The Durban July champion WINCHESTER MANSION is the ruling favourite, having run once since his great day at Greyville, finishing a close-up fourth in the Charity Mile at Turffontein. WINCHESTER MANSION is trained by Brett Crawford.
Interview and video by Andrew Bon.
The five-year-old is trained by Cape Town’s Brett Crawford but has been resident on the Highveld since being gelded earlier this year and has clearly thrived. He carries 5kg more than he did in the July, but he has shown he can lug lead in feature company and, with his partner in glory Kabelo Matsunyane in the irons, must be included in all permutations.
