Hollywoodbets Scottsville
Race 1 – 12:20
1200m – Spanish Galliard Maiden Plate (F & M)
2 – Izibulo
Breeding: Lancaster Bomber (USA) – Talitha Borealis by Ideal World (USA)
Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 2 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She is looking very good and has come on since her encouraging debut effort. She was unlucky in her first outing and will love the rise to 1200m. The daughter of Lancaster Bomber is working well, a good run is expected, and she should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Eye-catching debut performance on this course. Should be one of the leading contenders.

1400m – Beach Beauty MR 94 Handicap
4 – Queen Of Smoke
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Kwinta by Kahal (GB)
Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 4 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
Due to the lack of races for her, she meets a competitive field and faces the males. This race will be used as a stepping stone to keep her fitness levels up. She jumps from a good draw of four and we are hoping to see some improvement.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:94. Has lost best form and needs to improve.

He returns from a 13-week break. He has progressed very nicely over the past few weeks and his work has been solid. The son of Captain Of All is carrying a bit of condition and is expected to be in need of this outing. The stable expect him to produce an encouraging return to the races.

Winning Form Comment: Ex Van Zyl G-2024.02.24. Best MR:111. Back at Howells camp. Expect big run.
