The powerful stables of Dean Kannemeyer and Mike and Mathew de Kock face off in the headline event, the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas (1,600m), at Kenilworth on Dec 13.

The Kannemeyer family have won the race 10 times and seek an Ilth win with Gimmie Rules, a three-from-four son of Gimmethegreenlight.

Mike de Kock has won it five times and will be looking for another success with Jan Van Goyen, his first Guineas runner in partnership with his son.

Jockey Callan Murray said the Master Of My Fate colt’s last-start second in the Grade 2 Dingaans (1,600m) on Nov 29 was full of merit even if he could have used a better prep.

“He was in need of that run. Unfortunately, his prep run didn’t go to plan,” said Murray who rode with moderate success at Kranji in 2019.
