KEMBLA GRANGE R1 - GERMANICUS Has Speed To Burn - A small but select field for the 1st race on the card at Kembla Grange on Saturday. The General Nediym 4yo gelding Germanicus has been promising to do something special for some time now and his prior trial form suggests he is well above the level required to win a race of this nature as does his exposed race form. He comes in here without trialling which will see him totally fresh and ready to produce that blistering speed he has in past trials including before the start of last prep when a close 2nd to Kimberley Kid with a further 6l margin back to 3rd. He looks the one to beat and confidence is good, anything better than 2/1 is good odds for this prospect.

The early scratching of Cap Dancer makes Germanicus even a better bet now and 11/8 or 2.40 is realistically a good value price to take now.
