There have been concerns all week that the star daughter of Captain Al may not run, unless ‘everything was 100% right’ in the words of her SA Champion trainer..
This cautionary arose from a below-par run on Hollywoodbets Durban July day in the Brentford FC Garden Province Stakes, after she was apparently put on edge by the on-course fireworks. She ran fourth.
Jono Snaith told the Sporting Post on Friday afternoon that Captain’s Ransom ‘is a runner’ and that she is ‘flying’.
Captain’s Ransom is priced at 2,27-1 with Hollywoodbets.
