Hazy Dazy was easy to back before the start of the Grade 3 Ducat Africa Fillies Mile on Betway Summer Cup Day at Turffontein - the result of a single unplaced run at the Vaal recently. But she rewarded her staunch followers with a sparkling win under Trent Mayhew.

She was beaten under two lengths when favourite in a handicap at the Vaal a week prior to the race, and Mayhew explained: "There was a lightning delay and she just didn't enjoy standing around for an hour."

Hazy Dazy was a little fresh going down to the start, again, but Mayhew said she relaxed and settled down at the pens before producing her by now familiar long, relaxed strides to race to a commanding win.

Having won over 1500, 1600m and 2000m already, and with black type to her name, Hazy Dazy has now put up her hand as a potential 2026 Triple Tiara contender and Corne Spies confirmed that the grand prize for fillies is now on her radar.

"What a way to close off a testing day and well done to Trent, he lost his apprentice's claim today in a race he couldn't claim. He is going places. Hopefully Hazy Dazy can get to the Oaks, I think there is a lot more to come from here."

Hazy Dazy is owned by the partnership of Rob Macnab, Stergio Poriazis, Xander Spies, Vikash Sobaren, Dhiresh and Chantelle Dasrath and Diveshen Vauapuri. She was bred by the late David Makins from Act Of War out of Rabbedoe, and purchased for only R37,000.

Corne said: "This was even more sentimental because she was bred by the late Mr Makins, who supported our stable for decades."
