MR 96 HANDICAP at Kenilworth on Wednesday The Kenilworth midweek action continues to provide racing fans with great entertainment. Last week we saw promising Cape Guineas prospect, Craven. This Wednesday we have the legendary Piere Strydom doing duty for Justin Snaith – with last season’s Investec Cape Derby winner It’s My Turn in action.
T
he evergreen Striker, now 50 years old, a multiple champion, and master of his art, remains the greatest jockey produced in this country and with the Cape jockey ranks looking thin on the experience front, his presence will be welcomed by punters.
Dazzling
Strydom was aboard when It’s My Turn produced that dazzling
late finish from near last to beat Brazuca and Marinaresco to win the Investec Cape Derby two months short of a year ago. Returning from a break of almost five months, the son of Dynasty will have bigger fish to fry in the next few weeks, with the Sun Met his obvious target. Snaith has 4 of the 7 runners in the 1500m Allowance Plate, which includes Gr3 Byerley Turk winner Heartland and Brett Crawford star, Whiskey Baron, who was runnerup to Champions Cup winner
Marinaresco in the Winter Guineas and the Winter Classic last term. It’s My Turn has not seen action since running an excellent fourth in the Vodacom Durban July behind The Conglomerate. Prior to that he was only beaten a quarter length by Rabada in the Gr1 Daily News 2000. Although he won his first start over 1300m, he will likely find the 1500m on the short side – but the cream always rises to the top and it would not surprise us to see him crack another win.
