High Legislation tipped to rule the Kenyatta Cup Field at Ngong

Abandoned in the foyer of life, this meeting has now been resurrected for your ultimate gain. You all can chillax for the Kenyatta Cup, with High Legislation as a fairly secure banker. He has to bargain with Pretty Pearl, Beeston, and Twyford - each having claimers dropping useful amounts, but should snuff out the resistance.

Our champion jockey, Lesley Sercombe, is unable to participate, due to her hand still being mystifyingly painful. Charles Kimani and Ramazan Wako, will assist in filling the void.

Joe Muya's, Strider, needs to be on high alert as he attempts to chip into Maria and Ten Eighty's rapid ascendancy. They are each in sync to the 1,800m Merchant's Purse distance, so it will boil down to who has enough gravitas in a foreseeable photo-finish.
