Justin Snaith said: “I have nominated Legislate for the Cape Merchants on 16 November but at this stage it looks as if his first run will be in the Green Point Stakes six days later.”

The four-year-old is being aimed at the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and the J & B Met. Depending on how things go, he could then be on a plane to Mauritius to continue his career under Snaith’s care at Newmarket in Britain.

Fourie, off since the end of July, has taken only two mounts on Wednesday but rides in all eight races at Kenilworth on Saturday.
