Kenilworth Race 2 - Join The Race Coast Turf Club Maiden Plate (F & M)
BLACK ERIKA (2) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1200m. Much improved run and has upside. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FANTINE (5) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1200m at this track, an improvement on her seventh on debut at Durbanville the run before. Well placed and can feature in the finish. SWIFT SERENITY (1) is yet to break through in six runs. Finished 12th at her last appearance over 1500m at Durbanville on October 25. Freshened and back in trip. Has placed 2/4 here and worth another try. WINTER IN AUCKLAND (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
