New Turf Carriers Western Cape Stayers (Grade 2)
1m 5f 203y
Going: Good
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneAs is usually the case in staying races, the pace could determine the outcome. On form and given the conditions of the race, maturing Highveld raider SPARKLING WATER rates the one to beat. She is the best-weighted runner and should have little trouble seeing out the trip. Like her, DOUBLEMINT and CROME YELLOW also won last time out. Both stay well and are favourably treated by the conditions, so could challenge for honours. ONE WAY TRAFFIC, HOLY WARRIOR and SUDDEN STAR are all held by DOUBLEMINT on form and revised weight terms but should keep the principals honest and can feature.
