GOING: GS

Hollywoodbets DURBANVILLE WELCOMES YOU OPEN MAIDEN 1000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 16)    

Hot pace certain with El Cohete, Lifelong Dance and Roman Beauty keen to take up the running. Weak maiden. EL COHETE (4) is yet to break through in seven runs. Was on speed and there until late before being swamped last time over 1000m at this track on September 2. That was open class and comes back to maiden grade. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. MADE IN CHELSEA (6) resumes from a spell of four months. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 1400m at Kenilworth. Has ability and is a solid chance. SICILY (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when fifth in a 1250m contest at this track seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. LANA'S GAL (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 6 lengths away in eighth over 1000m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
