The Kaapse Klopse Voorsmakie raceday brings us an exciting nine-race programme at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth this afternoon featuring the Hollywoodbets Gr1 Cape Guineas as the headliner of the day.
There are five feature races on this card with the first race due off at 12h20 and a R1 million Pick 6 carryover with a likely pool of R4 million.
Vaughan Marshall’s One Stripe aims to continue a proud Cape Guineas tradition for the top yard (Pic – Chase Liebenberg)
One Stripe from the Vaughan Marshall stable takes his place in the Hollywoodbets Gr1 Cape Guineas and he is the best bet on the card.
He won a good race in the Gr2 Cape Punters Cup last time. The way he quickened up and won going away was eye-catching.
The son of One World jumps from pole position and should take a power of beating.
Hollywoodbets-sponsored Brett and James Crawford send out Infrared in Race 8. He finished 1.55 lengths behind Triple Time last time.
He is 6kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The way he finishes off his races suggests that he will love the rise to 1800m.
He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from the widest draw and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
