Son of Marchfield has won four of his 11 races but it is a watching brief for the gelding this weekend

There is a surprise name among the 10-strong field for the topliner at Turffontein on Saturday — Matterhorn, last seen out in the Vodacom Durban July, represents the KwaZulu-Natal stable of Alyson Wright.

“The altitude when going that far [in the Summer Cup] is always an issue so the decision was taken to send Matterhorn to Candice and she’s happy with his progress,” said Wright. Bidding for the fourth win of his career, the Chris van Niekerk-owned colt finished a close-up fourth by Glen Kotzen’s runner Cat Daddy.

With 118 winners from just 667 mounts, Gavin Lerena had an excellent strike-rate last season and he should be among the winners for trainer Johan Janse van Vuuren. In the fourth race Lerena will partner Run April Run rather than William Longsword’s daughter Remember When, who has looked a smart individual in her two outings.
