He raced over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Sunday. The stable will see how he comes out of that race before making a decision on whether he will take his place in this contest. This is his favourite surface and if taking his place, he should run a positive race.

1400m – TABGold New Soccer Corners MR 82 Handicap
8 – Hope Is Power
Breeding: Soft Falling Rain – Sarasota by Kahal (GB)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: *Kobeli Lihaba -2.5kg
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 8 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He won a game race over 1200m on this course last time. The son of Soft Falling Rain will appreciate the step up to 1400m. He is in a good space and we expect him to run to his form. He does have strong claims with apprentice Kobeli Lihaba retaining the ride.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:89. Just won latest. Got three pound penalty and can repeat.

Breeding: Flower Alley (USA) – La Linea by Dynasty
Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Deryl Daniels

Draw: 9 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
First run for the Hollywood Syndicate. His last run when second over 2000m on the turf was very good. He has won on the polytrack previously. The son of Flower Alley is doing well and he has a winning chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:80. Beaten narrowly in last two runs. Tried hard in latest and has strong claims.
