Race Summary: SICILY has been well tried in the maiden ranks, he stayed on nicely for fifth behind Rachettu on the 25th of July, he drops in trip to 1000m, and he gets the services of top jockey Richard Fourie, this looks a good opportunity for him to finally get it right. EL COHETE finished just under three lengths behind Barney McGrew at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 2nd of September, she is very fast, her chances must be respected in this field. MADE IN CHELSEA has been rested and gelded, ignore his last performance on the 24th of May, he is much better than that, in hope that he doesn’t need the run after a small break, he could sneak into the places late. LANA’S GAL looks best of the rest on form, she has a good draw, there should be no excuses for this filly.
Selections: #1 SICILY, #4 EL COHETE, #6 MADE IN CHELSEA, #3 LANA’S GAL
