Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Saturday 17th January where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
CARDINAL POINT produced a promising debut effort over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. He lost a length leaving the start, took time to find his feet but stayed on nicely at the finish. The son of Vercingetorix would have gained from the experience and if not too green around the turn, he should take a power of beating.
BEHAVE HARRIS has shown good improvement in his last two starts over 1200m. The son of Hawwaam is a progressive type and he may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
RED WAVE showed speed over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time, but found one too good in the form of Loving Prague. The son of Erik The Red should earn another cheque for his patrons.
Race 2
VOLEGOV‘S last three starts over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth have been good. The son of Querari should have no issues with the rise to 1400m. He has cracked pole position and should get a good run in transit. He is the horse to beat with Aldo Domeyer retaining the ride.
PRINCE OF EGYPT returns from a 10-week break, during which time he was gelded. He finished third on this course, three runs ago. Should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces.
MEET THE KING was disappointing in his last start over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. He steps back up to 1400m and gets the services of Andrew Fortune. The son of Master Of My Fate has scope and he would not be a shock winner.
Race 3
This is a competitive Maiden Plate for the girls and caution is advised. The tentative first selection is SOUTH OF FRANCE from the Candice Bass stable. She raced from a prominent position over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time and stayed on to finish third. She is suited to this distance and if not too far out of her ground turning for home, she can shed her maiden tag.
IONA CASTLE stayed on at the finish over this distance last time, but found one too good in the form of Kubu. The obvious concern is her wide draw. With luck in running, she should throw out a big challenge to the top choice.
GQEBERHA ran a good race on debut over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. She would have gained from the experience and should love the rise to 1400m. With the natural improvement that is expected, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 4
Trainer Adam Marcus holds a strong hand in this contest and he can saddle the first two past the post. ALL ABOUT AL has consistent form lines to his name. He raced from just off the pace over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time, moved up before getting outrun late. He has won once, finished second twice and third once from five starts over this C&D. The 8yo gelding can return to winning ways.
KELP FOREST won a good race over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. He has won once and finished third once from as many starts over this trip. The son of Flower Alley merits healthy respect.
MOODY BLUE finished 2.65 lengths behind the top choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he may have to settle for the same result.
Race 5
EDUCATOR showed good signs of a form return when third over 1500m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. She was slow into stride, but stayed on at the finish. The daughter of One World drops back in class and can notch up her second-career victory.
BERRY‘S BOOGIE ran a good race when fourth over 1500m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. The saddle was reported to have slipped in running which makes the effort that much more encouraging. She is having her peak run and is one of the leading contenders.
BOOZY SUSIE finished second over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she will love the rise to 1600m. She has scope and merits healthy respect.
Race 6
SILVER SALUTE is a progressive individual and was an easy winner when shedding her maiden tag over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. The daughter of Vercingetorix takes on stronger, but she looks to have some class about her. If jumping on terms, she can follow up with another victory.
MONEY EXTRACTOR was touched off in her last start over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. She is back against her own sex and may be hard to peg back.
LADY LOOK ALIKE raced from just off the pace last time and stayed on to finish fourth. She has finished second once and third once from as many starts over this C&D. From pole position, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 7
MY ONLY WEAKNESS took on stronger in her last start over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. She has won once and finished third once from three starts over this C&D. It is encouraging that Craig Zackey steps back into the saddle. She drops back in class and from her good draw of two, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
MAN OF CONSEQUENCE followed up his maiden win with a good third- place finish over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. He was slow into stride, but finished off his race well. If jumping on terms, he should pose a massive threat.
IN A TIMELY MANNER‘S last two starts have been good. He is having his peak run and will be cherry-ripe. If JP van der Merwe can switch him off early, he should be involved at the finish
