GOING:

Hollywoodbets DURBANVILLE WELCOMES YOU MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 24)    

Pace looks sure to be genuine with Fort Yukon and Nomore Bullets matching motors, closely followed by Super Viking. FORT YUKON (4) has placed in two of his last four but last start stuck on strongly at first try at 1400m and was beaten just a length. Looks suited by the extra ground and expected to go close in a weak race. TAKETHEGREENLIGHT (5) wasn't far away first up last start when fourth over 1400m at Kenilworth. Will appreciate the longer journey with that run under the belt. Sure to measure up. FROM THE GET GO (6) returned from a spell six weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1600m at this track. Much improved run. Strips fitter and can find winning ways. BOURBON KING (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Kenilworth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
