With the spotlight clearly on the star-rich Hollywoodbets Durbanville racemeeting today, racing is back at Hollywoodbets Scottsville with eight races carded for this afternoon.
Don’t forget about the free-to-play Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge.
The first is due off at 12h45 with the lucky last set for 16h43.
Trainer Mark Dixon saddles Captain’s Christy in Race 2 and she is the best bet on the programme.
Reader Cecil Pienaar took this pic of Hollywoodbets Scottsville this morning – a perfect day for racing!
She fought hard in the Gr2 Debutante last time but found one too good in the form of Cala Muretta.
She returns from a 15-week break, during which time she would have strengthened up. The daughter of Captain Of All has won twice and finished third twice from five starts on this course.
She carries a light mass of 51.5kgs and if fit, she should take a power of beating.
Player X from the Paul Lafferty stable takes his place in Race 5. He ran a good race when second in his last start over 1900m on the polytrack.
The saddle slipped in running that day which didn’t help his chances. The son of Master Of My Fate is having his peak run today and should be cherry-ripe.
He tries the 2400m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he can shed his maiden tag.
