Durbanville Race 4 - Racing Club Syndicate Mdn Plate
BIG CITY ROLLER (6) Looked good when 2nd last start at the track. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Capable of taking this out. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE (11) Justin Snaith trained 3yo by Master Of My Fate having first race appearance. Jockey K De Melo rates highly aboard. Betting as a guide. CRACKER (12) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. In the money when 3rd last start at this venue. Can win. CARDINAL KING (8) Tidy effort when 3rd last run at Kenilworth and fitter for debut run. Expecting to settle positively. Looks to be value.

At $151.00 below expectations when 9th last start here but will try to take advantage of the gate. Does take a while to get into stride. Simply cannot have.

Ran well when 2nd last start here. Displays good tactical speed. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Honest race when 3rd last run at Kenilworth and was a debutant last start. Likely to be well placed early. Forward showing expected.

Jumped at $12.00 and below par performance when 10th last time at Kenilworth but having second race start. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Very unlikely to shake these.

Back after a break. At $11.00 below standard effort when 11th last time at Kenilworth but was on debut last time. Likely to get back. Can't recommend.

Resumes from a break. Came in 3rd last start at this venue. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide barrier. Can measure up against these.
