Noor, bright prospect

November 8, 2015ENTISAAR had to play second fiddle to Silver Mountain in Saturday’s Gr2 Choice Carriers Championship for three-year-old fillies over 1400m at Kenilworth, but Mike de Kock knows exactly where he stands with Sheikh Hamdan’s filly going forward.
Speaking after the race, Mike said he was encouraged with Entisaar’s performance. “She did what she could do in getting second to Mike Bass’ filly, who looks like a runner from the top drawer, so there was no disgrace in defeat.”
Entisaar (blue silks), ran a game race in second to top-class Silver Mountain.

Mike added: “We have no excuses. Entisaar was very fit and well for the race, she jumped well to gain a good position, came forward at the right time and was run out of it on merit by Silver Mountain.”
Entisaar will remain in Cape Town to be aimed at one or more of the sprint features during the Cape Summer and Mike commented: “She is a good sprinter, she saw out the 1400m, but only just. She was extended to get there so now we know the Guineas is not an option for her. There are some good sprint pickings for three-year-old fillies and some weight-for-age contests to consider and we’ll map something out for her in due course.”

Good filly Entisaar, she will be very hard to beat in sprint races, Carry on Alice looks like the best sprinting filly in the country on exposed form but Entisaar should be not far off her.
Entisaar ran a brilliant race considering her last run was in May in a grade 1 race. Still feel she will beat Silver Mountain if they race again.
That Silver Mountain may be the best three year old filly over the mile and further, very impressive win…….she draws well in the fillies Guineas then it will take a good one to beat her………Muwaary for me is the best of the colts over a mile even ahead of Rabada, but over 2000M Rabada might be best as he looks like he takes time to unwind……………Muwaary for the Dingaans for me, Noah from Goa close second or might even surprise Muwaary because Noah has drawn better……..
