A close inspection of weight turnarounds reveals a very interesting hypothesis in an open A Stakes over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville today.
Despite a negative swing in the weights, Arctic Wizard is considered a main threat because he is still relatively untapped and possibly moving towards his peak now having just turned four-years-old. He surely has a stakes win in the locker. Raven Black and Ziyasha are the most interesting runners in the race. Raven Black has been bereft with soundness issues. He is six-years-old and having only his seventh career start. Trainer James Crawford praises his natural ability and is of the opinion if he had no problems, he would be among the elite South African sprinters.
Ziyasha had a profitable Cape summer last season claiming the Bantry Bay Stakes over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, toppling some big names in the process. This is his seasonal debut so he will likely step forward with the run under the belt. Calvin Habib is reported to be sticking with him in Cape Town through the summer with Sean Veale likely choosing I Am Giant.
