Hierarchy books her Cape ticket

THE spring rains have arrived which is good news for Hollywoodbets Scottsville currently undergoing spring treatment, but not so much for the turf at Hollywoodbets Greyville where rain over the past week forced Friday evening’s race meeting to be switched to the poly track.

In the past, the switch to the poly would have resulted in a multitude of scratchings but since the revamp of the synthetic surface, most trainers will have been more than happy with the switch.

Hierarchy has always given the impression that she is a filly out of the top drawer and she confirmed that opinion in the Progress Plate that headed the card.

It was a small but fairly useful field but Hierarchy made short work of her opposition, coming home hands and heels under Kabelo Matsunyane. Run out of it into second by Major Tommie in her seasonal debut over the Hollywoodbets Scottsville 1200m, there was no mistakes this time out as Matsunyane took her to the front and was not for the catching, drawing away to win as she liked with second-placed Buttercup Baby throwing in the towel with a furlong to run.
