Dennis Drier has had a winner at each of the last three Kenilworth meetings and his Mayfair Speculators runner Lloyd’s Legacy looks worth waiting for in the last at tomorrow’s Cape Town meeting.

This Australian-bred was Drier’s first runner of the Cape season a fortnight ago and, starting second favourite, he raced prominently to take third to the much more experienced Glorious Goodwood. He is sure to have come on a fair bit from that. He was reported by the course vet to have made an “abnormal respiratory noise” (often meaning a wind problem) that day but it didn’t stop him and it  is unlikely to this time either.

Donovan Dillon again has the mount while Sean Veale, who has ridden all three of the Drier Kenilworth winners, has been snapped up by Justin Snaith for obvious danger Gstaad who has similar once-raced credentials.

But he raced green and came from a long way back to take third to favourite Moonbird over this trip at Durbanville a month ago. Another to note here is Loadshedder who would have finished closer than fourth on his debut had he not been bumped leaving the pens.

The sahorseracing computer has Lloyd’s Legacy running out a comfortable winner with Gstaad second and Loadshedder third while it expects Broder Control to take the opening 1 400m maiden. Brett Crawford’s runner is the obvious chance on form and there seems no logical reason why he should not confirm the placings with My Word My Bond and Whitelight Warrior. They had experience in their favour last time but that does not apply now and Corne Orffer’s mount should be able to cope with his seven draw.

Oh Behave has claims, or rather he would have had he not such a wide draw. Mini Loushe, drawn on the fence, showed significant improvement at Durbanville last time despite getting worked up in the pens.

William The Brave has had four decent runs and looks a cut above the opposition in the Racing Association Maiden. Dillon’s mount probably has most to fear from his own stable companion Paddington whose third to Royal Ginger over 400m less at Durbanville suggested there are better things to come.

Whispering Light is the forecast favourite in the preceding 1 400m maiden but Big Bang Theory has more scope for improvement and looks another for the in-form Crawford team.

BLOB Michael Clower’s last four selections have produced three winners including Horizon (4-1) and Table Bay (3-1). The fourth tip was second.
