Kenilworth Race 5 - Champion Apprentice And Champion Jockey C Stakes
FORT LIAM (6) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track with a win over 2000m at Durbanville a month ago, getting home by a nose after being prominent at the bend. Open class winner latest and can go on to make it two in a row. BOURBON KING (7) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win over 1600m at Durbanville three weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Course and distance winner and in great form. Sure to run well. SUPERHERO (1) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when fourth over 1600m at Durbanville, beaten 1.4 lengths after making up late ground. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. WALOYO YAMONI (4) progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.75 lengths over 1950m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 39 day let-up. Last start 4th of 8 at Durbanville on July 7 over 1600m, 1.4 len behind Baton Rouge carrying 60.5kg at $4.50. Before that won by a nose at this track on June 23 over 1500m defeating Royal Influencer carrying 60kg at $2.40. Doesn't need to improve that much.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 32-day let-up. Most recently came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Durbanville on July 14 over 2000m, 4.5 len behind Fort Liam with 57kg at $9. The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 7 at this track on May 16 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Trip To Camelot carrying 59kg at $5.50.

Returns from a 39-day let-up. Last start won by 0.5 len at Durbanville on July 7 over 1600m defeating Devil A Saint carrying 59kg at $15. The run before that ran second last of 7 at this track on June 21 over 1950m, 4 len behind Waloyo Yamoni carrying 57kg at $11. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
