Inara, 6-1 second favourite for Saturday week’s Champions Challenge after her decisive win in last Saturday’s Empress Club Stakes, is unlikely to run.

Mike Bass said yesterday: “I still have to discuss it with Kevin Sommerville but I’m not sure that she will run. She has gone back to Durban – she left after the race because I thought it better to get her out of there as quickly as possible so there was no time to acclimatise.”

Bass confirmed that his Cape Fillies Guineas winner and CTS Million Dollar runner-up Silver Mountain will run next in the Daisy Fillies Guineas at Greyville on May 6, adding: “She is doing very well.”

World Sports Betting makes Legal Eagle 7-10 for Turffontein’s R4 million showpiece with stable companion French Navy on 8-1. Brazuca and Captain America are 10-1 chances.

Abashiri is a prohibitive 1-3 to complete the Triple Crown in the SA Derby. Samurai Blade (5-1) and Jubilee Line (8-1) are the only others quoted at less than 16-1.

World Sports Betting, which now sponsors the Computaform Sprint on the same card, has installed Carry On Alice favourite at 22-10 and goes 11-2 Triptease, 8-1 Guiness and 10-1 bar.
