Wednesday 14th October 2020
Hollywoodbets Greyville Polytrack
Race 6 – 15:20
1600m – Short Head FM 74 Merit Rated Handicap (F&M)
1 – Mocha Rose
Trainer: Cliffie Miller
Jockey: Jabu Jacobs (-2.5kg)
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 1 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
She disappointed last time out when finding it tough to overcome the wide barrier at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. From pole position this time, she should be able to find a prominent early position and if settling well, she should be well set up to put forward a big claim over this mile trip. The 2.5kg claim should help and if all goes to plan, we expect a decent effort from her on stable debut.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Howells D C-2020.07.29. Rested 11 wks. Best MR:78. First run for new stable, can improve.
Mocha Rose Landing Her 2nd Career Win
Race 8 – 16:30
1000m – www.tabgold.co.za Merit Rated 96 Handicap
4 – Candy Galore
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Warren Kennedy
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 4 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
She was a little unlucky last time out, when she seemed to blow her chances at the start of the race. Jumping outwards, she lost some ground and momentum which cost her dearly in the closing stages. Despite this, she gave an excellent account of herself to finish in third place and within just 0.80 lengths of the winner. From another handy draw, Warren Kennedy retains the ride and on current form in this class she looks to be one of the major contenders for the winner’s enclosure.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:96. 1000m specialist. Had excuses in latest and merits respect.
