Greyville Race 5

Drakenstein Stud C Stakes

Stake: $10,564

All this form is intertwined. CONTINENTALEXPRESS (5) won two on end, the most recent in open class, before a last start placing here over 1900m. Meets the winner better at the weights and will take catching again. SPECTACULAR (2) was just edged out two back then proved too good last time here over CONTINENTALEXPRESS. A few kilos worse off this time but hard to fault the form and should go close again. THE MIKADO (6) has placed behind CONTINENTALEXPRESS last two starts and has been kept fresh for this. Meets him better at the weights so can be in the finish again. RODRIGUEZ (11) could manage only fourth last time behind SPECTACULAR but has a 3kg weight swing and can do better.

Racing well recently. Most recently favourite; won by 1.1 len at this track October 19 over 1900m defeating Continentalexpress with 55.5kg at $3.50. Before that 2nd of 10 at Greyville All Weather on September 24 over 2000m, long-neck behind Syx Hotfix with 54.5kg at $4.30. More weight but in top form and should go close again.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 8 at this track on September 26 over 2400m, 1.4 len behind Continentalexpress with 61.5kg at $11. The run before that 3rd of 8 at Scottsville on August 31 over 2400m, 3.5 len behind Continentalexpress carrying 64kg at $13.50. No match for the winner last two but meets him better at the weights and should be in the finish again.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 11 at this track on October 19 over 1900m, 2.25 len behind Spectacular carrying 50kg at $11. Before that 3rd of 10 at Greyville All Weather on September 24 over 2000m, 2 len behind Syx Hotfix carrying 57kg at $5. Meets the winner 3kg better this time. Big chance after a respectable effort last time out.
