Saturday’s Turffontein winner, Sparkling Water, a stablemate to the favourite Malmoos, has edged up to 12th place from 14 and could be strong backup for the powerful Mike de Kock yard. However, two horses from the former champion trainer’s stable are still contenders, with Nebraas now in the top 20 and Seehaam moving into the “next five” category following his fifth place in the Steelrode Mile. Two defections from the Cup are Hoedspruit and Sean Tarry’s tough campaigner Tierra Del Fuego.
Many pundits will view the move as falling into the “optimistic” category and bookies appear to hold this view, quoting the former St John Gray inmate at 100-1.Ĭhristopher Robin won a grade 3 race last season and has a merit-rating of 111, so moves into 16th place in the latest Cup log issued by Phumelela. Gqeberha trainer Jacques Strydom has followed the adage “if you don’t have a ticket, you can’t collect” by supplementing Christopher Robin for the Gauteng Summer Cup at Turffontein on November 27.
