Sansui Summer Cup Log

Racing. It's a Rush: PRESS RELEASE
Subject: MAC DE LAGO HEADS UP HANDICAPPER’S LOG FOR GAUTENG SANSUI SUMMER CUP
Date: NOVEMBER 9, 2016
There have been a few big changes to the complexion of the Handicapper’s Log for the Gauteng SANSUI Summer Cup with the latest version revealing a number of high-profile withdrawals from the field for the Group One showpiece at Turffontein Racecourse on 26 November.
The scratching of Abashiri, the hero of the SA Triple Crown last season, means that Mac De Lago now heads the weights thanks to a merit rating of 114 while the remainder of the top five includes The Conglomerate, Judicial, Saratoga Dancer and Deo Juvente.
The last two horses mentioned made strong claims after finishing second and third respectively in the Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile (Gr 2) on the weekend.
Meanwhile the winner of that contest, New Predator, has been withdrawn from this year’s field while all of Rabada, Cape Speed, Brooklyn Brawler, Negroamaro, Crowd Pleaser, Cagiva and Fort Meyers have also been scratched.
As it stands, St Tropez fills the 20th and final spot for the R2-million contest with The Centenary and Irish Pride, one of five acceptors at this stage, only marginally ahead. The other acceptors all come from the stable of Geoff Woodruff with Gavin Lerena booked for Master Sabina and Anthony Delpech set to ride Master Switch at this stage.
Tickets for the Gauteng SANSUI Summer Cup are on sale through Computicket and start at R75. The Sound Experience, which features hip-hop sensation Kwesta as the headliner, is set to ensure a festive experience while ticket holders will earn free entry into the official afterparty at Harem nightclub in Rosebank after a fantastic day’s racing.

My original fancy St Tropez did not run up as expected in the Charity Turf - tries blinkers this coming Saturday, but realistically another flop could see him miss the final field 
So now I think the value at 33/1 lies with Master Switch, already an acceptor and if Delpech stays with him, he could be a big runner imo
