Roccapina – worth including today (Pic – Chase Liebenberg)

Roccapina from the Candice Bass-Robinson stable takes her place in the Grade 3 Dennis Drier Poinsettia Stakes.

She should have finished closer to the winner in the Gr3 SplashOut Prix Du Cap last time.

She ran a cracker when third in the Gr1 Maine Chance Farms Majorca Stakes in her penultimate run.

The daughter of One World has plenty of class about her and Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Raymond Danielson may be able to get the best out of her where it matters most.

Hollywoodbets-sponsored Trainer Peter Muscutt sends out Bristol Hercules in the lucky last.

He was running on when third over 1600m on this course last time. He returns from a 15-week break, during which time he changed stables. He has also been gelded.

He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this course and distance. Ridgemont-sponsored Jockey Richard Fourie is booked to ride and if fit, he may be the one to beat.

Race: 2 No: 7 ICY ELEANOR had a 358 day break due to being given time off to mature.

Race: 3 No: 7 HUNTERS ARROW had a 302 day break due to recovering from a knee injury.

Race: 3 No: 11 ELI’S CHARIOT had a 284 day break due to recovering from a tendon injury.

An Eastern Cape Dynasty – Good Greeff, Alan!

Ironically, it was a colt which provided Alan with a first Gr1 success, this being Alec and Gillian Foster’s homebred Cereus, who landed the 2001 Gold Cup at Hollywoodbets Greyville, his victory completing a momentous double on the day, with the Gr2 Golden Slipper having gone the way of juvenile filly Tatler, a great-great-great grandaughter of Sun Lass!
