The winner of the first two legs of the East Cape Sophomore Challenge for three-year-olds, Fairy Knight, has been entered for the third and final leg.

He tops the list of 16 runners nominated for the R350 000 Listed TAB East Cape Derby over 2400m, to be run on 10 May.

Fairy Knight, trained by Alan Greeff, won the Ibhayi Stakes (1st leg) and the East Cape Guineas (2nd leg).

The Global View gelding can secure a bonus of R250 000 for his connections if he wins the Derby.

The big question is if he will be able to get the distance of 2400m.

Cape Town trainer Justin Snaith has nominated two horses, Rapidash and Daimayo.

The other Western Cape entry is Blue Bay from the Brett Crawford stable.
