Today’s local racemeeting is at Hollywoodbets Durbanville with an eight-race programme carded for this afternoon.
This is the final racemeeting of 2023 at the Country Course, and while the fields are not large, the card is a competitive one!
The free-to-play Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge is available for all local racemeetings, so don’t forget to tip your way to the top of today’s leaderboard.
The first is due off at 12h55.

Grant van Niekerk rides Lickety Split from the Justin Snaith stable who takes her place in Race 2.
She is the best bet on the card and looks to break through after having finished second in her last three starts.
She should have finished closer to the winner that day as she had to be switched for running room at the 200m mark.
With a bit of luck in running, she should go one better.
Trainer Greg Ennion sends out Exceeder in Race 5.
He set the pace over this course and distance last time but found one too good in the form of Priceless.
The 6yo gelding meets similar company this afternoon and if putting his best foot forward, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Jockey Oswald Noach will not be riding today.
