Terminator to help out on difficult card

Terminator - Candiese Lenferna

Punters are in for a tricky day at Hollywoodbets Scottsville, with many open contests and betting moves likely to provide clues.

Race 1 sees Duncan Howells’ Perfume Power looking for overdue luck after a narrow defeat last time. Glen Kotzen holds a strong hand with Flying South and Third Winter, both showing improvement. Keep an eye on debutants Princess Of Gaul and Light Of Gabriel from the Kannemeyer yard.

Chapbook stands out in Race 2 with Richard Fourie up, while Boardwalk Breeze and Grand Force could be competitive.

Soho Star, narrowly beaten recently, looks the one to beat in Race 3, with weight swings in his favour over Vihaan’s Pride. Blinkered Cold Shine and stablemate Mojo Man are also worth watching.

Race 4 sees Abaddon dropping in class, with Mar Del Plata and Gorgeous Guy likely threats.

In Race 5, Mike Miller’s Soldier Boy gets weight relief and could follow up his surprise debut win. Beach Palace and Lake Como also warrant inclusion.

Race 6 is a tough fillies’ handicap, with Captain’s Pride leading the charge. Copacabana, Nellie Melba, and My Tue Love are in the mix.

One Smart Cookie chases four wins in a row in Race 7, facing Sonic Jet, Ice Rain, and others.

Skytrix could bounce back in Race 8, with Rani Tarabi and Rugger Lover also showing promise.

Finally, Race 9 might belong to Terminator, long overdue after several runner-up finishes. With a top draw and consistent form, he looks the day’s best bet. White Seahorse, El Rey Viene, and French Flame are also contenders.
