The Met Contenders
Jet Dark flew home from the rear of the field to win his second Queen's Plate at the beginning of the month. Kommetdieding stayed on to place second over a mile that day and the bookies clearly fancy the 2021 Durban July hero to reverse that form over this longer trip, listing Kommetdieding as the 2/1 favourite.
Bet.co.za are offering a boosted price of 17/2 on Kommetdieding winning Saturday's Sun Met.
Justin Snaith could be represented by star three-year-old Double Superlative, who ran out a convincing winner of the Cape Guineas in December. Linebacker disappointed when only seventh in the Queen's Plate, but he too can be found at a single-figure price.
Marina is a likely runner for Candice Bass-Robinson, while Justin Snaith could run double Durban July winner, Do It Again and Goodwood Premier Trophy winner Hoedspruit.
Second Base and Puerto Manzano could fly the flag for Janse van Vuuren. Cirillo and Rockin' Ringo also feature in the final field.
