LEGAL EAGLE

Cape Town – Trainer Mike Robinson has as many horses in his yard as Justin Snaith has runners at Kenilworth on Saturday – 30 – but he is confident Goodtime Gal is going to at least make the frame in the Cartier Paddock Stakes. He also reckons she is better value than her 14-1 price would suggest.
Ken Nicol: Cape Town – Trainer Candice Bass-Robinson believes Horizon is her best runner in the Grade 2 Peninsula Handicap at Kenilworth this Saturday.
