Hollywoodbets DURBANVILLE WELCOMES YOU MAIDEN PLATE 1000m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 16) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a genuine tempo. CALL OF THE KAROO (1) looks hard to beat. Has been runner-up both starts this campaign, the latest this course and distance but found one better. Has the inside and expected to go close. RUBY REX (3) resumes from a good break. Showed ability in first campaign placing two of four runs. Was showing good speed last couple and off the low draw should give a big sight fresh. STARTING POINT (6) is a three-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. From a very strong family, being by Gimmethegreenlight from the former top race mare All Is Secret. Promising type with leading rider aboard and should run boldly. Stablemate TAKE THAT (2) is also on debut. By Gimmethegreenlight out of Grade 3 winner Shamrock Wind. Top-three chance.
