Justin Snaith said: “Jet Explorer runs in the 1 400m Pinnacle at Kenilworth and it would be good to see him have a safe race. He is working nicely but Readytogorightnow is the one of mine in that race who is more ready.”

Dean Kannemeyer has a number of his stars in this Pinnacle Stakes including Capetown Noir, fellow Grade 1 scorer Afrikaburn and Power King who won both the Winter Guineas and Classic last season. But none of the three is certain to line-up.

Kannemeyer said: “Capetown Noir is doing very well. I am having a look at the race and will decide on Monday but I think I am going to run him in the Cape Merchants on 16 November.

“I am setting up Afrikaburn for the Selangor Cup on 22 November and the Grand Parade Cape Guineas four weeks later but I will see about Power King.”

Last season’s leading Cape-based two-year-old Kingvoldt returns on Saturday but not in the Cape Classic in which he has a whopping 6.5kg penalty. He was to have run in the Kuda Matchem but had a throat infection.

Joey Ramsden said: “Kingvoldt is doing fantastically well and runs in the 1 100m Mr Brooks Pinnacle. Act Of War (winner of the Langerman) runs in the Classic and maybe Prince Of Eden will too.”

Last season’s Selangor winner De Kock, who bounced back from a fractured knee to win a sprint last month, will be among those in opposition to Kingvoldt. Brett Crawford said: “Corne Orffer again rides and after this De Kock goes for the Merchants and the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate.”
