The original plan after win was that he would go straight for the Grade 1 Cape Guineas on 17 December with Markus Jooste’s racing manager, Derek Brugman, saying: “It’s the Guineas next and then we will play around with a few ideas – whether we go for the Derby or the Met. At this point in time we will probably lean towards the side of caution but it’s not inconceivable that we will lean towards the Met.” The Selangor is the traditional prep for the Cape Guineas although two of the last five winners of that classic had not run in the Selangor. Vari- ety Club and Act Of War won both races and Joey Ramsden who trained them and has charge of Table Bay, has won four of the last five runnings of this race. Mike de Kock has three of the next four highest merit-rated entries headed by Janoobi who won the Grade 3 Protea Stakes at Turffontein in April and showed good form when winning a handicap at Turffontein on Saturday. However, he is drawn quite wide at No 15. Highly regarded Al Fahad and Bold Rex have both drawn well at Nos 8 and 7 respectively. He also has entered Heavenly Blue who was touched off in the Grade 3 Graham Beck Stakes by Doosra at Turffon- tein on Saturday.

"She's definitely matured and she's 10 kilos heavier than this time last year, but obviously that will come down as we start to get her a bit fitter. She won't run until the [G2] Duke of York at the earliest or there's the Temple S. a week later or a race in Ireland. She'll have entries for all of them and we'll see nearer the time where we go.@ "As we stand, if the ground on the slow side of good I'd favour Haydock as she loves Haydock,@ Burke added. "She's unbeaten there and she's not short of speed so five furlongs wouldn't worry me.
