Brilliant Cut wins the Langerman
MICHAEL CLOWER

Brilliant Cut gave weight all round to thwart a wholesale gamble on Dead Cert in the Betting World Langerman at Kenilworth yesterday.
Dead Cert was backed from 5-1 to 19-10 favourite, and those who plunged on him were just beginning to calculate their winnings when MJ Byleveld pounced on Rhoan Gardiner’s gelding to win by a head.
Byleveld, who reached his century with a treble at Fairview on Friday, said: “It wasn’t really a true-run race and I was able to outsprint them.”
The win was a triumph for Vaughan Marshall who has campaigned the Gavin Schafer-bred Kabool gelding boldly to win four of his last five starts.
“He will now have a rest,” said the Milnerton trainer who was also on the mark with the Marco Latorre-ridden Tight Lines in the 1 000m handicap (race four). “We’ve got to consider him (Brilliant Cut) a Cape Guineas contender after this.”
Emerald Cove led throughout the Betting World Irridescence Stakes, and Ken Truter and Jim Russell’s Klawervlei-bred Captain Al filly has now won her last three. But Justin Snaith’s immediate reaction was one of disappointment with Richard Fourie’s mount.
He said: “I thought she would win easier than that. Maybe she got a bit lost in front.”
Aussitot sprang a 40-1 shock under Jessen Vyapooree in the Juvenile Fillies Maiden (race two) and apparently it was no coincidence that she was the only one to come up the stands side.
“I trained at Kenilworth for 12 years, I found that the going on this side was always faster and so I insisted that Jessen went hard up the stands rails,” said trainer John McDonald who was overdue this success. “I’ve had a lean time and this was my first success for 18 months.”
Johfre Simon and Bathandwa Sonamzi had their first winner when the Stan Elley-trained Megapixel made all under Morne Winnaar in the opening two-year-old maiden.
Mike Bass landed both divisions of the 1 800m handicap with Rupert Plersch’s Alma Guerreira (Karl Neisius) and Sue McKenzie’s Splinter (Gareth Wright).
Glen Kotzen, shopping for more ammunition in Australia, followed up Imperious Star’s big win by taking the seven furlong maiden with Fred Crabbia’s Mantosh, yet another for Byleveld.
