Durbanville Race 1 - Hollywoodbets Durbanville Welcomes You Maiden Plate
PEREGRINE FALCON (2) resumes from a spell. His debut effort two starts back when third of 13 over this distance at Kenilworth was a solid effort. He would have strengthened up and if not in need of this run he should be the one to beat. FENCING CAPTAIN (4) was running on too late when second over this course and distance last time. He is a progressive type and with Richard Fourie is in the saddle and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. CORK BAY (3) is an unraced son of Rafeef from the Andre Nel stable with Corne Orffer in the saddle. If not too green, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances. GALACTUS (1) finished fifth last start, beaten 7 lengths at Greyville All Weather over 1400m. Can finish in a place.
