Kenilworth Race 10 - Playtech D Stakes
MIDWAY (5) finished 5 lengths behind the winner in fifth over 1800m at Durbanville last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Has won this shorter journey and fairly consistent record here. Worth another chance. BACKINTHEFASTLANE (6) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1800m at Durbanville, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. DOUBLE DISTILLED (4) wasn't far away last time at big odds, finishing second over 2000m at Durbanville. One of the contenders. PRINCE OF TIBET (1) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Comes here with definite top-three claims.

Most recently 5th of 10 at Durbanville on February 11 over 1800m, 5 len behind Double Dash carrying 61.5kg at $9. The race before that won by a long-neck at Durbanville January 21 over 2000m defeating Double Distilled carrying 60kg at $6.50. Has won this shorter journey and fairly consistent record here. Worth another chance.
