Entries KRA Guineas Day- great days racing ahead

@ Hibs hahaha. Just sharing my perceived value.

IMO huge value with Arcetri Pink and some with Legislate.

The three reserve runners in the Fillies Guineas are skewing the basis and now I will have to wait until Saturday to place my requests grrrrr. (Is this going to be the norm for Greyville - carding three reserve runners?). Assuming the reserve runners are scratched then not only is In The Fast Lane a nap bet for me but a nap bet with big value.

Master of my fate scratched. Pulled tendon!(td)

Thanks Craig, for my CTC entry and my ignorance, how long does a pulled tendon take to heal?

If I can get better than 2/1 captain america will banker in everything, I read justin snaith took 2 horses to greyville to gallop in the fast lane and varikate, worth a small double I know varikate is out at the weights but fourie riding varikate instead of agra :S

Shrek I don't know how damaged it is but I doubt they would take any chances unless it is 100% again and that would probably mean he wont run again this season. It all depends how much damage there is.

Thanks Craig, appreciate it. (tu)

Thanks for the update Craig.It`s nice to know someone In The Fast Lane.Appreciated.

Justin Snaith said that his star filly In The Fast Lane had been doing very well and reckoned it would take a “smart filly” to beat her in Saturday’s Gr 2 KRA Fillies Guineas, where she has drawn in pole position.

In other important Champions Season news he revealed that Run For It had put up a sparkling bit of work under Kevin Shea at Clairwood and contrary to his earlier opinion he now believes this horse will be ready in time for the Vodacom Durban July, in which he finished second last year.

On Saturday Snaith also has the Gr 1 Investec Cape Derby winner Legislate in the Gr 2 KRA Guineas, while last year’s Gr 2 Betting World 1900 winner Jet Explorer will have his Champions Season pipe opener in the Gr 2 Drill Hall Stakes over 1400m.

In The Fast Lane worked at Greyville last Thursday and seeing the course beforehand will always be of benefit to a horse’s chances, so she looks primed to deliver.

Snaith said, “Her last run in the Majorca can be ignored as we tried placing her handy and she got caught three wide. It was a disaster. If you take that run away, her form is very strong. She has been doing well in Durban. Her British owners will be flying out to watch the race.”

Legislate has also drawn well in the KRA Guineas and Snaith said, “It is a bit on the short side for him and it is a preparation for the Daily News 2000, but he could surprise. Captain America is the horse to beat, but I want Legislate running on and showing that he will be very competitive in the Daily News.”

Jet Explorer is having his first outing since the J&B Met and Snaith said it would be a preparation run and that from his wide draw he would have to be dropped out.

The yard also runs Agra and Varikate in a 1000m Conditions Plate for fillies and mares.

He said, “Agra only arrived in Durban last week because our boxes weren’t ready, so Varikate has had a lot better preparation, despite being laid off after an injury last Summer. Agra is sound and very fast and this is her pipe opener for the SA Fillies Sprint. She hasn’t raced since December as there was nothing for her. She has never raced on a turn before, so it will be interesting. Varikate worked at Greyville last week and looked around at everything. She is out at the weights, but could surprise.”

Meanwhile, the yard’s impressive Umkhomazi Stakes winner Harry Lime has come out of the race well and is on track for the Gr 1 Tsogo Sun Medallion at Scottsville on May 24.

Unfortunately one of his chief July contenders Readytogorightnow was eliminated from the Drill Hall and he is now looking at a Pinnacle race on May 18 and the Cup Trial as his qualifying route.

Summerveld’s longest standing trainer Alistair Gordon runs the Argonaut gelding Copybook in Saturday’s KRA Guineas at Greyville and is happy with his wellbeing.

He said, “He’s never been a great track horse, so it is hard to gauge on his work how good he is, but he put up a nice preparation gallop at Summerveld and I am very happy with him. He has come on nicely from his last race.”

Copybook finished a 1,25 length second last time out in the Byerley Turk over 1400m at Scottsville and on Saturday will be 4kg worse off with the winner of that race, Chestnut’s Rocket. However, that was his first outing since December 23 and he needed the run, so he could be the dark horse.
