Champion trainer Justin Snaith continues to dominate the season and could add another winner at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Tuesday with In A Timely Manner in Race 8 over 1600m.
The four-year-old has been competing against stronger opposition than he meets here, finishing behind the likes of Anotherdanceforme, Chasingtherainbow, and Blind Date. His latest 0.4-length defeat suggests a breakthrough win is near, and from a favourable draw with JP van der Merwe aboard, this looks an ideal opportunity.
Katsu is a major danger carrying just 50kg after contesting stronger races, although his modest strike rate and three-month break temper confidence. It Is My Time is another consistent performer who should again be in the finish.
A fascinating clash awaits in Race 6 between improving youngsters Objet D’Art and Give It Laldy, with the former narrowly preferred after meeting his rival on 2kg better terms. However, Give It Laldy has the benefit of pole position and Gavin Lerena in the saddle.
Earlier on the card, Warrior Of Destiny (Race 1) should confirm recent form over Royal Light, while Le Concierge looks the standout in the first apprentice race after an encouraging last-start effort.
Trainer Adam Marcus holds a strong hand in Race 3 with Ruby Rex and Black Erika, but Craig Zackey’s decision to ride Ruby Rex swings the vote her way.
Trip To Camelot seeks a hat-trick in Race 4 over 2000m and looks well suited to the longer trip, though Chance Encounter, Fort Liam, Phantom Man, and Backinthefastlane provide stiff opposition.
Beer With The Boys has returned to form and appeals in Race 5, while Take It As Red looks well placed in the second apprentice event.
The finale promises plenty of interest with the returning Miami Summer meeting last-start winner Clark Griswold, while Signor Dante and Gold Dust add further depth to an excellent contest.
