The R500 000 World Sports Betting Gr3 1900 will be run at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Saturday. Will the race unleash a 3-year-old candidate to represent Justin Snaith in the forthcoming Hollywoodbets Durban July?
The race will tell whether it could be the exciting Okavango or Native Ruler … or perhaps both?
Michele Wing previewed the race with trainer comments in current market order :
8️ Okavango :”A big jump in class. He’s got a low weight of 52kgs. He has an okay draw at 8 and over this distance it shouldn’t be a problem. He is fit”, Justin Snaith.
9️ Native Ruler : “Very well weighted. If he gets the run of the race, he could be the horse they all have to beat”, Justin Snaith.
6️ Future Swing : “He’s missed quite a bit of work. He’ll be wearing a tongue tie for the first time which I’m hoping will get a couple of lengths out of him”, Justin Snaith.
1️0 Holding Thumbs : “He’s a serious horse and probably one of the best I’ve trained for a long time. We’ve nominated him for the July. If we can qualify him at bottom weight, he’ll be very dangerous”, Glen Kotzen.
5️ Underworld : “He is extremely fit. He has come on all of a sudden. He is the dark horse in the race”, Justin Snaith.
1 Shoot The Rapids : “He’s got a good draw, but quite a bit of a weight though. He carried 61 ½ and won the other day, so 58 is a bit lighter than that. He’s in a good space,” Frank Robinson.
4️ Narina Trogon : “He’s in a very good space and we’re expecting a big run from him”, Lilli Christiansen.
7️ Madison Valley : “I gave him two 1600’s to get him back into shape and now he is spot-on. Look for a big run from him”, Frank Robinson
1️3 Selukwe : “He’s in the right space to take on a field like this. He’s drawn deep and needs a pace to settle off. Nicely weighted and he’ll run an honest race”, Byron Foster.
1️1 Cape Eagle : “He needed his first run this year and in his last, he was very gutsy in the finish. He’s versatile as he can race forward or from off the pace. He’s a fitter horse now”, Byron Foster.
1️4 Salute You : “It’s a big step up in class for him. He does come in with bottom weight of 52, which will assist his cause. He’s only ever run up to a mile, but I’ve always thought he wants ground. He does everything right in a race”, Peter Muscutt.
3️ Infinite Wonder : “Third run after 18 months off the track. Finished 6 lengths off Let’s Go Now in the Gr2 TAB Colorado King Stakes last time out,” Racing News.
4️ Thunee Playa : “A winner in January, but will need to find on his last 2 runs to be competitive here”, Racing News.
