A projected R2,5 million Pick 6 pool at Scottsville today could have punters looking for some mid month cash flow relief and Dean Kannemeyer could hold the key with a likely banker in the opening leg.
Redcarpet Captain – first run for new yard
The exotic opens at 14h15 in the fourth race and course-and-distance winner Summer Sky could give the Delpech- Kannemeyer combo an overdue winner.
A drop in class and his first run back fresh after an 11 week break (although the Kannemeyer runners appear to be needing their post-August break runs) could be the recipe.
Having his first run for the Mark Dixon yard, Redcarpet Captain steps up in trip and is the best weighted runner. He makes some appeal and appeared to enjoy the blinkers last time.
In the second leg, Anton Marcus partners the Sporting Post Top Bet for the day in the shape of Lloyd’s Legacy. The Dennis Drier trained Aussie bred 4yo is an impressive course and distance winner.
