Snaith to quote the right Verse at Durbanville

Jack Milner

Oh Susanna surely holds a special place in trainer Justin Snaith’s heart as in 2018 she provided him with his first Cape Town Met winner.

Since then, he has gone on to win the Western Cape’s premier horserace on three further occasions, but Snaith has kept close to the mare and is now closely connected with her progeny. Verse For Suzanne lines up in Race 2 and Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Sunday, a Maiden Plate for fillies and mares over 1400m and after a promising debut performance, she should be ready to win.

She made her debut on 25 July in a Maiden Juvenile Plate over 1250m at Durbanville and after a slow start, she produced the fastest time for the final 400m to go down just 0.80 lengths behind Merriment.

The manner of her victory indicates that this daughter on Vercingetorix should be even better over 1400m and she stands out as the best bet on the nine-race card.

Richard Fourie rode her on debut and he has stuck with her for this race and the fact she is perfectly drawn in gate No 2, she should have no problem getting out of the maidens.
