Why the Western Cape Fillies Championship Points to the Guineas
First, the Championship is a stepping stone. Quickstepgal ran fourth here in 2025, beaten about 1.75 lengths, and she then won the Grade 1 Cape Fillies Guineas. However, Princess Of Gaul, the winner, went to the Guineas too and was beaten 2.5 lengths. So a filly that runs well here is worth following, even if she does not win.
Next, the market has not had it easy. The 6/4 favourite finished fourth in 2024, and in 2025 the unbeaten market leader did not win either. For example, Mon Petit Cherie was a 12/1 winner in 2024. In short, the race rewards a close look at the form rather than the shortest price.
Finally, the fields are big enough to be open. There were 12 runners in 2024 and 10 in 2025. Our how to bet on horse racing guide explains how to read each filly’s form line.
