Zubbadubbadoo bids to make it five in a row in the Racing.It’s A Rush Handicap at Kenilworth tomorrow and the handicappers have given him a chance of doing so.

They only raised him 1.5kg for last time’s half-length defeat of Captain Blackwater. Normally a horse that keeps winning can expect more and Corne Orffer’s mount has won all except the first of his five starts.

“When a horse is on a winning streak you always wonder if it is going to come to an end,” says Brett Crawford. “But he had been on a break before his last win so I think he needed it a bit and he is such an honest horse that it wouldn’t surprise me if he won again.”

Captain Blackwater is the obvious danger on 1.5kg better terms, particularly as he wasn’t raised for finishing second, but Global Destiny has place prospects at a better price. He went close last Saturday and Paddy Kruyer comments: “He went so well, and took the race so well, that I have decided to run him again.”

Langerman winner Ready To Attack is the name horse on the card and makes his handicap debut in the Mother City Handicap. Justin Snaith says: “I am running him here because we’ve got six weeks of racing at Durbanville coming up and I don’t want to run him there.”

However the 1 500m Langerman win was a significant improvement on what the colt had shown over this 1 200m on his previous start and Crawford’s Blow Me Away makes more appeal.

Vaughan Marshall sent out another three winners on Wednesday to take his tally to 11 at the last five Cape Town meetings and he can strike again with Twenty Four Carat in the first. Show Stealer looks a danger but don’t leave out Bold Aspen just because of last time’s flop.

“I can’t understand that run – and he pulled up sound – but he does everything too early at home so I want him to get cover here,” says Mike Robinson. “I am bringing him back to five furlongs which may also help.”

There is precious little to choose between Storm Front and Even Better in the All To Come Maiden and both have terrible draws. Storm Front gave away valuable ground at the start last time and so Marshall’s colt gets marginal preference.

Beautiful Bird proved expensive when odds-on at Durbanville – the course vet could find nothing wrong – and it could pay to give her another chance in the Place Your Bets Maiden.
