Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Wednesday 21st January where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
RAFFISH TREND may not have seen out the 1400m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She finished 3.25 lengths behind GIMME THE POWER in her penultimate run. She is 4kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She has scope and may be the one to side with.
GIMME THE POWER was her own worst enemy over 1400m last time as she over raced in the early stages. Her penultimate run when second over 1200m catches the eye. From her good draw of two, she should be involved at the finish.
MEGHAN‘S DIAMOND took the lead at the 350m mark last time before getting touched off by Cutie Patootie. She finished 4.45 lengths behind the second choice in her penultimate run. She is 2kgs worse off at the weights today and may battle to turn the tables.
Race 2
PRAIRIE DAWN should have won his last start over 1500m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The son of The United States should love the extra 100m on offer. He is drawn widest of all, but gets the services of Andrew Fortune who will give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
MERCENARY ran a good race when second over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. The son of Rafeef is coming along the right way and is one of the leading contenders.
ZAGREB stayed on when fifth over 1400m last time. The son of Vercingetorix will love the step up to 1600m. He jumps from a good draw of three and should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 3
WHO IS SHE showed good improvement when fourth over 1400m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Hawwaam steps up to the mile and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she may have more to come.
RARE EARTH stayed on at the finish when fourth over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. Corne Orffer is likely to race her on the speed and she may be hard to peg back.
ELISA MBALI stayed on at the finish when fifth over 1400m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Royal Mo should love the rise to 1600m and she cannot be discounted.
Race 4
PHANTOM MAN set the pace over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time before getting outrun late. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. Andrew Fortune is likely to adopt the same tactics from pole position and the combination may be hard to peg back.
WALOYO YAMONI‘S last two starts with the blinkers fitted have been good. He steps up to 2000m and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he should pose a threat.
SPANISH VERSE lacked extra late over 1500m last time. He finished 0.4 lengths behind the second choice in his penultimate run. He is 0.5kgs worse off at the weights and may have to settle for the same result.
Race 5
TOTHEMOONANDBACK has finished second in his last two starts. He stayed on at the finish over 2500m last time. The son of Twice Over drops back in class and can notch up his fourth-career victory.
MIDWAY is better than his last start as he was reported to be coughing. He has won once and finished third once from four starts on this course. If putting his best foot forward, he should be involved at the finish.
BEER WITH THE BOYS stayed on when second over 1800m last time. He finished 1.4 lengths behind GOLD INDEX in his penultimate run. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish. He is having his peak run today and should be cherry- ripe.
Race 6
ACT OF GRACE was a tad disappointing over 1600m last time. Her two starts prior to that outing over this distance were good. She takes a drop in class and despite her big mass of 62kgs, she should give the males a run for their money.
THE NIGHT FERRY has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. He was outrun late over 1600m last time. The son of Twice Over drops back to 1400m and should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
LOVERS LANE lost a length leaving the start last time and stayed on to finish fifth. He has won once, finished second three times and third once from ten starts on this course. The son of Crusade will be mowing down the frontrunners at the finish.
Race 7
CHAMPAGNE MAC showed speed over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time and stayed on to finish third. The blinkers seem to have done the trick on the son of Trippi. Keagan de Melo retains the ride and the combination may find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.
COUNTRY TIME finished 3.5 lengths behind the top choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and she may have to settle for the same result.
BONNE BOUCHE finished 1.25 lengths behind HIAWATHA GOLDBERG last time. She is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. Andrew Fortune retains the ride and she should give the males a run for their money.
Race 8
EISTEDDFOD should have finished closer last time as she hung outwards in the final 300m. She has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. The daughter of Potala Palace drops back in class and if keeping on a straight line, she should go close.
STAR WORLD ran a fair race over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. She won her maiden over this C&D in her penultimate run. Richard Fourie steps back into the saddle and she is one of the leading contenders.
WYZE DECLARATION won a good race when shedding her maiden tag over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. The daughter of Declarationofpeace takes on stronger, but she has scope and should be up to the task at hand
