Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Tuesday 7th July where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
ONTHEWINGSOFADOVE produced a promising debut effort over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. She showed speed but found one too good in the form of Sparkling Star. The daughter of What A Winter would have gained from the experience and if not too green around the turn, she may be the one to beat.
WORLD OF SECRETS has moderate form to her name. She was reported to have a mouth injury in her last two efforts. The booking of Richard Fourie is a big plus and she can improve to finish in the placings.
MIND OVER YOU is an unraced daughter of Vercingetorix from the James Crawford stable with Mickaelle Michel booked to ride. She is related to multiple winners including Mind Master and Alesian Chief. If not in need of the experience, she should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to her and the other unraced entrants.
Race 2
MORDECHAI produced an encouraging debut effort over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. He should have finished closer to the winner as he hung inwards in the final 300m. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The son of Hawwaam would have gained from the experience and should love the extra 250m on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
CALIFORNIA CAT is a son of Futura from the Lucinda Woodruff stable with Richard Fourie in the saddle. He is related to multiple winners including Celtic Voyager and Calvary. If not in need of the experience, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances.

Race 3
SPANISH WORLD showed good improvement when second over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she will love the rise to 1400m. The daughter of One World is a progressive type and in this field, she can shed her maiden tag.
NTIBINDI ran a creditable race when fourth over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. It must be noted that Before Sunrise and the second-place horse have come out and won since. If jumping on terms, she should pose a threat.
ODDS AND EVENS has shown good improvement in each of her races to date. She was outrun when second over 1200m last time. The daughter of Master Of My Fate is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. She is a solid back-up for the Justin Snaith stable.
Race 4
LIEFLING’S last two starts have been good. The manner in which she finishes off her races suggests that she will love the rise to 1800m. Callan Murray steps back into the saddle and with a bit of luck in running, she should go close.

Race 5
THE BIG BANG was slow into stride over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time, but stayed on to finish second. His effort when third over 1200m, three runs ago was encouraging. The son of One World meets the right field and if getting away on terms, he may be the one to beat.
PROTECTOR OF PEACE finished 0.4 lengths behind RACHETTU last time. He is 3kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough to turn the form around. He finished third in his only attempt over this C&D and is one of the leading contenders.
RACHETTU showed speed over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time but found one too good in the form of Coffee Crunch. He is drawn widest of all, but gets the services of Craig Zackey who will give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle.

DEVIL A SAINT has finished second in his last two starts. He raced from a handy position over 1400m last time before getting outrun late by Clark Griswold. He has won once and finished third once from three starts over this C&D. The son of Querari drops in class and from pole position, he can go one better.
RED DAWN finished 1.25 lengths behind the top selection last time. He is 1.5kgs worse off at weights today and may battle to turn the form around.
SMART HORSE was not beaten far over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He gets the services of Mickaelle Michel who takes the 1.5kgs off his back. The son of Heavenly Blue may be hard to peg back. consideration.
Race 7

He gets the services of 2.5kgs claiming Apprentice Sifisokuhle Bungane which will assist his cause. If getting away on terms, he can return to winning ways.
DANCE VARIETY is better than his last start in the Grade 3 Champagne Stakes. He returns from a 10-week break which may have done him the world of good. On the form of his penultimate run, he should be competitive.
BEWARE returns from a 14-week break, during which time he was gelded. He has won once and finished third once from three starts on this course. The son of Rafeef will be mowing down the frontrunners and cannot be discounted
