Racing Is At Country Course Today

First is off at 12h45

On a cloudy Saturday in the Cape, Hollywoodbets Durbanville is racing alongside Turffontein this afternoon and nine races are carded.

Don’t forget about the free to play Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge and the first is due off at 12h45.

Triptothewoods from the Justin Snaith takes her place in Race 1 and she should give punters a good start to the day.

She should have finished closer to the winner last time as she was cramped for galloping room from the 250m mark to the 100m mark.

It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. She finished 0.5 lengths behind Lady Renee in her penultimate run. She is 5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. With luck in running, she should be the one to beat.

In-form Greg Ennion saddles Wyag today

Trainer Greg Ennion  saddles Wyag in Race 8. He finished 2.25 lengths behind Dance Variety last time.

He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has won once, finished second once and third twice from as many starts over this course and distance.

He is likely to be switched off near the rear of the field from his awkward draw of eight and will be mowing down the frontrunners.

Race 1 – 12:45, Race 2 – 13:15, Race 3 – 13:50, Race 4 – 14:25, Race 5 – 15:00,
