Silver Mountain has been raised 3kgs for her five-length win in last Saturday’s World Sports Betting Cape Fillies Guineas putting her on a new merit rating of 111, writes Michael Clower.
She will receive 2.5kg when she takes on the colts and geldings in the Grand Parade Cape Guineas next Saturday and , in theory at any rate, she has two and a half lengths in hand of the highest-rated of them, Premiers Champion winner Rabada.
Candice Robinson said yesterday: “She took her race well and, although two weeks running is a big ask, at this stage she is a runner on Saturday week.”
The handicappers upped second-placed Our Destiny a whopping 10kg to 100 after using Taffety Tart (third on 99) as the line horse. Anglet (fourth) went up 3.5kg to 98 and Bela-Bela (fifth) the same amount to 97.
Anglet is to have a break and Paddy Kruyer explained: “She raced with odd front shoes after being reshod at the start and she jarred her joints.”
