Karl Neisius<\/a> was very pleased with Capetown Noir\u2019s workout at Clairwood yesterday. During this workout he did some \u201cnice pace work\u201d.<\/p>\n

Neisius has to negotiate a wide draw of 15, but his only win in the country\u2019s premier race was from draw 20 in 1991 on Flaming Rock.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cIt\u2019s very hard to work out a specific plan from a wide draw as it all depends on what is going on around you, but I am definitely not going to be chasing him up the hill (the back straight has an often underestimated incline up to the first turn).<\/p>\n

Some horses can do that, but he will only be up there if he can do it comfortably.\u201d<\/p>\n

Capetown Noir<\/a> is the joint-highest merit rated three-year-old in the race and will receive 5kg from the top weight Pomodoro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trainer, Dean Kannemeyer<\/a>, has won the July twice, with the great Dynasty in 2003 and with Eyeofthetiger in 2006, both three-year-olds.<\/p>\n

He reckoned his charge this year was a \u201cfit horse.\u201d<\/p>\n
