Green Glow to spring to light

A tricky C Stakes handicap heads up the card on the poly at Hollywoodbets today but one that could be fought out between the progressive three-year-olds Green Glow and Spaarne Rivier.

- ANDREW HARRISON

Dean Kannemeyer's charge Green Glow followed up his maiden win with a closefought victory over Master Du Rouvray over 1900m with the balance of the field in another race. He has a big weight but shed his maiden over the distance in impressive fashion.

Mike and Mathew de Kock's Spaarne Rivier was disappointing last run but also friendless in the market that may tell a tail.

However, he gets weight from Green Glow and may be more effective over this trip.

Ragnar The King

Of the balance, the year older Ragnar The King has been knocking at the door and closeup over course and distance last start while World Of Our Own is due a big effort.

In the first, how much longer do we stay with Xiphos to shed his maiden? He has had numerous chances but tends to run out of gas the last bit.

Rachel Venniker gives him some relief from the saddle that will help but he clearly cannot be relied upon. Gorgeous Bomb has shown some recent improvement and with only 50.5kg to shoulder she could finally run them out of it.

Susurrando was most disappointing when starting favourite last time out as Fine Dining made all, cruising home to victory. He could prove better this shorter trip.

Louis Goosen saddles the lightly raced Malshana Mou in the second who was narrowly beaten over course and distance last time out.

Craig Zackey stays with the ride and she can go one better. Berrington Blew is also lightly raced and raced green at her latest outing. The blinkers go on so watch for any market support.
