Triple Crown hero Louis The King has come in for sustained support for Saturday’s J & B Met in the last few days and yesterday he was as short as 2-1 (joint favourite with Futura) while Legislate has gone out to 4-1 with Betting World.

Anton Marcus will miss the J&B Met meeting at Kenilworth on Saturday, where he was due to ride Gr 1 Investec Cape Derby favourite Act Of War among others.
Marcus was injured at the start of the third race at Scottsville on Tuesday.
Marcus has just returned from an eleven-week absence due to thumb surgery. The good news this time is that it is not a serious injury and he only expects to be out for a “very short period of time.”
His mount Alpeonie flipped over in the stalls and his foot was trapped between the filly and the handle at the back that opens and closes the gates. Miraculously there were no broken bones.

Neil Bruss has two interesting runners on J&B Met day, including the talented four-year-old Jet Master filly Red Flame, but unfortunately both have drawn wide so will need a bit of luck.
She could be the Jewel amongst the pack

The Adam Marcus-trained Priceless Jewel will be a big runner in the Gr 1 Klawervlei Majorca Stakes on J&B Met day on Saturday if repeating her excellent third behind the brilliant Beach Beauty last year, a race in which one of this year’s Majorca fancies Hammie’s Hooker beat her by just 0,75 lengths.
