A tough and competitive card at Kenilworth today includes the running of the Gr2 Western Cape Fillies Championship and Gr3 Cape Classic.
The first race on the card starts at 12h50 and the lucky last will close off proceedings at 17h30.
The Dean Kannemeyer stable send out Rex Union who competes in Race 5.
This great-looking son of Duke Of Marmalade caught the eye in his first run out of the maidens.
He was slow out of the starting stalls on that occasion, but the way he finished his off his race suggests that there is plenty more to come from this individual.
In-form Grant van Niekerk rides Rex Union (Pic – HKJC)
He jumps from an inside barrier position and will get all the necessary assistance with Grant van Niekerk in the irons.
The Justin Snaith camp send out Savannah Buddy who participates in Race 9. The son of Flower Alley made nice improvement last time with the cheek-pieces fitted.
He had to be steadied at the 800m mark that day, but stayed on positively at the business end. It must be noted that multiple winners have come out of that form line.
He is bred to enjoy the extra furlong on offer, jumps from an inside barrier and should take a power of beating in the lucky last.
The false rail is set at 1m out from 1700m with a 2m spur at 470m mark
