Kannemeyer could hold the key

It is only a fortnight before the official start of South Africa’s Champion Season so punters need to pay close attention in the ensuing weeks if they are to try and second guess trainers and their strategies.

Justin Snaith’s Okavango being a case in point after his facile win at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday with Snaith sure to have a plan to get his charge into the Hollywoodbets Durban July with minimum weight.

Given that Hollywoodbets Scottsville is home to the first two Grl juvenile races for the season on what can be a tricky course for first time arrivals, the first two races today, the meeting postponed from Sunday, could provide possible pointers to the outcomes of the Grl Gold Medallion and the Grl Allan Robertson Championship.

Intensity

In the card opener for males, only Intensity, Call Me Wild, Dark Matter and Mighty Zambezi have made it to the racecourse. All made their debut’s behind impressive winner I'm A Fireball on today’s course with Dark Matter showing up best of the four. Experience should see them benefit with Robbie Hill’s runner seemingly the best of them. But there are a number of eye-catching first timers from top stables with Dean Kannemeyer saddling Star In Motion and Mike and Mathew de Kock sending out Yippee Kiyay. The market prices should be telling.

Punters face a similar dilemma in the fillies version.

Limitless Sky

Limitless Sky has improved with each outing and has gone well over course and distance while Kali Bwana was second best behind hot favourite and impressive winner Keukenhof last time out. Debutante’s to watch may be Kapture The Peace and Educator.
