Kenilworth 08/11

dbl sark and the best bet on the card at around 7s shall be free

All the best Pilot... imo, I travel Light will finish ahead of Shall Be Free, based on the Newlands run... As well as the draw favouring ITL...

Will be keen to see how the first timers - Perfect Air (R1) and Doyles (R3) go....

Kinda figured that Shall be free is Peter D horse... his thoughts will be welcomed....I am trying to to make a case for Kampala Campari and Captain Courteous in this race... will stay with CC.

Frankel x Nauticus onto CC

1 Duchess Of Prussia / Cambridge Girl / Perfect Air

2 Party Crasher / Mara

3 Rikers Island / Nauticus / Shadow Warrior / Ballad Of The Sea

4 Red Mars / Sark / Tsitsikamma Dance

5 Miss Frankel

6 Sacred Flame / Para Handy / Benfontein

7 Zeb /[strike][strike] Blackmore[/strike][/strike] / Streak Of Silver

8 Made To Conquer / Royal Ginger / Palo Alto

9 [strike][strike]Chaparral's Lady[/strike][/strike] / Grandiflora / Tally-Ho

Miss Frankel can get beat tmr.....top weight out the maiden and 1st run in the cape...prep run...public prosecutor seems a decent filly....last run was all wrong

you correct her 1st run was in the Cape

Sorry meant 1st run back after a rest travelling to cape

Race 1

3 5/1 MARION BELLE Price - BW 16/10

4 Year Old Filly - Out of Unraced Mare AUS - Paid 560 000 Aus Dollars - R 6,069,144.90

The two I fancy on this card are :-

R2, Intothelimelight, getting 5.0kgs from the favourite, Mara, and they both one time winners. Granted, Mara has run to better/exposed horses, but is really 10 pounds superior? The betting does suggest "we're not sure", and is worth the risk.

R7, I Travel Light. After the merit rating drop from a 87 to 82 in 4 months, sulky but well humoured Ramsden will lighten up even more.

Race 1: Dark Goddess reverts to 1200m and is the best of the raced runners, although Star Burst should improve on her fair debut. Some very well bred first timers will make this a tough race to win.
Race 2: A disappointingly small field. Mara and Party Crasher likely to fight it out.
Race 3: Love Triangle returns after a long break during which he had a wind op. He should need this run, but we are hopeful that the op has been successful.
Nauticus is the one to beat. Shadow Warrior has fair form but is well tried. Pata Pata good debut and should be in the hunt. Again some first timers to consider.
Race 4: Black Pimpernel has fair form but is well exposed. Sark and Tsitsikamma Dance have plenty scope for improvement and look the right two. The Sun Also Rises and Red Mars can't be ignored.
Race 5: Miss Frankel won well last time and it wil be good for racing if she can keep on winning.
Her main danger is the consistent Nanna Anna. Rebels Spirit is another to consider.
Race 6: Very open. No selection.
Race 7: Shall be Free is fit and well and won a nice race last time. Has a wide draw to overcome.
I Travel Light is slung in at the weights if anywhere near his best form when running Gold Standard to a head and finishing just a couple of lengths off William Longsword at level weights.
He probably needed his last run and I am amazed that he is not favourite.
The rest of the field pretty closely handicapped.
Race 8: No selection
Race 9: Grandiflora has run well from wide draws and is a big runner now that she has finally cracked a decent draw. Talitha Borealis improved nicely last time and will be a tough nut to crack.
Duntoche has consistent form.
