Garrix will take a power of beating
The Straits Times
|April 11, 2025
RACE 1 (1,200M) (12) MARKETA ran a super race on debut behind Cliffscape on March 22. She was drawn poorly at Durbanville but still managed to run just three lengths behind the winner. Watch her closely.
-
(1) UNA THE UNICORN improved nicely in her second start at the races, behind Cliffscape. She will be stalking the speed early, and she will be storming home late.
(2) PARALEGAL ran a lovely second behind Jordash on Feb 11. She will be right there in the finish.
(7) GOT THE LOOK was beaten just over five lengths on debut.
RACE 2 (1,400M) (1) ARISTOTLE was outfought in a similar contest over slightly further in his last start. This shorter trip will be more to his liking. Best-weighted (4) GRAND CRESCENDO and favourably treated (2) GIMMEANOTHERCHANCE are better than their last appearances suggest.
(3) ROYAL FORCE has a bit to find on recent form but remains open to improvement, so could get closer.
RACE 3 (1,200M) (4) THINGAMABOB ran a fair race behind Wehaveasituation on March 26. Now that she drops back in trip, she should have a good winning chance.
(9) CAPE CAPTAIN has improved nicely in her last two runs up the straight at Kenilworth. She must have a good each-way chance in this wide open race.
(6) ALEX MILLER drops back in trip. Good opportunity for her to exit the maiden ranks.
(15) ALESSIA ASHEVILLE still ran okay from terrible draws in her last two starts at Durbanville. She can trouble them all in the finish.
RACE 4 (1,800M) (2) ARTIC SILVER finished nearer the winner with each outing. This extended trip will unlock further progress.
(1) ART NOUVEAU is unlikely to remain a maiden for much longer.
(7) CITY LIGHTS fits a similar profile with the form and experience to play a leading role. However, she is vulnerable to the less-exposed younger rivals, including (5) WORLD TOUR.
RACE 5 (1,000M) (5) HERITAGE RIDGE has run two very good seconds in a row. This looks to be the perfect race for her to exit the maiden ranks.
(2) TRIPPING THUNDER never runs a bad race. He will be on speed and should be in it for a long way.
