Cape Fillies Guineas and Majorca winner Snowdance is to revert to sprint distances for the first time since she won over 1 100m on her debut as a two-year-old.

Jono Snaith said: “We have always believed that she is a sprinter but that it is her class that carries her through over further and she will run in the SA Fillies Sprint at Scottsville on May 25.”

Apparently there is still a chance that Do It Again could attempt to repeat last year’s win in the Vodacom Durban July even though the four-year-old would be likely to have top weight.

Snaith explained: “He will run in the Independent on Saturday Drill Hall (at Greyville on May 4) but no decision about the July will be made until after he has run in the Rising Sun Gold Challenge (June 8). The owners (Nic Jonsson, Bernard Kantor and Jack Mitchell) will then decide whether he goes for the July or runs in the Champions Cup (July 27). He won’t go for both.”

Plans for last year’s Sun Met winner Oh Susanna are up in the air. “Drakenstein (who owns and bred the filly) have not made a final decision as to whether or not she goes to Durban,” said Snaith.
