Star In Motion a bright bet

THE revamped Hollywoodbets Greyville polytrack received favourable reviews after the first meeting on the surface with runners able to lead or come from behind with little kick-back which was a bugbear on the older surface.

- ANDREW HARRISON

But punters face a trappy card when racing resumes on the poly today which could see some healthy dividends given the right play.

Star In Motion looks a bright bet in the card open-er with a run under his girth he could prove a little more experienced ahead of Glen Kotzen’s trio seemingly headed by debutante That'll Be The Day judged on jockey bookings. Doug Campbell’s gelding George’s Magic is the most experienced in the field and has shown some ability. He can improve on his last effort where he took on some promising opposition.

Malshana Mou

In the second, Malshana Mou has put in two smart showings over shorter for Tienie Prinsloo. She has drawn well and can go one better although she does face a competitive field. Louis Goosen’s filly Kali Bwana was a beaten weak favourite last run although she has put in two improved efforts. She took on winners last run. Scandalize is a Cape raider who has put in two modest efforts to date but likely to make good improvement over this trip. Alannah has a tricky draw to contend with but has made steady improvement and is tried over the trip.
