ALLOWANCE PLATE at Kenilworth on Tuesday
The R5 million Gr1 Sun Met betting was published this week and the big race fever is set to build to Saturday 28 January. Four entrants for the Cape flagship bump heads in a quality Allowance Plate at Kenilworth on Tuesday.
T
he 2015 Cape Guineas runner-up Brazuca, presently at 25-1 in the Met betting, looks slung in at the weights in the six horse field 1800m event. The high-class Australian-bred son of Teofilo went on to chase It’s My Turn home in the Investec Cape Derby, before excellent placed efforts in
all of the Gauteng Guineas, SA Classic and Premier’s Champions Challenge – the last mentioned behind SA Horse Of The Year, Legal Eagle. His first start as a 4yo – after a seven month break – saw him beat Danza at the Vaal, after being up with the action for much of the race. His form is thus close to impeccable and his programme into the Met takes the next lowkey step on Tuesday.
Mambo Maybe?
He meets Dean Kannemeyer’s highly regarded Gr3 Byerley Turk winner Mambo Mime at level weights. The son of Mambo In Seattle is quoted at 50-1 in the Met betting and has had one race this term. He finished well back in the Cape Merchants, having his first run since a 3,85 length finish
to The Conglomerate in the Vodacom Durban July. Mambo Mime was out of action for a lengthy period with a ‘unique’ ailment – he was down with deep vein thrombosis. Dean Kannemeyer labelled him a serious Met candidate early on and having nursed him back slowly, the leading trainer will be looking for him to up his game here. Cont. p.2
