Marcus Can Show Who’s Boss

First race off @ 12h45

Hollywoodbets Durbanville plays host to a seven-race programme this afternoon.

The first is due off at 12h45 and the lucky last is set for 16h20.

A reminder again that the revamped free-to-enter Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge is now run on all local racemeetings, as well as on Singapore and Hong Kong fixtures.

Get your entry in today by 12h35 latest, please!

The new prize payouts formulae means that besides the R5 000 daily must-be-won prize, which is allocated to the top 20 finishers on the leaderboard for every challenge race meeting, the all-or-nothing 100% clean sheet jackpot prize will now be determined by the number of runners at the race meeting, multiplied by R10 000 per unit, for all venues.

And as an added incentive, every player who wagers R50 or more on the Bet Slip generated by the Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge entry, will automatically have their potential winning payout from the competition, doubled!

Nile The Boss from the Adam Marcus stable may give punters a good start to the day.

He produced a promising debut effort over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, three weeks ago.

She understandably raced green, but the manner in which she finished off her race was encouraging.

The daughter of Potala Palace would have gained from the experience and will enjoy the extra 250m on offer.

With the natural improvement that is expected, she should take a power of beating.

Vaughan Marshall saddles Paper Trail in the lucky last and he represents decent each-way value.

He raced wide around the turn over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, led turning for home but did not go on with the effort.

He has won twice and finished third once from as many starts over this course and distance.

The son of Legislate has dropped to a competitive rating and with just 54kgs on his back, he may be the one to cause the upset.

  • The Bipot starts in the first race at 12h45

  • The Pick 6 starts in the second race at 13h20
