The Gr1 Cape Guineas raceday has dawned under beautiful blue skies – and there is an estimated Pick 6 pool of R4 million to be won!
There are two other feature races on the quality card, including the Gr 3 Cape Racing Victress Stakes and the Gr2 Cape Racing Peninsula Handicap.
The first race is off at 13h20.

Jimmy The Rich writes that Missisippi Burning from the Adam Marcus stable is the best bet on the card in the fifth, the Victress Stakes.
She was carded to race last week Saturday, but was scratched due to being under veterinary treatment.
She ran a good race when finishing fourth behind Clouds Unfold over a distance short of her best, four weeks ago.
The daughter of Captain Al will love the step up to the nine furlongs and she should be at peak fitness.
Candice Bass-Robinson sends out Sovereign Spirit in the Peninsula Handicap. He finished two lengths behind Nexus last time.
He is 3kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned.
The 5yo gelding should strip much fitter this afternoon and may be the one to side with.
The new course false rail is 2m out from the 1800m mark, with a 5m spur at the 600m mark.
- The Bipot starts in the second at 13h55
