Mauritius Race 1 - 1m Stakes
NEW YORK CITY (4) has the clearest recent profile, having finished second and fourth at this track at his past two runs and beaten just under two lengths last start after being well found in betting. He is still a maiden after 10 starts, but four placings from seven runs at this venue and a placing from his only try around 1650m give him the right foundation. FORTUNE HUNTER (2) is the main danger after resuming with a third here, beaten three lengths at generous odds, and his two placings from three starts at this track keep him firmly in the argument despite the trip query. TAKING SILK (7) brings the proven track-and-distance record, with one win and four placings from nine attempts, and the quick back-up suits after two fourths in stronger grades. DIVINE WARRIOR (1) has a place case off his narrow Durbanville second two runs back, though 1650m is new ground and he profiles as a realistic placing hope if he finds that Durbanville effort again.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fifth in a BM31 over 1500m at this track, beaten just under five lengths when near the top of betting. His start prior reads better, with a long-neck second at Durbanville in MPLTE grade despite being unwanted in the market. The class drop is some help, but 1650m is new territory and he looks more a place hope than a runner to charge into.

Resumed with a solid third at this track in a 0-26, beaten three lengths by Kola Tonic at generous odds. That was a much better guide than his second-last here the start prior, when he was near the top of betting but beaten nine and a half lengths. He has placed two times from three starts at this venue and has one placing from three tries at the distance, so the class drop gives him a strong chance to break through.

Finished fifth at this track over 1450m last start, beaten four and a half lengths as a long-odds runner, and the market told a similar story when he was unwanted and beaten just over nine lengths at Durbanville in MPLTE grade two back. He remains unplaced from four starts overall, meets New York City again after being beaten by him recently, and the first try at 1650m adds another hurdle.

Brings the most reliable recent form, finishing fourth over 1450m at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths after again being near the top of betting. He had been favourite when second to Kola Tonic here the run prior, beaten a length, and his past-year record reads four placings from five starts. Still chasing a maiden win, but the track and distance profile is strong enough to make him the one to beat.

Has been well beaten at both recent runs, finishing a distant last at this track over 1450m last start after starting at long odds, and the start prior in BM31 company was no better when unwanted in the market. He does get weight relief and draws barrier one, but six previous tries around 1650m have produced no wins or placings. A sharp turnaround is required.

Comes here third-up after two plain fifths at this track, beaten just over seven lengths on each occasion. The latest was in a 0-20 over 1450m, while the run prior saw him only an outside chance in the betting. Weight relief, a class drop and a previous placing at this distance give him a few positives, but his current form leaves him with a fair bit to find.

Backs up quickly after finishing fourth in a BM31 over 1850m at this track, beaten just under five lengths as an outside chance in the betting. He was also fourth in BM36 grade two starts ago, so the recent form is honest without being sharp. The key is the return to 1650m, where his overall record includes two wins and four placings from 10 starts, with proven track-and-trip form giving him sound place claims.
