Unbeaten runners top boards for the two Cape features

Jack Milner

Racing returns to Kenilworth in the Western Cape on Saturday and it will be welcomed back with the running of two features races – the R400,000 Western Cape Fillies Championship (Grade 2) (for threeyear-old fillies) and the R250,000 Cape Classic (Grade 3) (for threeyear-olds). Both races are run over 1400m and for the next few weeks, racing will continue on the Winter track.

Unbeaten Front And Centre from the Brett Crawford yard has been priced up favourite at 19-10 to win this race and while this daughter of Dynasty has won both her races with style, she will be taking on some stronger opposition on this occasion.

She will also have to overcome No 10 draw but has the services of Anton Marcus and that should assist her.

Clouds Unfold, a daughter of What A Winter, hails from the Candice Bass-Robinson yard and has won three of her four starts. She has yet to prove she stays 1400m but on breeding she should see it out.

However, she has not raced since winning the Cape Nursery in June and could be in need of an outing.

The same applies to Temple Grafin who won The Debutante (Grade 3) in his last start but that was at Greyville in July.

Pleasedtomeetyou from the Andre Nel yard has been priced up the 28-10 favourite to win the Cape Classic. He has also won two from two but is another taking on stronger this time, although at least we know he is fit. Greg Cheyne takes the ride.

Clouded Hill from the Justin Snaith yard is at 11-2 and Marcus is aboard.

Snaith-trained Magnificent Seven is a 8-10 shot to win the Listed G-BETS Algoa Cup over 2000m at Fairview on Sunday. Richard Fourie rides and they have the advantage of jumping from barrier No 1. BETTING
