Get back the money

Trained by Justin Snaith, Somerset Maugham has been expensive to follow, especially in his last start where he went off 19-20 favourite and failed to catch Alter Ego over 1400m at Durbanville.

There were excuses for that loss – jockey Richard Fourie dropped his crop and his mount pulled in the early stages.

But the stars should align for the three-year-old son of Trippi in Race 4 at Kenilworth Tuesday, a Maiden Plate over 1600m. The way he ran last time Somerset Maugham will appreciate both the extra 200m and the change in course.

He is strongly expected to recoup the losses and is a confident banker in all of the exotics.
