CAPTAIN'S RANSOM
Jack Milner: Trainer Candice Bass-Robinson is on the mark when she says the Grade 1 Cartier Paddock Stakes over 1800m at Kenilworth on Saturday is the strongest line-up seen for some time.
JUSTIN SNAITH
Danie Toerien: Only two three-year-olds, both trained by Justin Snaith, have won the Grade 1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate since the turn of the millennium – Gimmethegreenlight in 2012 and Jet Dark in 2021.
GRANT VAN NIEKERK
Gimme Dat was handed the Grade 2 Cartier Sceptre Stakes in the boardroom at Kenilworth on Friday after first-past-the-post Mercury Rising was declared a non-runner.
KOMMETDIEDING
Jack Milner: When interviewing trainers prior to a race one always asks which runners they view as the main threat.
SEAN TARRY
Danie Toerien: It is somewhat surprising that multiple champion trainer Sean Tarry has only one runner in the two-day L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Racing Festival, at Kenilworth this weekend.
