Hollywoodbets Scottsville
Race 3 – 13:45
1400m – Pound Bloodstock MR 92 Handicap
1 – The Shepherd
Breeding: Captain Of All – Pepperdine by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 1 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
His last start is best ignored as the Jockey was dislodged when he left the starting stalls. He is in good order heading into the race and is moving nicely. The son of Captain Of All jumps from pole position and he gets the services of Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Sean Veale. On his best form shown, he should be a leading contender in this contest.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:93. Ignore latest. Trainer’s only runner and can feature from pole.

Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 4 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
He has been disappointing in his last two starts. He is a horse that seems to prefer the polytrack but he has finished third in both his efforts over this course and distance. The son of Duke Of Marmalade is fit, well and he can improve to finish in the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:90. Placed in both C&D attempts. Can show.

Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 4 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He is holding his form nicely and has earned in his last three starts. The stable are very happy with him heading into this race. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa is booked to ride and from his handy draw of four, he should be involved in the fight to the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. Is 4kgs better off at the weights with number 6 on latest. Respect.

Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Serino Moodley
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 1 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He didn’t enjoy racing around the turn last time. His penultimate run when second over 1200m on this course was encouraging. The son of Rafeef is in good condition at home. Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Serino Moodley rides and we are hoping to see him finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:81. Faced stronger in latest. Chance if repeating good penultimate effort.
