Kenilworth Race 7 - Champion Owner C Stakes

PALACE GIFT (1) finished 4 lengths adrift in sixth last time at Durbanville. Not far away this grade in two runs back and has a good record course and distance. Strong winning hope. MAJOR APOLLO (9) was sent out at long odds last time but ran above expectations to finish second, beaten only 0.8 lengths, over 1000m at Durbanville. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Leading contender. CHAMPAGNE CASTLE (8) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 13th over 1200m at Greyville. Has two wins from four starts at this circuit. Has good upside and expected to take catching fresh. MY BONNY BOY (5) comes here following a win over 1000m at Durbanville seven weeks ago, getting home by a neck. A bold showing is expected.

Comes here off a 32-day let-up. Last start 2nd of 7 at Durbanville on July 14 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind Moody Blue with 54kg at $21. The run before that ran last in a small field at Durbanville on June 27 over 1000m, 4 len behind Heritage Ridge carrying 61.5kg at $3.30. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.
