Blinkers the key to Spinmyangelsspin

ANY chance of Queen Braganza lining up for the Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas next month were seemingly blown out of the water as she finished down the field in the Class 4 Handicap that headed the card at Hollywoodbets Greyville yesterday. She needed to win and win convincingly to booked her Guineas berth but she drifted alarmingly in the betting and it was not to be as she faded tamely.After significant overnight rain the meeting was switched to the poly track but even that may no be an excuse as Spinmyangelsspin made short work of her rivals.

Former assistant to Mike de Kock, Wengi Masawi and his assistant Megan Trott, are the new names on the block assisted by Hollywood Racing who registered their 750th winner as owners.

Spinmyangelsspin arrived at Ashburton with some modest Western Cape form but has come good since the addition of blinkers to her racing equipment.

She took on a useful handicap field yesterday and won with authority.

The well fancied Poursomesugaronme came from well of the pace to snatch second ahead of Mrsglittersparkles.

Louis Goosen's charge Blazing Fury drifted like and untethered barge in a current on debut and after showing early pace he ran out of steam, finishing a distant third.

There were no mistakes yesterday as current championship log leader Craig Zackey settled his mount in off the pace set by Sun In My Pocket and Blazing Fury quickened up smartly to put the race to bed a furlong out.

Place Of Practice stayed on for second ahead of favourite Eastern Highlands who was always wide but doing his best work late. Zackey was confident in his post-race interview that the son of Vercingetorix is a horse to keep an eye on.
