Last year’s runner-up and the East Cape reigning Champion Older Horse Grazinginthegrass (Alan Greeff) will also be in action.
The winner of the Listed East Cape Guineas, Perfection (Gavin Smith), will be seen for the first time this season and will have many supporters in what should be a thrilling affair.
