The Gr 2 Western Cape Fillies Championship (Saturday 16H10 Hollywoodbets Kenilworth) sees an eagerly awaited second clash between the unbeaten Alan Greef-trained Anotherdanceforme and the crack Tienie Prinsloo-trained Quickstepgal.
Prinsloo believes Quickstepgal would have beaten Anoterdanceforme had the latter not crossed her path in the Gr 2 Splashout Golden Slipper over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Hollywoodbets Durban July day.
However, the stipendiary stewards did not agree and Tienie did not receive his deposit back after his objection was overruled.
Anotherdanceforme hung badly from the outside to the inside, which can happen with young horses at Hollywoodbets Greyville, especially with the huge, noisy crowds on the stands on July day.
However, her ability was there for all to see.
The Varsfontein Stud-bred Master Of My Fate filly is unbeaten in six starts and 1400m is likely her optimum trip, so she will be hard to beat despite having to jump from draw eight of ten.
Quickstepgal is drawn one inside of her.
The latter is a Greenacres Trust (Marsh Shirtliff)-bred daughter of Vercingetorix and and can continue to progress this season.

Gavin Lerena rides Quickstepgal, who was bought in training from Rakesh Singh by Laurence Wernars and Harry Wilsson.
It is a clash for the ages and not to be missed.
However, it is far from a two horse race.
The progressive Justin Snaith-trained One World filly She’s My World has the advantage of pole position and will be out to score a hattrick. She will love this trip having triumphed in the Gr 3 Schweppes Diana Stakes over this trip at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time out.
The Dean Kannemeyer-trained Vercingetorix filly Princess Of Gaul has a lot of class and will be looking to bounce back from a 5,35 length defeat by She’s My World in the Diana Stakes. She had excuses as she was drawn one and was cramped for room when attempting to make a run down the inside rail.
However, the horse to possibly take out of the Diana is the Eric Sands-trained Vercingetorix filly Stormwatch, as she flew home from well of the pace and was beaten only half-a-length.
The Snaith-trained Varsfontein homebred Gimmethegreenlight filly Gimme What I Want looks full of class and has plenty of scope for improvement, so will be a fascinating runner from draw three.
The Snaith-trained Wish List was somewhat unlucky to not catch Stormwatch when they met over this trip at Hollywoodbets Durbanville and, considering Stormwatch’s subsequent eyecatching second in the Diana, she must have a chance too, although she will have to overcome draw nine of nine.
Lowveld Lily, Keukenhof and Electromagnetism will have to up their games to be involved, but are no slouches at all and that they are viewed here as outsiders is a sign of the field’s strength.
This is sure to be one of the most exciting three-year-old fillies clashes in some time and is not to be missed!
