Kenilworth Race 6 - Turf Talk Syndicate Middle Stakes
CANDY TOWN (6) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1000m at Durbanville last time. Form here at this trip is sound. Has a high cruising speed. Best form puts her right in this. NORTH POINT (5) is a distance specialist who was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1100m at this track, beaten 2 lengths into eighth. Has the talent to figure prominently. FLYING FINLEY (4) scored at this track last time out with a head in reserve at the end of 1000m. Has three wins here. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Should be involved in the finish. ELUSIVE WINTER (8) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1000m at Durbanville, beaten only 1.2 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.

Last start 5th of 9 at this track on March 30 over 1000m, 0.9 len behind Flying Finley with 56.5kg at $7. Before that won by a nose at Durbanville March 4 over 1000m defeating Catch A Penny carrying 57kg at $2.80. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.
