Mauritius Race 1 - 7f Stakes
CAPTAIN MARSALA (3) brings the most reliable recent form, with a second and a third at this venue at his past two starts and the latest coming when beaten just over a length over 1600m after being well found in betting. He has placed three times from four attempts at this track and distance, so the return to 1450m still gives him a strong platform. KAISARISSA (4) is the danger if he reproduces his start-prior second, when beaten just under a length, and the drop from 0-26 grade to this 0-20 suits after a plain sixth last time. RIVER HAWK (2) has been below his best at the past two runs, but his three wins at around 1450m and past success with Bawan Sooful keep him in the mix. HIGH KEY (5) has the recent figures to turn around, yet four wins and six placings from 14 starts at this track and distance make him a genuine place threat if he finds his older form.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing sixth in a 0-25 at this track, beaten six and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. His fourth to Flag Champ the start prior was sounder, and the drop into 0-20 company is a plus. A veteran with seven wins and 11 placings from 29 tries around 1450m, but he has been unplaced in all three starts this season, so this looks an each-way rather than win-first profile.

Was closer without threatening when fourth to Cape Cannery at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths after starting near the top of betting. The run prior was plain in a 0-25 when seventh and beaten just under ten lengths, so he has to sharpen up again. His 1450m record is solid, with three wins and three placings from 14 attempts, and the winning rider returns. He appeals more as a placing chance than a clear top pick.

Has been knocking on the door, finishing third to Rainwater over 1600m at this track last start and beaten just over a length after being near the top of betting. That followed a second to Lunar Descent, again beaten just over a length, so his recent form is the strongest in this field. He has not won at this track and distance but has placed three times from four tries, and that consistency makes him the one they have to beat.

Third-up now and capable of better than his latest sixth in a 0-26 at this track, where he was beaten just over eight lengths despite being near the top of betting. His previous second to Flag Champ was much stronger, beaten just under a length in a 0-25, and he now drops into 0-20 company. With a win and two placings from eight attempts around 1450m, he has the right credentials to rebound into the placings.

Has recent form to turn around after finishing fifth to Lunar Descent at this track, beaten six and a half lengths at generous odds, following a last placing over 1850m in BM36 company. The counter is a strong record at this track and distance, with four wins and six placings from 14 starts, and that gives him genuine relevance back at 1450m. At this stage of his career, he profiles as a place hope if that course record resurfaces.

Returns from a three-month break after ending his last campaign with a fourth at this track over 990m, beaten just under nine lengths at generous odds. The start prior was another fourth, beaten five and a half lengths after being sent out at long odds. He has yet to win from seven starts, is unplaced in five runs at this venue, and his record around 1450m is also bare. Barrier one helps, but he has plenty to find.
