One Way Traffic could claim the Derby

Both races are run as weight-for-age plus penalty events but unlike most Derby and Oaks around the world which are only open to three-year-olds, these two races will accept any runner from cradle to grave into the final field.However, as far as the Oaks is concerned it is a three-year-old who is the runner to beat and that is Candice Dawson-trained My Soul Mate.There aren’t any stars in the race and with Richard Fourie aboard, this daughter of Master Of My Fate may be hard to catch.
She followed that up with a 0.40-length second place behind Beating Wings in the TAB Igugu Stakes over 2000m. In fact, Future Girl split the pair, finishing 1.60 lengths behind My Soul Mate, but she too is 0.5kg worse off and looks unlikely to reverse the form line.Andre Nel-trained Cape Eagle won his first attempt at 2400m, flying up late to catch One Way Traffic by 0.10 lengths at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. However, Justin Snaith’s charge is now 1.5kg better off and should easily reverse the form.
