Punters have a tough meeting in store for them at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Monday when they race on the Polytrack, and they will need to find a winner early in the day.
And although Guest Getorixx is lowly rated and possibly only modest she could prove bet in the opening race, a Maiden Plate for fillies and mares over 1000m.
This Vercingetorix filly showed improvement when runner-up behind Vision Of Will and followed that up with another second behind Namaqua Dove. This time she could go one better.
Trainer Alyson Wright has engaged Keagan de Melo to ride this lightly races four-year-old daughter of Vercingetorix and he is currently in top form.
A wide draw is not always a bad thing when it comes to racing on the Polytrack so Clean State should give a good account of himself in Race 2, a Maiden Plate over 1600m.
This Garth Puller-trained gelding is consistent and has no problems with the course and distance.
Consistency is also a trait of the Paul Peter-trained Peteca in Race 3, a Maiden Plate over 2000m, and the Querari gelding is drawn well so could get the run of the race.
It is always a tough task to beat the handicappers’ penalties so one must give Michael Roberts-trained Patronage a lot of credit.
Four wins in his last six starts all over the course and distance of Race 5, a MR 80 Handicap over 1400m, suggest you leave him out of your perms at your peril.
