The James Crawford-trained Rafeef filly Mon Petit Cherie has blossomed into a classy filly, who could give Double Grand Slam something to think about this Summer.
She gave her decent contemporary Miss World 6kg in a 1200m Progress Plate at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Wednesday and Richard Fourie was able to pretty much toy with the latter.
The Ridgemont-homebred filly, who is part-owned by Devin Heffer, got up by a neck but was not given a hard time and was asked to do just enough to win.
The Gr 1 Cartier Paddock Stakes over 1800m and the Gr 1 Maine Chance Farms Majorca Stakes over 1600m could be the races where she will have a chance to exact revenge on Double Grand Slam.
The latter beat her by 0,80 lengths when winning the Gr 1 Ridgemont Garden Province Stakes over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Hollywoodbets Durban July day.
Fourie rode a double at the Wednesday meeting to close the gap on Craig Zackey, who only had one win.
There were also doubles for Vaughan Marshall and Candice Bass.
Fourie is now on 77 wins achieved at a strike rate of 26.10% for the season.
Zackey is on 93 wins at 17.58%.
Marshall is on 24 wins at 14.72%.
Bass is on 23 wins at 10.55%.
