Plattner’s Zeitz Shouldn’t Miss Today

First starts at 12h05

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

Don’t forget about the free to play Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge with the first due off at 12h05.

Trainer Andre Nel sends out Zeitz for leading owner Sabine Plattner in Race 5 and he is the best bet on the card.

He has produced two good second place finishes to date.

He was touched off over 1250m last time.

The son of Vercingetorix is bred to enjoy the rise to 1600m. He meets the right field and with a bit of luck from his awkward draw of nine, he should take a power of beating.

Captain’s Destiny from the Vaughan Marshall stable may be the horse to close off the meeting.

She was unlucky not to have won her last start over this course and distance. She was cramped for galloping room at the 200m mark and finished off her race strongly.

The daughter of William Longsword is back against her own sex and may be the one to side with.

Please note that Anthony Andrews is not riding today.
