In other important Champions Season news he revealed that Run For It had put up a sparkling bit of work under Kevin Shea at Clairwood and contrary to his earlier opinion he now believes this horse will be ready in time for the Vodacom Durban July, in which he finished second last year.

On Saturday Snaith also has the Gr 1 Investec Cape Derby winner Legislate in the Gr 2 KRA Guineas, while last year’s Gr 2 Betting World 1900 winner Jet Explorer will have his Champions Season pipe opener in the Gr 2 Drill Hall Stakes over 1 400m.

In The Fast Lane worked at Greyville last Thursday and seeing the course beforehand will always be of benefit to a horse’s chances, so she looks primed to deliver.

Snaith said, “Her last run in the Majorca can be ignored as we tried placing her handy and she got caught three wide. It was a disaster. If you take that run away, her form is very strong. She has been doing well in Durban. Her British owners will be flying out to watch the race.”

Legislate has also drawn well in the KRA Guineas and Snaith said, “It is a bit on the short side for him and it is a preparation for the Daily News 2000, but he could surprise. Captain America is the horse to beat, but I want Legislate running on and showing that he will be very competitive in the Daily News.”

Jet Explorer is having his first outing since the J&B Met and Snaith said it would be a preparation run and that from his wide draw he would have to be dropped out.

The yard also run Agra and Varikate in a 1000m Conditions Plate for fillies and mares.

He said, “Agra only arrived in Durban last week because our boxes weren’t ready, so Varikate has had a lot better preparation, despite being laid off after an injury last Summer.

“Agra is sound and very fast and this is her pipe opener for the SA Fillies Sprint. She hasn’t raced since December as there was nothing for her. She has never raced on a turn before, so it will be interesting. Varikate worked at Greyville last week and looked around at everything. She is out at the weights, but could surprise.”

Meanwhile, the yard’s impressive Umkhomazi Stakes winner Harry Lime has come out of the race well and is on track for the Gr 1 Tsogo Sun Medallion at Scottsville on May 24.

Unfortunately one of his chief July contenders Readytogorightnow was eliminated from the Drill Hall and he is now looking at a Pinnacle race on May 18 and the Cup Trial as his qualifying route.[/expand]
