Sunday 14 January 2024
Hollywoodbets Scottsville
Race 3 – 13:45
1600m – Mtoto Maiden Plate (F & M)
4 – Ruthlizz Star
Breeding: Silvano (GER) – Mkushi Gold by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Cole Dicken
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 4 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
She is a filly that will be at her best over further but due to the lack of work from the rain, the stable feel that the 1600m will bring her on nicely for races over further. She is doing well at home and we are hoping to see further improvement.
Winning Form Comment: Showed some improvement with blinkers last time. May have more to come.

Race 4 – 14:20
1950m – Intrepidity Maiden Plate
3 – Accommodator
Breeding: Querari (GER) – Jade Vine by Argonaut
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: S’manga Khumalo
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 3 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 50/1
He is still showing more in his work at home than he what he shows at the races. The son of Querari steps up to 1950m and his preparation hasn’t been perfect due to the rain. He is ideally drawn in barrier three with S’manga Khumalo in the saddle. We are hoping to see improvement.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Gelded 2023.09.13. Can show improvement with Khumalo in the saddle.

Race 5 – 14:55
1200m – Baratha MR 94 Handicap (F & M)
9 – Sashay Away
Breeding: Var (USA) – Rockaberry Lane by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: *Trent Mayhew -4.0kg
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 9 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
She returns from a 26-week break and is having her first run for the Alyson Wright. With all the rain and waterlogged tracks, the stable feel that she will need the run. This outing will bring her on for future races.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Muscutt PB-2023.07.16. Rested 26 wks. Best MR:99. Stable debut. Can improve if fit.

Race 6 – 15:35
1000m – Super Quality African Holly Handicap
2 – Qhawe Lami
Breeding: Duke Of Marmalade (IRE) – Vice Versa by Var (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Muzi Yeni
Wgt: 53.5kg
Draw: 2 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
The stable was disappointed with his last start over this distance at Turffontein. He will be fitted with the blinkers for the first time which should keep his mind on the task at hand. He carries a nice weight of 53.5kgs and we are hoping to see him return to best form.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:97. Finished second in only attempt on this course. Blinker strike.

Race 8 – 16:45
1600m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 66 Handicap
4 – Allaroundtheworld
Breeding: Oasis Dream (GB) – Same Jurisdiction by Mambo In Seattle (USA)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Cole Dicken
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 4 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
The stable would have been happier to see him racing over further but due to the lack of work from the rain, the stable feel that this run will bring him on nicely. He is suited to this course and from his handy draw of four, he is expected to finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. Finished right behind number 6 in latest. Big danger.
