The strong stable of Cape Town trainer Justin Snaith looks ready to win some more of the Eastern Cape’s big races.
He will saddle the favourites in both Listed Races at Friday’s meeting at Fairview – Count To Ten in die Breeders Guineas for three-year-old fillies over 1 600m and Lunar Moon in die East Cape Fillies Nursery for two-year-old Fillies over 1 200m.
Snaith won these races last year and is bringing jockey Bernard Fayd’Herbe to PE to make sure of victory. Snaith has already won the Ibhayi Stakes and Lady’s Pendant this month in Port Elizabeth.
There are factors in the two big races that give the other stables a bit of hope. Count to Ten has not race for more than three months and has a wide draw to overcome.
Count to Ten has a capable stable mate in Valor Red but Tudor Star (Tara Laing) looks like the biggest danger.
If at their best, Deepo and The Magic Kingdom can challenge.
Trainer Alan Greeff has two very promising runners in the race for two-year-old fillies that can give Lunar Moon a go. Winter Fantasy and Yoshie will have lots of support.
