We are back at the country course and hopeful for some decent results today.
Justin Snaith gives us an insightful look at his runners today (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
Here are Justin Snaith’s comments for Hollywoodbets Durbanville:
Race 1
- Groovejet is improving and will be the one to beat if he stays the 1800m trip.
Race 2
- Lady Springfield is improving with each run and will be in the money again. English Mistress is a year older and could prove hard to peg back.
Race 3
- Pacaya is a class sort and will produce his usual game effort.
- Rapidash is better than his form suggests and will run a top race.
- Rockpool returns from a break and will need this first run back.
- Sachdev is always capable of causing an upset if he produces his best.
Race 4
- Call To Unite was unlucky last time out and will go well again.
- Daimyo is improving but his rating has gone up 15 points in 5 starts so we hope he has improved as much as his rating hike. He looks great and should be in the money but this is a step up in class. He is looking for further than 1800m but has been off for 73 days hence the shorter trip.
- Gimme More Time won well last time out but that was against weaker company and he got 7 points for that win, so he’ll need to improve a lot with top weight.
- Two a Penny the danger.
Race 5
- Sail The Seas returns from a 73 day break but is relatively fit for his season opener. It’s always tough for a 3-year-old to take on older rivals but he does get a weight advantage and he has some class about him. He should deliver a sterling effort from the plum draw. This is a very open event with many having winning chances. 8-1 looks a good each-way bet.
- Song To The Moon also returns from a 77 day break but is fairly fit. He has a horrid 12 draw but does have the services of inform Richard Fourie. It’s his first run out the maidens and we are hoping for a respectable effort, if he has some luck in running.
- Unicorn Alert is back to form but will need some luck from a wide gate. He has Craig Zackey aboard which should improve his chances.
Race 7
- Gimmelightning has improved a lot over recent months and will only have to overcome the 10 draw to win. Good each-way value at 6-1.
