Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Saturday 14th February where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
EBISU received a bump leaving the start over this C&D last time, but stayed on to finish third. The daughter of One World returns from a 20-week break, during which time she would have strengthened up. If getting away on terms, she can shed her maiden tag.
EPERNAY ran a fair race on debut over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. She was green in running and stayed on at the finish. She would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
MEGHAN‘S DIAMOND is better than her last start over this C&D. She has cracked pole position and if finding the form of her penultimate run, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 2
IONA CASTLE is lightly raced with good form lines to her name. She set the pace over this C&D last time before getting outrun late by South Of France. Sean Veale is likely to use her early gate speed to overcome the awkward draw and she may be hard to peg back.
REDLIGHT LANE finished 0.5 lengths behind the top choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and there should not be much separating them at the finish.
HAZEL GREEN has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. It must be noted that the horse that finished second in her last outing has come out and won since. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight may be rewarded for consistency.
Race 3
PROTECTOR OF PEACE is lightly raced with good form lines to his credit. He showed pace over 1200m last time and stayed on to finish third. The son of Royal Mo should have no issues with the rise to 1600m. He has cracked a good draw of three and may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
BONELLI was running on when second over this C&D last time. The son of Master Of My Fate is a progressive type and should pose a threat.
OH SO ONEDERFUL showed good improvement when second over 1400m on this course last time. 4kgs claiming Apprentice Eduan Muller retains the ride. If confirming his recent improvement, he should be competitive.
Race 4
JOU LEKKER DING was running on when third over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. It must be noted that Dream Searcher has come out and won again since. The daughter of Oratorio will love the rise to 1600m and from pole position, she can return to winning ways.
PENTOLINA is the stable companion of the top choice. She is better than her last start over this C&D. The blinkers are re- fitted and on best form shown, she can go close.
ELUSIVE GIFT ran a good race when third over 1500m on this course last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. She steps up to 1600m and with luck from her awkward draw of eight, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 5
COUNTRY TIME finished 0.3 lengths behind GRAVITY last time. She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. Craig Zackey retains the ride and she will be mowing down the frontrunners.
BONNE BOUCHE finished 0.9 lengths behind GRAVITY last time. She is 2kgs better off at the weights today and should turn the form around. She is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back.
SICILY finished 0.5 lengths behind GRAVITY in the race referred to above. He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today. The son of Rafeef has cracked pole position and should be competitive.
Race 6
ALL IS GREEN should have finished closer to the winner last time as the saddle was reported to have slipped in running. She would have come on from the run and will strip much fitter. Both her career victories have come over this distance. Craig Zackey retains the ride, and she can return to winning ways.
SAACHI ONE showed good improvement when fourth over 1250m on this course last time. She is a filly with scope and should pose a threat.
WILLIAM‘S WOMAN finished 0.75 lengths behind the second selection last time. She is 0.5kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
Race 7
BLACK ERIKA followed up her maiden victory with a good third-place finish over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. The manner in which she finished off her race that day was encouraging. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. If not too far out of her ground turning for home, she may be the one to beat.
LADY LOOK ALIKE stayed on when fifth over 1500m last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. She finished 1 length behind the top choice in her penultimate run. She is 1kg better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
DU MAURIER stayed on when sixth over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. She is back against her own sex and on best form shown, she should be involved at the finish.
Race 8
JET FORCE is better than his last start in the Grade 1 L’Ormarins King’s Plate. His penultimate run in the Grade 2 Ridgemont Green Point Stakes catches the eye. The son of Master Of My Fate won his only attempt over this C&D. He is the class horse in the race and should take a power of beating.
POWERANDTHEGLORY has finished second in his last two starts over this distance. He is in a good space and Andrew Fortune may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
BEWARE finished 0.45 lengths behind the second choice last time. He is 1.5kgs worse off at the weights today and may have to settle for the same result.
Race 9
IT IS MY TIME took the lead at the 1000m mark last time and stayed on to finish fourth. It must be noted that Foudre has come out and won again since. Two of his three career victories have come over this distance. He is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back.
MARCUS AURELIUS stayed on when fourth over this C&D last time. He jumps from pole position and if getting away on terms, he should pose a massive threat.
BOOGIEFIED rallied late when second over this C&D last time. He returns from a 15-week break which may have done him the world of good. The 5yo gelding is likely to race on the pace and he may be hard to peg back if fit
