Durbanville Race 6 - Vhm Racing Syndicate D Stakes

VIRIDIAN RUBY (10) Was fighting out the finish when winning last run at Kenilworth. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Will be around the mark at odds. BOLERO (1) Back from a break. Nice effort when winning by 3/4L last start at Kenilworth and can save some energy from the gate. Up in weight. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. SHIFTING PATH (3) Put the head down when winning last run around here and will appreciate the drop in class. Will have to carry more weight. Goes very close. HIAWATHA GOLDBERG (6) Finished 6th last run at the track. Have to respect the recent stable form. Don't dismiss.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after closing his first campaign with a Kenilworth MPLTE win over 1000m, beating In The Air Tonight by just under a length on yielding ground. His debut fourth behind Like Dynamite was plain by margin, but he has race upside from only two starts. One unplaced try around 1250m and the big weight are the queries, so he profiles as a genuine place hope rather than a clear top pick.

Recent form makes him hard to recommend, with a fifth at this venue last start in Benchmark 70 company followed by a last-placed run the start prior. He does have a win at this track and distance and gets the apprentice claim, but he has been beaten by stronger chances he meets again. A sharper finish is required before he becomes a serious threat.

Comments

Arrives in winning form after taking a Benchmark 70 at this track by a long neck from Ulez Camera, having also placed behind Avignon the run prior. His three wins and three placings from twelve starts at this track and distance are the best fit in the race. Even with more weight now, he brings the right form, venue record and rider combination to remain the horse to beat.

Comments

Went close when third in an FM Benchmark 70 at this venue last start, beaten just over a length by Meg's Legacy on yielding ground. The run prior was also honest enough when fourth at big odds, so she is holding form. The concern is a modest winning profile and only one placing from fifteen starts around 1250m, leaving her as an outside place chance.

Closed nearer the mark when fourth behind Shifting Path in a Benchmark 70 at this track, beaten two and a half lengths after starting an outside chance. That was a better guide than his unwanted tenth behind Jet A One the run before. He still has to turn the tables on key rivals, but the class drop, gear angle and solid placing record around this distance keep him among the main winning hopes.

Comments

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing sixth behind Jet A One over 1400m at this venue, beaten just over three lengths when near the top of betting. His previous run was much weaker when last behind Peace Of Mind. The return to a distance where he has won is a positive, but his recent pattern still points to an each-way chance only.

Finished sixth behind Shifting Path in Benchmark 70 company at this venue last start, beaten six lengths and unwanted in betting. He had been safely held in the same grade at his previous run as well. His overall record is not hopeless and he has won around 1250m, but the recent evidence says he has to lift sharply against these.

Returns from a one-month freshening and is third-up after a sound third behind Jet A One at this track, beaten two lengths over 1400m. His earlier fourth behind Born Of Fire was also respectable, and he has placed twice from three starts at this track and distance. The maiden record after thirteen starts is the obvious knock, but his current form keeps him right in the winning discussion.

Back from a two-month break after a well-supported FM MPLTE win at Kenilworth, where she beat Peach Cobbler by a nose over 1000m. Her debut third at this track behind World Of Secrets was encouraging, and she has done little wrong in two starts. The first look around 1250m and wide barrier make this a sterner assignment, but she has enough upside to be included in exotics.
