MR87 HANDICAP at Kenilworth on Tuesday August is a quiet month on the local horseracing front. General housekeeping in the racing yards means that field sizes can come under pressure. Given that reality, Kenilworth hosts a very nice tricky eight-race programme on Tuesday, with Justin Snaith holding a strong hand in the topliner.

A

ugust is a popular month for taking a well deserved rest, or holiday for those who can afford it, for trainers, jockeys and the horses. It is also generally the wettest month down in the Cape, but the Milnerton tracks this year are

still very playable as we reach the halfway point of the month.

Snaith Duo

Justin Snaith has a decent coupling in the small field of seven that goes to post in the 1400m MR 87 Handicap. Their first choice jockey Richard Fourie takes the ride on the beautifully bred Trippi

gelding Overshadow. The lightly raced 4yo is out of the high-class racemare, Shadow Dancing, who won both the Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas and Gr1 Klawervlei Majorca Stakes in an illustrious track career. Overshadow won over the course and distance last time out and returns from a 9

week break. If fit, he certainly ticks the boxes and looks very progressive.

His stablemate Star Chestnut won two good races in the 2015 SA Champions Season on the East Coast but has failed to win again. Cont. p.2
