The R1 million Gr1 Douglas Whyte Stakes Grade is the opening leg of the projected R15 million Pick 6 pool at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday.
Barend Botes star 2yo Quid Pro Quo has pulled a wide draw, but has not been beaten since winning her maiden at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on 18 February 2024 and goes for her fifth straight win on the trot.
She can make history on Sunday!
Michele Wing’s preview includes Trainer / Jockey comments (runners in current betting order)
- Quid Pro Quo : “You have the confidence in her that when she sees daylight, it’s all over. She has a brilliant turn of foot. S’Manga was concerned about the way she pulled up (last start). She is sound and had a bit of a puffy near-fore joint, which we’ve been sitting on all along, but no unsoundness or anything of that kind. She’s doing very well. Besides the draw, we have very high expectations”, Barend Botes.
- Lock and Key : “Her form is unbelievable. We’ve got Keagan de Melo, but a wide draw. We do give her a chance and will be running on strongly at them”, Chad Little.
- World Of Alice : “She’s a progressive filly and coming along the right way. Draw is a bonus. Looks like the Botes and Kotzen fillies are the ones to beat, but they’re both drawn deep. She’s not out of it and should be right there”, Sean Tarry.
- Spirit Of Levana : “She beat the colts last time. She’s drawn out at 9, but Gavin (Lerena) is cool, calm and collected. I think he’ll suit her as she is a feisty filly … I’m sure he’ll get on with her!”, Chad Little.
- Fatal Flaw : “She’s come out of her last race very well. She needed it and has come on a lot from there. I really like this filly and think she’ll be in the first 2 or 3 on the day”, James Crawford.
- Whistle The Tune : “She was an immature filly when we brought her here, but she’s started to pick up momentum. She should have run 2nd the other day, but got badly interfered with. Beautiful draw and she retains Richard (Fourie). Richard had the pick of the 3 and has opted to ride her”, Chad Little.
