Will stick with Safe Passage and Desert Miracle.

Pomp and Power may be a shrewd entry

Will be interesting to see whom will ride Desert Miracle but considering our 5/10 extensively discussed previous post it could well start favourite?
So is 16/10 a good price 🤔

Who remembers Curved Ball winning the Classic at 100/1? One could hear that proverbial pin drop at the Big T.
(I think it was Curved Ball).

No that was the Guineas

If you ask me Desert Miracle has more of the speed of her mommy and won't stay... Certainly tired quickly in the Guineas

4RACING MEDIA RELEASE
SUBJECT: Entries for SA Classic / SA Fillies Classic
DATE: Wednesday 23 February 2022
RELEASED BY: 4Racing
Both winners of the main features on Guineas Day are among the entries for the World
Sports Betting SA Classic and Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Classic at Turffontein on Saturday 5
March.
The two Grade 1 races over 1800m on the Standside track form the second leg of the WSB
Triple Crown and the Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara.
Mike de Kock-trained Safe Passage added the Grade 2 WSB Gauteng Guineas to his Grade 2
Dingaans win in November and has been priced up at 16-10 to triumph in the SA Classic.
Rain In Holland won the Grade 2 Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas and Sean Tarry has
his charge on track for the second leg of the Triple Tiara. She has been priced up at 15-10
with Desert Miracle, who started at 1-3 for the Gauteng Fillies Guineas, at 16-10.
Both horses won their respective races impressively and it is going to take a good horse to
stop either of them from completing the Triple Crown and Triple Tiara.
For the most they will be meeting the same horses they faced in the Guineas, but one
runner who will create a lot of interest in the SA Classic is unbeaten Zeus.
There is a supplementary entry stage on Monday with declarations closing at 11am on
Tuesday 1 March.
Also run on the 10-race card are the Grade 2 Hawaii Stakes over 1400m and the Listed
Aquanaut Handicap over 2400m.
The final leg of the Triple Crown is the Grade 1 SA Derby over 2450m while the final leg of
the Triple Tiara is the Grade 2 SA Oaks.
Those races will be run on Saturday 2 April.
