Aldo Domeyer could be in for a bonanza at Kenilworth tomorrow when five of his eight mounts are favourites.

Twice last year he rode six winners at the Cape Town course and, while that would be pushing it, he could win on all five market leaders. He starts off with his best – and shortest-priced – prospect, More Magic, who had the third nearly eight lengths back when running better fancied stable companion Russet Air close a fortnight ago. None of the opposition in the Maiden Juvenile Plate has done anything like that.

The opposition is also short of achievement 35 minutes later but Domeyer is on a newcomer, the Trippi filly Bella Summer.  “She is a nice filly but not very ready. It depends how green she is,” says Candice Bass-Robinson but, with the stable’s two-year-olds so strong this season and no Ramsden or Marshall opposition, the 5-2 chance gets preference over the Justin Snaith 15-10 favourite Valderrama whose form so far is nothing to get excited about it.

After Glow, Domeyer’s mount in race three, is 11-10 favourite with World Sports Betting and that looks too short for what she showed on her Durbanville debut. However Domeyer’s mounts for Adam Marcus often deliver and she may have come on enough.

Some shrewd punters have done well betting against Snaith two-year-olds this season but Domeyer hasn’t ridden many of them and in the 1 400m maiden (race four) 3-1 favourite Black Indy holds obvious danger Black Sail, Red Shift and Giant Flag. Seattle Kid could be a big threat.

What A Summer (9-2) looks a bit unlikely in the next where Spectra Force is taken to come out on top.  Greg Cheyne’s mount has finished second in his last three starts and this is the third consecutive race in which he is running off the same mark.

Two-year-olds take on the older horses in handicaps for the first time in Cape Town this season in the Supabets Handicap and Joey Ramsden aims to strike with 22-10 shot Montego Bay. But, if things are going well for Domeyer by this stage, that relentless – seemingly unstoppable – driving may well be enough to get Dalibhunga home in front.

However Pen-Chan is only a 10-1 shot in the Interbet Handicap and the Ramsden juvenile Tarsus (3-1) may beat 5-2 favourite Bwana.

The last race, though, looks another for the jockey of the hour as 22-10 favourite Elegancia has not been raised for last time’s close second.
