Mauritius Race 7 - 5f Stakes
THAT'LL B THE DAY (7) is the horse to beat after making it three straight, most recently winning by just under three lengths at this track in Lower Division Stakes company. His record at this venue and his consistency at around 990m give him the strongest current profile. SECRET PASSAGE (4) is the main danger, having resumed with a length-and-a-half win at this track as a short odds-on favourite and bringing a perfect record both at the venue and with Donavan Mansour. CAPTAIN MIKE (5) is the proven specialist, with seven wins and two placings from twelve starts at this track and distance, and his latest second to Warhead reads well enough for a minor upset chance. PENNSYLVANIA (3) has the class-drop angle and a solid overall record, but must rebound from being beaten just over eight lengths when well fancied last time.

Has been safely held at both runs this campaign, finishing sixth in a Handicap 55+ at this track last start when beaten just over seven lengths and unwanted in the market. The start prior was similar, with a fifth at this venue and a margin just under nine lengths. His track-and-trip record is sound, but recent form leaves him with plenty to find.

Resumes after five months off, having been last seen finishing last in a Pinnacle Stakes at this venue when beaten nine and a half lengths at long odds. His previous run was no better, tailing off behind Royal Wulff. He is proven around 990m and gets a 4kg claim, but four unplaced runs at this track are a clear concern.

Returns after six weeks following a plain fourth in a 55+ at this track, beaten just over eight lengths despite being near the top of betting. The stronger reference is his second to Solomons Seal two runs back, beaten only a long neck, and his overall record of three wins and three placings from eleven starts has substance. A rebound puts him in the placings mix.

Resumed in winning style at this track over 1365m, beating Spirit's Unite by a length and a half as a short odds-on favourite. That backed up a Benchmark 56 win at this venue, and the profile is hard to fault with four wins from four starts at the track and the same record with Donavan Mansour. Already a winner at around 990m, he rates a major threat again.

Returns from two months off after going close behind Warhead at this track, beaten just under a length when near the top of betting. The run prior was also competitive, finishing fourth and beaten a length behind Solomons Seal. Drawn to use his natural speed from barrier one, and with seven wins at this track and distance, he is a serious place chance.

Resumes after over a year off, so fitness under race pressure is the obvious unknown. He was last seen winning a HCP0-101 at Greyville Aw by just over half a length from Future Flo, following a two-length third in Open grade. His record around 990m is reliable enough, but first look at this venue adds a genuine race-day test.

Returns after five weeks in outstanding form, having won three straight and most recently scoring by just under three lengths in a Lower Division Stakes at this track. He had earlier beaten Fine One over 1365m as a short odds-on favourite, and now gets in with just 52kg. With three wins from three starts at this venue and a perfect place record around 990m, he has the strongest winning case.
