Kenilworth Race 7 - Western Cape Fillies Championship (Grade 2) (3 Year-Old Fillies)
OVER MY SHOULDER (8) Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last time at Durbanville but stepping up to a higher level. Has more weight to carry. Has to be strongly considered. VERSE FOR SUZANNE (10) Winner by 2 1/4L last run at Durbanville and good career start. Won last 2 in succession but facing formidable rivals. Jockey K De Melo is a plus. Among better hopes. PALACE OF ARVERNIA (5) Back from a break. Got the cash when winning by 3/4L last start at Greyville and good career start. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Deserves consideration. FOG IN FINLAND (1) Strong performance to win by 2L last time at Durbanville and has the ideal alley. Tracking very well this campaign but matched against a stronger field. Knockout chance in this.

Lifted sharply last start at Durbanville, winning over 1600m by just over two lengths after firming into a well-supported favourite and beating Money Extractor. That came after a G3 sixth to Double Grand Slam when unwanted in the market, so the current form line has more substance. The query is coming back to 1400m, where she has been unplaced, but her last-start rating keeps her right in the winning mix.

Returns from a six-week let-up after finishing fourth in a FM BM82 at Durbanville, beaten a length and a half by Miss William after easing from opening levels. Her previous run was a close second at this track over 1250m, beaten a long neck by October Fest, and she has one win and one place from three starts at this venue. The first try around 1400m asks for more, so she profiles as an outside hope.

Back after one month since finishing last of five in a PLATE at Durbanville, beaten just over two lengths by Rich Man's World as an outside chance. She does have earlier black-type substance, including a Listed second to Grapes Of Wrath when beaten half a length, and she has placed at around 1400m. Even so, she has to recapture that better run to trouble the stronger recent winners.

Comes in with two Durbanville wins behind her, most recently taking a FM BM70 by a nose from Meg's Legacy after attracting some support at long odds. She had earlier won a FM MPLTE by a head at 51.0, so the winning habit is there, and Gareth Wright is two from two on her. The rise to around 1400m is new and this is a sterner assignment, so a fair lift is required.

Returns from a four-month spell after ending last campaign with consecutive G2 wins at Greyville, most recently beating Perfect Sky by just under a length when heavily backed into a very short odds-on quote. The win prior was also strong, scoring by just over a length from Alice B Toklas. She is three from four overall and one from one at 1400m, giving her the clearest winning profile in the race.

Built on a close third to Georgie Girl by winning a FM MPLTE at Durbanville last start, beating Spurious by just over a length after firming from a bigger opening quote. She has one win and one place from two starts this season, which reads well enough, though her overall record is still one win from six. Honest current form gives her genuine place claims rather than a dominant winning case.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a plain sixth over 1000m at Durbanville, beaten seven and a half lengths by Oliver with no clear excuse in the data. Her prior run was a G2 third at Greyville over 1600m, which gives her a stronger reference point, and Callan Murray has a good record on her. She can improve second-up, but the latest run makes her more a placing hope.

Returns from a five-week freshening unbeaten in two starts, having won on debut at this track before taking a FM BM82 at Durbanville by a neck as odds-on favourite. The margins have not been extravagant, but the market has respected her both times and the Snaith-Fourie combination is a major positive at this venue. This is deeper, yet her upside keeps her among the key chances.

Resumed with a sound Durbanville win over 1250m, beating Shifting Path by just under two lengths in BM70 grade despite starting an outside chance. She had ended her previous run at this track with a four-and-a-half-length MPLTE win, so the ability is there. The move to around 1400m is untried, but two wins from three overall gives her a realistic minor-money profile.

Has won her past two at Durbanville and the latest was decisive, taking a FM BM82 over 1600m by two and a half lengths from Lark's Song after sitting near the top of betting. She had been a heavily backed favourite when winning her maiden start prior, and she is one from one around 1400m. Race-fit, in form and proven at the trip, she has a strong platform to challenge the top pick.

Returns from a three-month spell after finishing fifth in a FM BM70 at Durbanville, beaten just over four lengths by Sparkling Star when near the top of betting. Her Listed fourth to Grapes Of Wrath before that was better, and she has won her only start at this track. Still, she is yet to place around 1400m and has to find sharper form to threaten these.

Finished fifth at Durbanville last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Viva Asterix at big odds, following a sixth at Scottsville in FM BM82 grade. She has a 1400m placing and two wins overall, so there is some base ability, but her two runs this season have been unplaced. Against several sharper fillies, she will have to improve noticeably.
