Mucho Dinero arrives at Summerveld on Friday (Picture: Wayne Marks)

Justin Snaith already has a string of ten at Summerveld for the Champions Season and the Hollywoodbets Durban July second favourite Mucho Dinero arrives today (Friday).

The ten already there are Double Grand Slam, Future Swing, Snow Pilot, Baltic Secret, Underworld, Triple Time, One Way Traffic, Kwintas Light, Impact Investor and Dark Winter as well as J Roops the lead pony.

Arriving on Friday together with Mucho Dinero are Royal Aussie, Hhluhluwe, Lighning Glow, Get Impressed and Makazole.

The traditional Champions Season pipe openers for good Cape Town three-year-olds are the Gr 3 Byerley Turk over 1400m for colts and geldings and the Gr 3 Umzimkhulu Stakes over 1400m for fillies.

This meeting takes place on March 31  at Hollywoodbets Greyville and Jonathan Snaith said impressive Gr 3 Prix du Cap winner Double Grand Slam, a Vercingetorix filly who is named after and part-owned by Gary Player in partnership with Suzette Viljoen and Dave McLean, would be there.

The hard-knocking Querari three-year-old colt Underworld is also earmarked for that meeting and so is the Listed-winning Querari sprinting filly Baltic Secret.

The latter looks likely to run in one of the other features on the day, the Non-Black Type Kwazulu-Natal Stakes over 1000m, considering her  Listed win was over the minimum trip.

The achievements of the rest of the string are:

Snow Pilot (three-year-old Lancaster Bomber colt) – Gr 1 Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas winner.

Hluhluwe (three-year-old Trippi colt) – Gr 2 Cape Punters Cup (1600m) winner, Cape Guinesas third-placed.
