An exciting ten-race programme closes off the KZN Racing Season at Hollywoodbets Greyville today.
The bumper card included four Grade 1 races and the Grade 3 World Pool Gold Cup.
There is a R2 million Pick 6 carryover with a likely pool of R12 million.
Don’t forget about the free to play Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge and the first is due off at 11h10.
Gimme A Prince – looks a good thing from a nice draw over the 1200m today (Pic – Chase Liebenberg)
Gimme A Prince from the Dean Kannemeyer stable takes his place in the Grade 1 Mercury Sprint and he is the best bet on the programme. He was given a peach of a ride when winning the Grade 1 Golden Horse Sprint last time.
The son of Gimmethegreenlight is having his peak run today. He has finished second on this course and from his good draw of four, he should take a power of beating.
Trainer Sean Tarry saddles Future Pearl in the Grade 3 World Pool Gold Cup. He was an easy winner of the Grade 3 DStv Gold Vase last time.
The manner in which he quickened up and drew clear of the opposition was eye-catching. The son of Futura has won over this distance in the past. He has cracked a good draw of three and should follow up with another victory.
Zapatillas from the Brett Crawford stable represents decent each way value in the Grade 1 The HKJC Champions Cup.
He ran a good race when third in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge last time. The stable opted to miss the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Durban July and go straight for this race which may be ideal.
He has cracked a good draw of two and if all went well with his travels, he can notch up his fourth career victory.
Deryl Daniels is not riding today.
