Windsor 3:42 Result

Cape Toronada's recent form reads 421411 - a string of consistent, improving efforts culminating in back-to-back wins, and she's clearly in career-best form right now. Third-time handicapped off a fair mark of 66, she's proven at this trip/track type of test and has been racing at a suitable level against similar or tougher company. Tony Carroll's yard is in good form and Rossa Ryan takes the ride, a booking that suggests confidence. The only slight concern is the wide draw (14), but on a straight 6f course that's less of an issue than at some venues, and it can even allow her to race on her own terms without being hampered. Key market rivals: Strike (OR70) has the highest mark but his form figure of 832416 is more mixed and he's had a break; Cypriot Diaspora and Distant Rumble also hold form but neither shows the same sharp upward trajectory. Silky Robin (655113) is interesting with Marquand up and a recent win, but his margin of improvement isn't as clear cut. Given Cape Toronada is unexposed for this level, still only 3, taking on some experienced (older) rivals, and has won her last two starts, she looks the most likely type to progress again and is the strongest combination of form and value in this competitive but modest class 5 handicap.
