Whiteleaf Hills returns as the lone representative for the Hollywood Syndicate this weekend, after a nice win over the course and distance last time out. He runs this Friday 16th August 2019 against some competitive opposition, but see more about his chances and the final field here.
Friday 16th August 2019
Fairview Polytrack
Race 4 – 14.30
2200m – MR 74 Handicap
8 – Whiteleaf Hills
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: Muzi Yeni
Wgt: 52.5kg
Draw: 7(10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
After losing on objection in his penultimate start, it was great to see him follow that up with a win. It took a very smart ride by Winning Form sponsored, Muzi Yeni, to get him home on that occasion and he retains the ride as the stable elect here. He has landed an improved draw this time around and as such, won’t have be used up early on, to find a handy position. The stable have reported that he is as “fit as a fiddle” and due to put in another competitive effort. As such, we’ll give him another each way chance with that light galloping weight on his back.
Winning Form Comment: Overdue winner last time. Drawn well, chance if repeating.
