Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Wednesday 18th March where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
ENTICEMENT produced a promising debut effort over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. She showed good speed, but found one too good in the form of Grapes Of Wrath who looks to be above average. The daughter of Erik The Red would have gained from the experience and if not too green around the turn, she should take a power of beating.
WINTER PIRATE has produced two good runs over this distance. The son of What A Winter is a progressive type and should be the first male past the post.
PLATINUM GREY was in need of his debut effort over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. He returns from a 12-week break, during which time he would have strengthened up. The son of Danon Platina should make the natural progression.
Race 2
PITERAQ was not beaten far in her last start over 1250m on this course. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. The daughter of Hawwaam should have no issues with the drop to 1000m and from pole position, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
SICILY has faced winners in his last two starts over this C&D. It must be noted that the horse that finished third in his last outing has come out and won since. He is back in Maiden company and should pose a threat.
SKY ROCKET is the stable companion of the second choice. He was not disgraced in his penultimate outing over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. With a bit of luck from the widest draw, he can finish in the placings.
Race 3
Trainer Justin Snaith holds a strong hand in this contest and can saddle the first two past the post. O‘FELLOW showed massive improvement in his last start over 1600m on this course. He finished 1.5 lengths behind READY FOR THE ROAD last time. He is 4kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned.
READY FOR THE ROAD was caught late over 1600m on this course last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. If seeing out the extra distance on offer, he should be competitive.
I AM SAM has moderate form lines to his name. The son of The United States should have no issues with the rise to 2000m. He has cracked a good draw of three and can finish in the placings.
Race 4
LOVE SHACK was far from disgraced against stronger over 1000m on this course last time. She finished 1.9 lengths behind RAFFISH TREND in her penultimate outing. She is 4kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She is having her peak run today and can notch up her third-career victory.
RAFFISH TREND followed up her maiden win with a good third-place finish over this C&D. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back.
BONNE BOUCHE has fair recent form lines to her name. It must be noted that the horse that finished third in her last outing has come out and won since. If getting away on terms, she should be competitive.
Race 5
DAWN‘S EARLY LIGHT finished 0.05 lengths behind SOOTY last time. He is 1kg better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has won twice and finished second once from four starts over this C&D. He steps back up in class but from pole position, he should go close.
SOOTY lasted long enough when winning his last start over this C&D. He finished 0.1 lengths behind WORLDLY in his penultimate run. He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and should turn the form around.
WORLDLY‘S last two starts have been fair. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from his awkward draw of seven, and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
Race 6
DECEMBER DAWN stayed on when third over 1000m on this course last time. She gets the services of 4kgs claiming Apprentice Blaine Marx-Jacobson which will assist her cause. She jumps from an ideal draw of two and in this field, she has a good winning chance.
GIRL LIKE US has fair consistent form lines to her name. She has won twice and finished second once from seven starts over this C&D. The daughter of What A Winter is having her peak run today and is one of the leading contenders.
BLACK ERIKA is better than her last start as she was reported to be not striding out. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She is a horse with plenty of scope and should produce another honest effort.
Race 7
HANDSOME PRINCE raced from a handy position over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time before tiring late. He has won once and finished third twice from five starts on this course. Corne Orffer is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
YAMAZAKI stayed on when fourth over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. He takes on stronger, but carries a handy galloping mass of 52.5kgs and should be up to the task at hand.
BOOGIEFIED ran on well when winning his last start over 1400m on this course. He takes a rise in class but is in a good space, and should give a good account of himself.
Race 8
BACKINTHEFASTLANE has run two fair races since winning his maiden over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. The son of Captain Of All gets the services of 4kgs claiming Apprentice Sifisokuhle Bungane which will assist his cause. He should get a good run in transit from barrier three and can return to winning ways.
SPIRIT OF LEVANA showed some signs of a form return when sixth over this C&D last time. The daughter of Fire Away takes a drop in class and would not be a shock winner.
LANDSEER stayed on when second over 1800m on this course last time. He would have come on from the run and will strip much fitter. If jumping on terms, he should be involved in the fight to the finish
