Kenilworth Race 3 - Cape Turf Club Syndicates Maiden Plate (F & M)
RUBY REX (2) is better than her last start run over 1250m would suggest as she had to be steadied leaving the start. Her debut effort when third over 1200m on this course was encouraging. If getting away to a clean start, she can win a race of this nature. DUCHESS OF PALOMA (6) stayed on when fourth over 1250m at Durbanville last time. She is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. Inh the mix. WINTER GAMBLE (7) stayed on well when fourth over 1400m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. If not in need of the run, she can place. LOWVELD LILY (3) is an unraced daughter of Legislate from the Justin Snaith stable with Richard Fourie in the saddle. If not in need of this outing, she should give a good account of herself. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to her chances.
