VIVA Maria (Majorca Stakes) and Il Sanpietro (J&B Stayers) will run for the stable on J&B Met Day at Kenilworth, Saturday.
Diane de Kock reported from Cape Town: “Viva Maria has been in the Cape since the Paddock Stakes, stabled with Joey Ramsden. She looks well and our work rider, who is with her, said she was doing well. I think she has got a bit of a shout.
“Ilsanpietro arrived on Wednesday but is in quarantine on course in an enclosed area. He travelled better than last year when he came down for the Met.”
Il Sanpietro, shortly after his arrival in Cape Town this week.

With a brisk headwind predicted Viva Maria will have her work cut out if she tries to win it from the front. Might be better off finding some cover about 4 lengths off and unleashing in the straight even if the pace is sedate.
