Here are some comments from the connections – the preview is at the end – enjoy!
See It Again: “His condition is good. He’s fresh and he’s in good form. I’m not concerned about draw 7 as he’s a horse who comes from behind” – Michael Roberts.
Without Question: “He’s in very good form at home. Everything has gone to plan” – Justin Snaith.
Cousin Casey: “ This is our race for the taking. This is the one I would really like to win. This is the first time he has cracked a draw”- Glen Kotzen. “I’m hoping he’ll bring his A-game to the course, and I hope Kotzen also brings his A-game, ‘cos I’ll be bringing mine” – Grant van Niekerk.
Dave The King: “He’s not won past 1200m and goes the 2000 for the first time” – Racing News.
Son Of Raj: “I think draw 8 is not a bad draw. He’s obviously the type of horse that will come off them”, Weiho Marwing. “I managed to gallop him. What a smashing horse. Galloped amazingly.” – Muzi Yeni.
Shoemaker: “Found confidence again with a win in his last. Jumps from widest stallgate. Aldo Domeyer rides him for the first time” – Racing News
East Coast: “In Joburg he was sick in all 3 legs of those races, and I think wasn’t himself. His last run was eye-catching” – Keagan de Melo.
Anfields Rocket: “He’s going to wear blinkers for the first time, just to help him concentrate … and get into the race more. He’s won a tough 1800m at Turffontein and should get an easy 10 furlong at Hollywoodbets Greyville” – Anthony Delpech.
Street Art: “He’s improved a lot. Whether he’s up to this class at this stage is yet to be seen” – Tony Peter.
River Romeo: “He’s a natural frontrunner, having gone to the head of affairs in 4 of his 6 starts to date. Could very likely make the pace”- Racing News.
