King Peles an ‘improved' horse

CONFIDENCE: TRAINER VAN ZYL BELIEVES HIS CHARGE HAS MATURED AHEAD OF SUMMER CUP
HIGH HOPES. Trainer Gareth van Zyl believes Betway Summer Cup second favourite King Peles has matured and will find the 2000m at Turffontein right up his alley. Picture: Candiese Lenferna

There has been a lot of betting support for KwaZulu-Natal raider King Pelles to win Saturday's R6-million Betway Summer Cup over 2000m at Turffontein and trainer Gareth van Zyl believes his charge is a much better horse than the one who claimed three stayers' races during the KZN winter season.
The five-year-old son of Duke Of Marmalade was one of the standout performers in the winter, winning three major races - the KZN Derby, the Gold Vase and the Gold Cup - over 2400m, 3000m and 3200m respectively, and it was never in doubt that he would claim the Equus Champion Stayers Award for last season.
Now he will be reduced to a race over 2000m and will be looking to scoop his first Grade 1 victory.
