What the Last Two Runs Tell Us
First, the favourite did not win in 2025. Quickstepgal went to the front early under Lerena and was never headed. However, Golden Palm reportedly never found a clear run. Meanwhile, Reet Petite was second and Wish List third, which shows how open the race can be.
Next, the Western Cape Fillies Championship is a useful guide. Quickstepgal ran fourth in that Grade 2 on 8 November 2025, and she then won the Guineas four weeks later. So this Saturday’s race at Kenilworth is worth watching, because it could point to a Guineas contender. Our Western Cape Fillies Championship guide has the details.
Finally, the race pays well. The purse was lifted to R1 million for the 2024 race, and in 2025 it was R1.25 million in added money. As a result, it draws the best three year old fillies in the country. For help with the card, see our how to bet on horse racing guide.
