Emperors Palace Charity Mile winner Mujaarib, unbeaten in four starts, has been given 52.5kg to carry for the Summer Cup
Weights and entries for the R2-million Sansui Summer Cup
Hawker Hunter from the Ormond Ferraris yard was the only runner supplemented into the R2-million Sansui Summer Cup to be run over 2000m at Turffontein Racecourse on Saturday 1 December. However, two runners were also pulled out of the race. Trainers Sean Tarry and Justin Snaith withdrew Heavy Metal and Jet Explorer respectively, leaving 60 nominations for the Grade 1 event.
Five-year-old mare Hawker Hunter has had two disappointing runs since coming back from a rest but prior to that she won the Grade 2 Gerald Rosenberg Stakes, beating Berry Blaze by 0.50 lengths.
The weights were also announced on Monday and Gavin van Zyl-trained Seal has been allocated top weight of 60kg. Chesalon and Smanjemanje, who finished third and second respectively in this year’s Vodacom Durban July, are down to carry 59kg and 58.5kg.
Trainer Mike de Kock, who has 20 runners nominated for the Summer Cup, will be delighted that Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile winner Mujaarib, who is now unbeaten in four starts, has been given 52.5kg to carry. He received a 2kg penalty for Saturday’s 0.10-length victory over Whiteline Fever and is likely to carry just 0.5kg more.
De Kock confirmed on Saturday the Summer Cup was to be his next race and that the Australian-bred four-year-old would be pulled out of the Grade 2 Victory Moon Stakes over 1800m at Turffontein on Friday 16 November.
One of De Kock’s other runner, Silver Flyer, who ran a two-length fourth behind Mujaarib, could meet his stable companion on 2kg better terms in the Summer Cup. Second-placed Whiteline Fever received a 1kg penalty for his effort in the Charity Mile has been allocated 58kg for the Summer Cup, 0.5kg less than he carried on Saturday. That puts him 1kg better off with Mujaarib but 1kg worse off with Silver Flyer.
