Adam Marcus is calling on Uncle Anton in a bid to restore Brave Move to her old form in the Selangor Jet Master Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday.
The mare won six in a row last season, including the Ladies Mile and the Final Fling and went up in the ratings from 74 to 107. Yet in three outings this term she has failed to finish closer than fourth and an abnormal blood count ruled her out of the Majorca.
Her trainer said: “I was expecting bigger things this season – the way she was winning last year I thought she wasn’t going to stop – but she is in good form and I am hoping we can get her back on track. She was drawn off the course in the Prix Du Cap so we are going for the Jet Master with her.”
Brave Move was 9-2 second favourite when World Sports Betting posted up its prices yesterday. The Dean Kannemeyer-trained Silva’s Bullet, odds-on when winning a graduation at the end of last year, heads the market at 7-2.
Cape Flying Championship winner Kasimir is 2-1 favourite to follow up in the Khaya Stables Diadem Stakes and Rose In Bloom is 28-10 favourite to give Joey Ramsden his sixth Vasco Prix Du Cap in 15 seasons.
