a minor placing at this track at the last run before spelling. Drawn out which makes the job a little harder. Nicely placed and can feature in the finish.
