Kannemeyer’s Prince looks to go the extra mile

Written by Brendan Gaillard | Nov 15, 2024 7:15:36 PM

Racing at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday is a stand-alone meeting and the Grade 3 Cape Mile is the feature on the 10-race card.

Dual Grade 1 winner Gimme A Prince returned from a year's absence to finish fourth in the Grade 3 Matchem Stakes over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville and will now attempt 1600m for the first time.

In four starts over 1400m, Dean Kannemeyer ‘s charge has won twice and finished second in Grade 2 and Grade 3 races before finishing fourth in his Matchem return.

Given his undeniable class and potent acceleration, the introduction to 1600m on the Winter course with its shorter 450m run-in could work out well for jockey Craig Zackey.

Gimme A Prince could start at inflated odds, given his wide starting berth and venture into the unknown over 1600m, so represents an attractive betting proposition. He is the highest-rated runner on the card and best-weighted of the 10 Cape Mile participants.
