See It Again heads up Cup log

FUNCTION: LOG GIVES INDICATION OF HOW THE SUMMER CUP ENTRIES ARE RANKED

- 

See It Again, a two-time Grade 1 winner trained by Michael Roberts, tops the first Betway Summer Cup Log, which was released on Tuesday.

A total of 42 horses have been entered for the Grade 1 Betway Summer Cup to be run at Turffontein on 29 November, but with the field limited to 20 runners, it still remains to be seen which runners will face the starter and try to grab their share of the R6-million purse on offer.

4Racing, in consultation with the NHA Handicappers, will publish a series of logs leading up to the premier Highveld race, and the determination of the final field is at the discretion of the NHA in consultation with 4Racing.

According to NHA Handicapper Lennon Maharaj, the Summer Cup log functions as the official ranking tool used to determine which horses are most likely to be selected for the Summer Cup, based on their position at the time the log is published.

The Summer Cup is limited to a maximum of 20 runners. The log is published in stages, including the initial and final versions and is compiled by the Racing Operator (4Racing) in consultation with the Handicappers.

It ranks the top 20 horses most likely to make the final field if selection were to take place at the time of publication. These horses are listed in order of preference.

All other entries outside the top 20 are listed in descending Merit Rating order.
