A competitive eight race programme awaits punters on the poly track at Hollywoodbets Greyville this Monday.
Fibonacci from the Vaughan Marshall yard in race three which is the opening leg of the Pick 6 looks to be a ready made banker. It’s not the strongest of fields with respect to all other runners but he has the scope to deliver here. Seane Veal stays aboard and his comments were very encouraging prior to his last start.
Hatta is holding his form well for trainer Michael Roberts in race four. He get the claimer up once again and is sure to run well here however there are plenty dangers. Mark Dixon saddles Maggie Tee with the jockey booking of Keagan De Melo. Despite the wide draw she will be suited to a hot tempo and will be flying at them late in the day.
Shaken Not Stirred is a horse who has a high cruising speed and is a very tough individual. She is capable of doing work in a race and still able to produce a big finish so its worth including her in all bets.
In race 5 Birdwatcher gets the nod to win. The Duncan Howells trained daughter of Visionaire may have been unlucky in the last start when having too much ground to make up.
She now has a strong rider up, S’manga Khumalo and if he can place here correctly she will be flying late and could end up in the winners box.
Kingsmeads Krystal is very capable on her day and shouldn’t be far back. Siphesihle Hlengwa will claim 1.5kgs of her back for the inform yard of Gareth Van Zyl. She has solid credentials and should be included in all bets.
Mission Rocks won extremely well in her last start however she had plenty in her favour and seemed to skip away at the right time. If she has things go her way once again she should contest the finish.
New Orleans in race six is holding solid form. The Carl Hewitson trained grey daughter of What A Winter looks the horse to beat with consistent recent placings. The Paul Gadsby trained Vision Of Will may have been unlucky in her second last start and shouldn’t be ignored. The fact that she has an eye catching jockey booking speaks volumes so include her in all bets.
Overall it looks to be a tricky card however healthy dividends look to be on offer.
