Kenilworth Race 2 - Cape Turf Club Syndicates Maiden Plate
DAY IN DAY OUT (9) was green in the running on debut but stayed on well to finish fourth. He would have gained from the experience and should love the rise to 1200m. With the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one to beat. RHYDIAN (5) has been costly to follow in his last three starts. He returns from a spell during which time he was gelded. If not in need of the run, he should be finishing in the money. OCEAN SKY (12) ran a good race when second in a work riders race on debut. He was green in the running but stayed on well at the finish. Muzi Yeni is booked to ride and he should make the natural improvement needed. KLEIN KAROO (13) stayed on well when fourth over this course and distance last time. He returns from a spell and should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
