Had a quick look at the current A/P betting as per WSB - the two de Kock inmates Safe Passage and Sparking Water currently at the top of the boards but no value at those prices imo; Rain in Holland next - can't have that after the poor showing on the weekend; then William Robertson - surely stamina doubts, Aragosta (my current pick), Bingwa (does he get the trip ?) and Nebraas (must have a chance 
) and Shangani (jury is out for me) at 16/1; then Puerto Manzano (big chance imo after the Charity Mile and good value at 20s)
I see Zeus (45/1) is still on the log and could be something of a dark horse with Red Saxon (28/1), Light of the Moon and Pink Tourmaline (if ignoring their latest efforts) - both trading at 66/1.
For those looking for a long shot, I think one can do worse than putting a few shekels on Jaimala (80/1) and especially Raisethehallelujah (150/1) - even taking into account that they will probably be out at the weights, at least one knows that they are racing fit :dry:

4Racing Press Release
Johannesburg, 21 November 2022
Three trainers dominate Summer Cup field
Nineteen runners have been carded to go to post for the Betway Summer Cup over 2000m at Turffontein on Saturday.
While the final field has been announced, the draw for barrier positions will only be made at a function later tonight.
Runners from the stables of three trainers dominate the field. Mike de Kock has four runners as does Johan Janse van Vuuren while Sean Tarry has five.
There is no doubt De Kock has the strongest hand with Sparkling Water, Safe Passage, Aragosta and MK’s Pride as the first trio occupy the first three spots on the betting boards.
De Kock has engaged four top jockeys to ride his runners with S’manga Khumalo aboard Sparkling Water, Muzi Yeni on Safe Passage, Richard Fourie has Aragosta and Randall Simons rides MK’s Pride
De Kock will be looking for his 10th Betway Summer Cup winner but has not been victorious since Flirtation’s victory in 2010.
In recent years Tarry has been the most successful trainer, having won four of the last five Summer Cups and was also successful in 2009 with Aslan. Included in his quintet is 2019 winner Zillzaal. He also has Victory Moon Stakes champion Litigation, Nebraas, Pyromaniac and Shango.
Van Vuuren has been in excellent form and he sends out Grade 1 Premier’s Campions Challenge winner Astrix, Puerto Manzano, Second Base and Divine Odyssey.
Final field for the R2.25-million Betway Summer Cup (Grade 1) over 2000m on the Standside track at Turffontein on Saturday.

Re: Final Log Summer Cup

4Racing Press Release
Johannesburg, 21 November 2022
Three trainers dominate Summer Cup field
Trainer Sean Tarry, winner of four of the last five Summer Cups, has the best and the worst of the draws for Saturday’s Grade1 Betway Summer Cup over 2000m at Turffontein.
In a remarkable sequence of events, two of Tarry’s five runners were the first and last to be allocated a starting gate when the draw for the Betway Summer Cup was done at a Melrose Arch in Johannesburg on Monday evening – and they drew gates 1 and 19 respectively.
Tarry pulled the first number after it was determined that the draw would start with Shango, and duly pulled the number one gate for this six-year-old son of Captain Of All.
Stable companion Pyromaniac was the last to be allocated a starting gate and with all the numbers already drawn except 19, there was no reason for anybody to gasp when it was revealed that this four-year-old Silvano gelding would jump from Commissioner Street.
Tarry, together with trainers Mike de Kock and Johan Janse van Vuuren, dominate the Betway Summer Cup, saddling 13 of the carded 19 runners, with De Kock and Janse van Vuuren on four each and Tarry with five.
“What can you do? It’s all part of the game,” said Tarry about drawing both the inside and outside gates.
“We’ve had good winners from good and bad draws. Who knows, it’s just a matter of how they go on the day, how the pace is, and that the jockeys don’t lose their minds. It’s all important and plays a part.
“We’ve got some good draws, but some of the horses can’t use the draw because they might not have the early speed.
“But the draws do cement a few plans we may have had tactics wise.”
Tarry is also adamant that the draw is not that important, especially over the course and distance.
“Listen, you can overcome any draw over 2000m at Turffontein, I have no doubt about that.
“If the horse is right, it can win from anywhere over this course and distance.
“We’re just happy to be part of the event.”
De Kock is equally pleased with the outcome of the draw.
“I’m happy,” said De Kock, “especially for Aragosta to be on the outside. I think he’s a better horse on the outside, especially in a big field.
“For the rest of my runners, the draws are absolutely perfect.
“Look, it always helps to have a good draw so that you don’t have to rethink things, but in terms of their style of racing and the planning, I’m happy with where they all drew.”
Janse van Vuuren was also more than pleased with the outcome of the draw.
“My main horse, Puerto Manzano, got the best draw at seven and I’m very happy with that.
“We can probably get him four or five lengths off the pace from there and that’s exactly where we want him.
“Astrix drawn 11 is not the end of the world.
“Divine Odyssey is an old man. Drawn nine is ideal for him.
“Second Base doesn’t have much gate speed. He has the worst draw of all my horses, but if I had to pick one for a bad draw, it would have been Second Base.
“All things considered, I’m happy. It could have been better, but it could have been a lot worse.”
Final field for the R2.25-million Betway Summer Cup (Grade 1) over 2000m on the Standside track at Turffontein on Saturday (in order number, draw, horse, trainer, jockey, and weight).
