Draw: 8 (10 Runners)

She did not enjoy the polytrack in her comeback run last time. The filly has come on since the run and she will enjoy the return to Hollywoodbets Scottsville. Rachel Venniker takes the 1.5kgs off her back and we are expecting a big effort from her.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Showed signs of needing latest. Big chance on previous form.

Race 3 – 13:55
1750m – Call Telebet Track & Ball Fixed Odds On 031 314 1155 MR 78 Handicap
3 – El Rey Viene
Breeding: William Longsword – Brave Bid by Qui Danzig (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 3 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He is going through his paces nicely at home and is very well in himself. He did travel too hard in the early stages of his last start and the stable have opted to remove the blinkers. If Keagan de Melo is able to switch him off early, he should have an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2022.10.04. Blinkers OFF. Best MR:84. Fair latest over this C&D despite over racing. Chance if settles.

She produced a decent comeback run last time and goes into this race a much fitter horse. The daughter of William Longsword carries a handy galloping mass of 52kgs and is expected to be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Fair comeback run. Shoulders a light weight and can feature.

Draw: 8 (8 Runners)

She has been disappointing in her last two runs over 1400m on the Hollywoodbets Greyville polytrack. Her last creditable effort came over this distance. She is back on the straight course and we are hoping to see her return to form.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:92. Disappointing in last two runs against males. Drops back to 1200m.

He returns to KZN after a successful Western Cape campaign. He is fit and well heading into this race. This will be his first run at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on the inside course and if suited, a very good run is expected from him.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:81. Brings decent Western Cape form. Should be one of the leading contenders.

Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 4 (8 Runners)

He is racing consistently well and has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. He drops back to the 1400m and gets the services of 1.5kgs claiming apprentice Siphesihle Hlengwa. Another honest effort is expected.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. Placed over this C&D in penultimate start and has claims.
