No-one to touch Saint Moritz in Mzee Pwani Trophy at Ngong
Jockey Lesley Sercombe aboard Saint Moritz celebrates as she crosses the finish line to win the Steward Cup at Ngong Race Course on July 9,
If you were to gather Cranleigh, Deodoro, Daytime Girl, General Lee, and, Westwind, into one cauldron, it would be tricky detaching them as they are all on equal hoofing.
Just add a teaspoon of the main ingredient, Saint Moritz – story becomes apparent. Having grown more powerful during his sojourn, Saint Moritz is simply on another dimension.
He can sit pretty in the Ray Warner Mzee wa Pwani 1,400m, until assailants wear thin trying to outfox him. Then an open sesame gap will allow Lady Spencer's craftsman to strut his prowess. Importantly, spectators must go to Ngong for that New Year buzz of well-wishers.
High Legislation has consistently been in the money. As a true Chilli Cup contender, High Legislation ought to diminish Ameerah and Pretty Pearl.
Jack Sparrow has been keeping a low profile of late, so we have to wait until his spark returns.
