Kenilworth Race 4 - Follow Cape Racing On Social Media Maiden Plate (F & M)
TAKE IT AS RED (5) has finished fourth in all three of her races to date. She stayed on well at the finish over 1200m last time. Resumes from a spell and if not in need of the run may be the one to beat. HUNGA TONGA (7) set the pace over this distance at Durbanville last time, before getting outrun late. Andrew Fortune is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her when it matters most. OCOTILLO (11) stayed on well when third over 1500m at Durbanville last time. She is drawn wide in barrier 11 but gets the services of Craig Zackey who will give her all the necessary assistance needed from the saddle. MISS WILLIAM (12) has the speed to overcome a wide draw and is not the worst.

Comes off a 47 day let-up. Last start 10th of 12 at Durbanville on March 5 over 1600m, 6 len behind Dubbelosix with 54.5kg at $26. The start before that 7th of 11 at this track on February 5 over 1800m, 4 len behind Double Dash with 60kg at $51. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

Most recently 2nd of 14 at Durbanville on March 26 over 1400m, head behind Wehaveasituation carrying 59.5kg at $67. Before that 6th of 11 at this track on February 5 over 1800m, 3.5 len behind Double Dash carrying 60kg at $13.50. Narrowly missed last start and is a top chance again.

Going well. Returns from a 44-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 14 at Durbanville on March 8 over 1500m, 3.5 len behind Kleinzee with 61.5kg at $6. The race before that 2nd of 11 at this track on January 18 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Englefield Green with 59kg at $8. Capable of going to the next level.
