There are some interesting horses lining up in the Western Cape at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on 9 September 2025 in their eight-race card.
Race 2: Eisteddfod has run twice, finishing fourth both times, and will be making her course debut but from a tricky draw. She surely has plenty more to offer, and if she makes the necessary progression, she could be hard to beat despite the wide starting gate. There are others with chances who are loudly knocking on the door for a win, but she could have too much progression in her favor. She comes from the in-form Greg Ennion yard.
Race 3: This race is over 1250m, and here Eternal Diamond catches the eye and is the first choice. He has made steady inroads each time he has come to the racecourse and could be cherry ripe for the victory. Sean Veale would have gotten to know his every stride and will be looking for a winning run today. The fourth, Morfeliha, is the suggestion as the winner. She is by One World and is coming along with racing experience. She does take a drop in distance, which is a small concern, but nevertheless, from a good gate in what looks like the right field, she is still the first choice. Xtines Princess is an entriguing runner, being by Kingman out of a Rip Van Winkel mare. She could be anything. Watch the betting trends as race time looms.
Race 5: The suggested banker on the card races in the fifth race over 1400m. United Front caught the eye when making a magical debut but followed up with a way below-par effort when sent off at restrictive odds. He gets gate 1 and his regular rider, Sean Veale, and if he returns to and builds off his debut effort, he will be hard to oppose. He’s banker material.
Race 6: Rockanrollin rises in distance from 1200m to 1400m, which should be to his liking. He is by none other than Wootton Bassett out of a Fastnet Rock mare. How’s that for a pedigree! His two runs have been encouraging, and today, from a good gate, he looks to be the one they all have to fear the most.
Race 8: The last race will run at 5:05 p.m., and the rapidly improving Naretoi seems to have progressed with the headgear. He is from the yard of James Crawford and will be ridden by Chad Little. You have to like the manner in which this son of Danon Platina has gone about his business thus far. The win seems near, and its predicted to be on the day.
