LINEBACKER. This four-year-old gelding ran second in the 2021 Vodacom Durban July after starting as favourite. Can he bag this big one in the cape?

LINEBACKER went into the 2021 Vodacom Durban July as a joint-favourite at the jump at 28/10. The Vaughn Marshall-trained gelding had won the Grade 1 Daily News 2000, the Grade 2 WSB Guineas and the  Grade 1 Jonsson Workwear Cape Derby

He did endure a forgettable L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate earlier this year, but poor runs appear to be the exception to the rule for the son of Captain Of All. Grant van Niekerk will be on board, expect him to be in the mix at the end. It’s worth noting that he has won both starts over this distance, both times piloted by van Niekerk (Cape Derby and Daily News 2000)
