Snaith to give good counsel
The Mercury
|May 28, 2025
PUNTERS face a competitive card on the ‘poly at Hollywoodbets Greyville today. It is a ten-race card and Justin Snaith could hold some of the trump cards in Legal Counsel in the ninth and Goodnessgraciousme in the sixth. Legal Counsel can round off the Pick 6 in the Middle Stakes over 1400m although it will not be a pushover, like most of the races on the card. The three-year-old may just have needed his last run when starting favourite for The Sledgehammer at Hollywoodbets Scottsville.
Golden Destiny
He boasts excellent Cape form and can make amends. Dean Kannemeyer sends out what could possibly be Legal Counsel’s biggest threat in Golden Destiny who is better than his last effort and has his third run after a break. He shows promise and should be right up there. Thisiswhatitmeans won well last run when MJ Odendaal had him back on the poly but got a six-point rise in the handicap. However, he does look capable of going back-to-back. Nelson Bay has been in good form of late and loves this trip. He has the best of the draw and should be right up there again.
Snaith saddles Goodnessgraciousme in the Middle Stakes, sixth race on the card. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight raced against strong opposition in her KZN debut and is back over what looks to be a more suitable trip. She boasts some smart Cape form and should make her presence felt.
