Rachel Venniker, back in action after a leg break, rides for Michael Roberts at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Sunday and partners Black Frost in the opener. The gelding’s shown ability, ran well here before, and Venniker’s 1.5kg claim boosts his chances.
Bourbon’s Beast improved last time and the Whitehead stable is firing. Mohave Prince should improve with experience, while Kannemeyer’s regally bred Green Gateway debuts and is worth a market watch.
Chimes At Midnight, Zimbabwe-bred, has two good runs and should be competitive with a 4kg claimer in Race 2. Miss Kansas disappointed last run but has a big chance if bouncing back to her debut form. Dream Decision should come on from a green debut, while consistent Queen Fenn can be thereabouts.
Race 3 looks open. Catch A Penny has never missed the money in nine starts and should be there again despite facing males. Next Of Kin was a beaten favourite last time but is progressive. Digital Asset keeps improving and should run well.
Flying South may be the day’s best bet for Glen Kotzen, chasing a quick double. She’s improving and well drawn in a modest field. Miss Twinkle can improve sharply after a green debut.
Stamina is key in the fifth. Lightly weighted Lady My Lady goes 2400m for the first time. Escapologist loves this course and distance. Our Lady Fate is stepping up but should stay.
Icy Eleanor is lightly raced but promising in Race 6, while Vision To Achieve is consistent. Happy Analia gets blinkers; Hurricane Cat is quick and could repeat.
Thesupernovastar improved last time and rates well in Race 7. Beach Palace and Attaboy benefit from senior jockeys. Sail To The Moon is interesting on KZN debut.
In the last, Ethereal View, Radu, Prom Queen, and Skytrix all hold winning claims.
