Kannemeyer’s charge has Industrialstrength

October 2024

Justin Snaith-trained Song To The Moon edged a recent course-and-distance meeting with Dean Kannemeyer-trained Industrialstrength, the  pair finishing second and third respectively behind Devil A Saint over 1600m on 28 September but it could pay to take a chance on the unexposed Kannemeyer runner turning the tables when they renew rivalry in Race 5, a Class 4 Handicap over the same distance at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Saturday.

 

Industrialstrength, a lightly raced four-year-old colt, was making just his third racecourse appearance and first in the Western Cape when finishing a short head behind Song To The Moon three weeks ago.

 

Kannemeyer's Gimmethegreenlight colt was also going 1600m for the first time after two promising sprints over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Greyville.

Undoubtedly, Industrialstrength would have come on with the benefit of that Cape introduction and he remains open to improvement. With that in mind, his progress is certainly worth following under jockey Craig Zackey, retained rider for owner Lady Laidlaw's Khaya Stables.

 

Vaughan Marshall-trained Aspect continues to push his limits and seems capable of extending his winning sequence to six in Race 7 over 1400m.

 

This Global View gelding defied a career-high mark when completing a 1400m five-timer with a game frontrunning display over the course and distance under Mpume Mjoka seven weeks ago and copped another six-point penalty for his troubles, though that is not likely to halt his momentum, especially as he is the only proven frontrunner in the line-up.

 

So, even with 58.5kg on his back and Sean Veale in the irons for the first time, Aspect will be hard to peg back if allowed an uncontested lead.
