Former East Cape horse of the year winners, Hear The Drums and Copper Parade, are some of the sprinters that have won the Cradock Place Stakes, Friday's feature race at Fairview in Port Elizabeth, in recent years.

Only six runners will contest this year's NBT race over 1200m, four from the champion stable of Alan Greeff.
Viking Moon and Purple Diamond are the Greeff runners at the top of the betting boards but the mare La Bella Mia (Gavin Smith) could give them a run for their money.
