Hollywoodbets Scottsville
Race 2 – 13:15
1400m – www.tabgold.co.za Maiden Plate
9 – El Capitan
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Baqueira by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 9 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 15/10
He returns from a 17-week break and is having his first run as a gelding. He is an athletic type and shouldn’t need this run. He is drawn awkwardly but has the gate speed to get himself into a decent position. The son of Rafeef should enjoy racing at Hollywoodbets Scottsville and he is a big runner.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 17 wks. Gelded 2024.08.13. Best MR:87. Good second in latest behind subsequent winner. Big chance.

Race 5 – 15:00
1000m – Gallop TV YouTube Channel MR 93 Handicap (F & M)
8 – Patants Heir
Breeding: William Longsword – Cosmic Light by Querari (GER)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 8 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
Her last start is best ignored as she went too fast. The daughter of William Longsword has come on from the run and she is doing nicely at home. The stable feels that she will bounce back to her best and she is expected to be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:86. Needed latest. Lerena rides and chance on previous form.

Breeding: William Longsword – Enchanting Cathy by Var (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 55.5kg
Draw: 7 (16 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He found a form return in his last two starts on this course. The son of William Longsword faces a difficult task at the weights. However, he is in very good order heading into this race. Calvin Habib rides and we are hoping for a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:97. Meets number 5 on identical weight terms. Can show.
