Kenilworth Race 5 - Champion Apprentice And Champion Jockey C Stakes
BOURBON KING (7) Brave effort to win narrowly last time at Durbanville but rises in weight. Producing consistent results since returning from a break. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Can win. LIEFLING (2) Won by 2 1/2L last run at Durbanville and can find a nice position from the draw. Going well this campaign and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Goes very close. FORT LIAM (6) Won narrowly by a nose last run at Durbanville. Has the ability to take this out. SUPERHERO (1) Came in 4th last start at Durbanville. May see an upturn in form and drawn the rails. Has run into the money multiple times this preparation. Winning hope.

Really dug deep when winning last start at Durbanville and carrying less weight this time. Won't be far away during the run. This field likely to be too good.
