Unlike the colts’ equivalent, the 2024 R1,25 million World Sports Betting Cape Fillies only attracted one ‘away’ candidate when first entries closed on Monday.
The last visitor to grab top honours in the Cape Fillies Guineas dates back a decade when Anthony Delpech steered Redoute’s Choice daughter Majmu to victory in the then Avontuur-sponsored contest.

The thirteen strong entry for the historic fillies classic to be run at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday 7 December includes Alan Greeff’s East Cape Champion 2yo filly of last term Splicethemainbrace, a recent Fairview winner, and winner of 7 of her 8 starts.
The Varsfontein-bred daughter of Master Of My Fate is raced by the ASSM Racing Syndicate and could be a serious contender with Piere Strydom a possible engagement with Richard Fourie set to partner impressive recent Gr2 Western Cape Fillies Championship winner Mon Petit Cherie. Brett Crawford and the Ridgemont team won’t be complaining about the 2 gate for the daughter of Rafeef.
