Crawford’s runner looks the business

RACE one at the Country track on Sunday gets underway at 12:20 PM, and the ninth and final race is at 5:00 PM. Hollywoodbets Durbanville has been a buzz of late, and one of the reasons surely has to be the action-packed racing that has been thrilling fans.

In the first, a Maiden Plate for fillies over 1000m, looks to be a match between Call Of The Karoo and Ruby Rex. Call Of The Karoo is banging at the door and looks ready to score. Ruby Rex is returning from a 21-week rest, which sways me into the camp of Glen Kotzen’s runner.

Plenty of progression can be expected from Malibu Blitz. Respect and include her in all bets.

Race two sees a well-bred first-timer from the James Crawford barn.

Slash ‘N Burn

Slash ‘N Burn start from the deepest gate but might be able to overcome this on debut and make a serious race of it. Watch the betting trends as race time looms. Sicily improved as the yard expected last time, and he can go one better. The obvious horse to beat is Caribbean Gold, who caught the eye on debut when finishing just behind Sicily in the race won by Lyrical Gangster. It must be said that Lyrical Gangster has run an attractive race since.
