S A NURSERY (Grade 1) - Nothing hazy about CLOTH OF CLOUD

10-8-6-2-4

Improvement is rapid amongst the two year olds and there could be an upset. CLOTH OF CLOUD, the two year old daughter of  CAPTAIN AL, has won both of her starts to date and looks to be as good as both runs have suggested. The Sean Tarry trained filly made an impressive debut in Cape Town in January and followed that up last time. The extra distance should suit her even more. S'Manga Khumalo rides for the third time. She is the only filly in the race but that should not stand in her way. She is half sister to the talented filly, SILVER MOUNTAIN. This is her toughest assignment to date and should be the one to follow.

An interesting runner is the debut winner from last time and stable companion, RIGHTFUL KING. he won impressively over this C & D last time. If he is as good as that run tends to indicate then he should make a bold bid. Anton Marcus, who rode JANOOBI last time has the ride this afternoon. He has a good chance in this race if CLOTH OF CLOUD were to fluff his lines.

Mike De Kock is sure to challenge when he sends out the two-time winner, JANOOBI, who had to be worked hard at to win last time. He is going to win his fair share of races. He must be respected.

CHILI CON CARNE won his maiden comfortably last time. That was his second run. Watch for further improvement. FLYING MYTH was not disgraced in his post maiden last time. Won on debut the run before that. Bernard Fayd'Herbe rides for Sean Tarry.
