GOING: G

HOLLYWOODBETS DURBANVILLE WELCOMES YOU MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail out 2m on back straight, with a 4m spur at approximately the 550m mark  

Many of these step out for the first time so a frantic pace is likely early on over this sharp journey. BE MERRY (9) resumes from a spell after having finished third of eight over 1400m. The drop to 1000m should suit and she should be the one to beat. LOVE STORY (1) ran a fair race on debut over this distance at Kenilworth last start when finishing fourth of 12 when sent out at long odds. She resumes from a spell and jumping from the inside gate has top-three claims. TIMELINE (2) is likely to race up on the speed from her good draw of two and following a last start fourth of 12 at this track may be hard to peg back. PINK PIGEON (3) is a well bred three-year-old filly on debut. She has drawn a nice gate and should be finishing in the money.
