Durbanville Race 6 - Www.racecoast.co.za C Stakes
CATCH ME (3) Winner by 1 1/4L last start here and showing consistent performance in races. Racing consistently this preparation. Can have an impact. BOURBON KING (4) Appeared lacklustre when 7th last time around here. Giving another go here. First start for a new trainer. Putting up notable efforts since returning from a spell. Won't be far away. DANNY ATLAS (7) Fought on gamely when winning last start at Greyville and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Will be positive in the run early. Well placed and has solid claims. HAVOC (6) Finished 5th last time here. Jockey K De Melo rates highly aboard. Likely to get back. Solid place bet prospects.

Returns after five weeks off a 1400m MPLTE win at this venue, where he firmed from bigger odds and beat Bullet Tooth Tony by just under a length. The market lift and second-up profile are positives, but he has not raced around 1600m and meets a set of proven milers. With one win from two starts, there is scope; a placing looks a realistic aim if he runs the trip.

Back after four months, having ended last campaign sixth over 2000m at this venue, beaten just over five lengths at generous odds. His previous Kenilworth BM69 second showed more substance, but he is unplaced in four starts at this track and returns with a bit to prove. A 1600m win keeps him from being dismissed, though the stronger claims sit elsewhere.

Returns after six weeks following a well-supported MPLTE win at this venue, where he started odds-on and beat Zanfan Moris by just over a length. He had earlier been beaten only a neck by Warrior Of Destiny at Kenilworth, so the form pattern is sound. The winning rider stays aboard and his 80% place record gives him a strong platform for another honest run.

Returns after five weeks since finishing seventh in a BM82 at this venue, beaten just under four lengths after being sent out favourite. His win over Captains Alliance at this track the start prior reads better, and he has one win and two placings from four tries around 1600m. That keeps him in the each-way mix, though he has to recapture his sharper form.

Returns after six weeks since a fair seventh over 2000m at this venue, beaten just over four lengths when only an outside chance in betting. The run prior was stronger, winning at Kenilworth by two lengths from Balzi Rossi, and he is proven at 1600m with two wins from nine attempts. His track-and-trip win is a key asset, and the return to that profile makes him a serious threat.

Returns after five weeks with the right profile after a BM70 fifth at this venue, beaten just over three lengths after firming from bigger odds. He drops to 57kg after carrying 59.5kg there, and his previous win over Landman at this track showed he can put this sort of race away. Already a winner at the distance and suited back in grade, he has the most convincing winning case.

Back after two months following a Greyville MPLATE win, where he was well supported and beat Dreadnought by a long neck. That followed a narrow second to Nautical Fire over 1400m at Greyville Aw, so he is moving the right way. His one start at the distance was a win, but this asks for more against seasoned rivals and he has to find another level.
