Kenilworth Race 5 - Perfectly Placed Apprentice Class 5
WINTER PEARL (3) bounced back last start and scored by a long neck as favourite over 1250m at Durbanville. Aided by the big claim and no reason he cannot repeat the dose. JET A ONE (7) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1250m at Durbanville, beaten only a long neck. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. BONNE BOUCHE (6) finds it hard to win but ran a strong race last time when beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 1250m at Durbanville. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One to consider. OZARK (1) followed an unplaced effort two starts back with a third last start over 1250m at Durbanville. Nicely placed to take this out.

Last start favourite; won by a long-neck at Durbanville March 21 over 1250m defeating Jet A One carrying 59kg at $2.40. The start before that 5th of 10 at this track on February 22 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind District Master with 59.5kg at $9. Doesn't win out of turn but back in form and aided by the claim. Great chance to win again.

Last start second last of 8 at Durbanville on March 21 over 1250m, 6 len behind Winter Pearl with 56.5kg at $9. The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 7 at Durbanville on February 14 over 1000m, 1.0 len behind Country Time with 60kg at $7. Prefer in something a bit easier.
