Snaith has power and can claim the glory

Trainer Justin Snaith has already had a great season so far in the Western Cape which culminated in his winning the Grade 1 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met with exciting colt Eight On Eighteen who then went on to capture the Grade 1 Splashout Cape Derby.

But in Races 4 and 6 respectively at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Saturday he sends out two more three-year-olds that could be under the radar. Powerandtheglory is a gelded Gimmethegreenlight half-brother to Snaith’s Cape Guineas and Met hero Double Superlative, but while he came home an impressive winner in his second start he didn’t step up on that.

Nevertheless, he has not finished far off Eric Sand-trained Gallic Dream and in his last start, his first after gelding, he seemed to settle better and made some progress. He has been given the best of the draws in Race 4, a B Stakes, and it could be his time to stake his claim for the upcoming big races.

The same can be said of Regulation who could be hard to beat in Race 6, a Class 4 Handicap. He is related to Snaith’s well-handicapped Durban July winner Belgarion and he has won more races, admittedly when not fancied. But he was heavily fancied when unlucky in his last two. It is obvious that he is also showing a lot more now matured.
