What an interesting J&B Met field this year!

What an interesting J&B Met field this year!
The wonder filly IGUGU from the esteemed MICHAEL DE KOCK yard would no doubt have been a PENALTY KICK if not for a setback or two en route to Cape Town a few weeks back, so she HAS NOT had the greatest prep for the race, yet remains a FIRM favourite, with the bookies and public.
If she’s anywhere near her best however, she WON’T BE BEATEN!

Looking past her, THE APACHE looks a serious threat. An express finisher, he should take to the Kenilworth track like a duck to water, and WILL be in the final shake-up.

Vaughn Marshall’s ultra-consistent TALES OF BRAVERY ran an impossible race in the Queen’s Plate, coming from the clouds to 3rd and looks a SHOE-IN for a place, but has drawn badly.

The best outsider is BEACH BEAUTY, who at the weights could see the fillies finish 1-2 in the race. She was 50/1 at one stage, but is now 12/1 and a BIG threat!

Queen’s Plate winner GIMMETHEGREENLIGHT is a classy 3yr old who will have to prove this trip is his chop – but will be running at them at the finish, and has a chance.

THESE, are the chief protagonists, in my humble opinion…
