Latest log for Betway Summer Cup

Written by Gabriel Soma | Oct 31, 2023 7:13:53 AM

With his victory in the Grade 2 Allied Steelrode Onamission Charity Mile on Saturday at Turffontein over 1600m, Puerto Manzano has cemented his place at the top of the latest Betway Summer Cup log.

The six-year-old looks perfectly primed to defend his Summer Cup title, thereby securing a third Grade 1 career victory.

Cousin Casey, who made his Highveld debut for his new yard, has jumped up four places on the log to fourth, with third-placed Charity Mile finisher Bless My Stars now in third spot.

Durban July-winner Winchester Mansion remains second on the log after finishing fourth in the Charity Mile.

A notable change on the Summer Cup log sees Dave The King drop to sixth from third.

Zeus is the only newcomer, now in position number 18, while Lady Of Power has dropped out of the top 20.

Here is the latest log, in order A = latest log position; B = previous log position; C = Age; D = Sex; E = name of horse; F = updated merit rating; G = nett merit rating; H = difference between current and previous merit rating; I = previous merit rating; J = previous nett merit rating; K = name of trainer.
