The draws and final field announcement for the R2,5 million CTS Lanzerac Ready To Run Stakes was hosted at a function at the magnificent Lanzerac Hotel in Stellenbosch on Thursday.
Dennis Drier trained Seventh Plain, an exciting multiple Gr1 winning son of Seventh Rock, headed the race log throughout, but had the awful luck of drawing an 18 barrier gate.While the Gr2 Choice Carriers Championship winner Silver Mountain proved last Saturday that wide draws can be overcome, the connections of Seventh Plain will not be thrilled.
Anton Marcus retains the ride and goes for his fourth successive win on the Klawervlei bred colt.
SA Champion trainer Sean Tarry travels with recent Gr3 Graham Beck Stakes runner-up Liege, a handsome son of Dynasty, who gets thrown in the deep end from a 14 draw at his first Cape outing.
Veteran trainer Ronnie Sheehan will be smiling after he drew 2 for the Gr3 Cape Of Good Hope Nursery winner, Captain Chaos. Andrew Fortune is a strategic jockey booking for the son of Captain Al, who ran below par in the Gr3 Magnum Cape Classic last time.
