December 15 - The Cape Guineas has a rich tradition of attracting equine superstars, and the lineup for this Saturday's race is one of the strongest in memory. The biggest online SA bookmakers have posted odds, and there is definitely some value to be had if one is willing to do a bit of homework and compare them.

Sportingbet's SA arm has Divine Jet and Princess Victoria as joint favourites. Here are their complete odds for the big race:

Divine Jet 7/2
Princess Victoria 7/2
Silver Flyer 9/2
Variety Club 9/2
Gimmethegreenlight 6/1
Liancourt Rock 12/1
Depardieu 25/1
Hearts Of Fire 25/1
Astro News 25/1
Blaze Of Fire 66/1
Silver Haven 66/1
Master Mascus 66/1
The Balladeer 125/1

The best value there could well be Variety Club, who is proven at the course and distance, and other than Sliver Flyer holds most of these runners on collateral form. The unknown factor is Princess Victoria, but she will have to improve off her last run to win here.

I would also recommend looking at the betting at Lance Michael Bookmaker, but at the moment for ante-post odds the better prices appear on Sportingbet.
