Hawwaam, One World head up entries for G1 Cape Guineas
BOTH RUNNERS ARE UNBEATEN BUT HAVE LANDED WIDE DRAWS FOR R1M RACE Fillies Guineas run on same day for the first time.
It’s the North versus South match-up everybody is talking about – Hawwaam against One World. Both are unbeaten and both are being talked about as superstars. The pair have been entered to run in the Grade 1 Cape Guineas on Saturday 15 December, in what promises to be an exhilarating event.
Vaughan Marshall-trained One World is unbeaten in five starts and has shown tremendous courage in his last two especially, when he looked beaten. Mike de Kock trains Hawwaam who has only raced twice for two wins. His first was in the muchpublicised no-whip race and the second was in the Grade 2 Dingaans.
In the latter, dropped out from a bad draw, he cut a swathe through the field to win by 3.40 lengths.
Both, however, have pulled wide draws – No 11 for One World and No 14 for Hawwaam.
It certainly doesn’t end there as Chimichuri Run, Soqrat, Twist Of Fate, Van Halen and Cirillo have all shown top-class ability, while Majestic Mozart has huge scope for further improvement.
The WSB Fillies Guineas could be more of a straight shootout, where Candice Bass-Robinson’s proven class act Clouds Unfold faces off against Brett Crawford’s Front And Centre, who is yet to face a serious challenge in her three starts.
Gauteng raiders Celtic Sea, Ghaalla and Dagmar are others to consider, as well as Temple Grafin.
There are two other Graded other features on a fine day of top racing. The Grade 2 Premier Trophy over 1800m is an established lead-up race for the Sun Met.
The Grade 3 Victress Stakes is over the same trip for females, and last year’s Sun Met heroine, Oh Susanna, is a notable entry.
