Legal Counsel to defend Cape Mile title

There is great racing on offer at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday and heading up the card are the Grade 2 Western Cape Fillies Championship over 1400m at the Grade 3 Cape Mile over 1600m.

Last season’s Equus Champion Two-Year-Old Filly, Palace Of Arvernia, makes her seasonal debut in this race with the Grade 1 Cape Fillies Guineas as her ultimate target, but Dean Kannemeyer’s charge will be having her first run since winning the Grade 2 Debutante over 1200m at HWB Greyville in July.

Zackey will be back aboard the Vercingetorix filly and they will jump from gate No 5.

She is the runner to beat but if she does turn out to need the run, it could be worth including Candice Bass-trained Dream Trip who looks to be something special.

The Cape Mile (Race 4) sees the return of See It Again who will be reunited with Andrew Fortune, as well as Hollywoodbets Durban July winner Note To Self.

It does look an exciting race but both could find themselves overshadowed by stable companion Legal Counsel, who will be back defending the crown he won last year. The five-year-old Legislate gelding is ideally suited to the trip, has already had one excellent warm-up race in the Grade 3 Matchem Stakes, and will have Fourie in the irons.
