GAUTENG GUINEAS ENTRIES ARE IN

Mike de Kock’s Shoemaker (114), East Coast (112) and Natie Kotzen’s recent impressive Gr3 Tony Ruffel Stakes winner Royal Victory (111) are the three top-rated of the 22 entries received on Monday morning for the WSB Gr2 Gauteng Guineas to be run at Turffontein on Saturday 4 February.

Gareth van Zyl’s Money Heist and Roy Magner’s impressive Turffontein Sunday winner Unzen are next on 108. A son of Erupt, Unzen caught the eye with a terrific return to form on Sunday

Grant Maroun’s Anfields Rocket also made a scintillating winning return on Sunday after returning from the Cape where he ran downfield in the

Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas.

The son of Coup de Grace clocked 55,9 secs for the 1000m and impressed with an eletrifying turn of foot from last to win going away. He has unfortunately pulled a wide gate.

The race is the first leg of the SA Triple Crown

A maximum field of 16 can run, with capacity for 3 reserve runners.

Supplementary entries close at 09h00 on Monday 30 January. Declarations are due on Tuesday 31 January.
