Durbanville Race 1 - Hollywoodbets Durbanville Welcomes You Maiden Plate
PAST AND PRESENT (1) raced from a handy position over 1800m last time and tried hard all the way to the line when finishing second of nine as the favourite. It must be noted that the winner of that last race has come out and won again since. He tries the 2400m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer can go one better. WOOD WORLD (4) ran a good race when finishing third of eight over 2000m last time. He steps up to 2400m and the blinkers have been removed. Gavin Lerena may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. ARIOVISTUS (3) is better than his last start run for seventh of nine over 1600m would suggest. He steps up to 2400m which may suit him well. He has scope and from his good draw of three can improve to finish in the placings. TOWNSMAN (6) is a seven-start maiden who returned from a spell last time and finished last of nine at this track over 1250m. A bold showing is expected with added fitness this time.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd of 9 at Kenilworth on February 26 over 1800m, 1.3 len behind Umfula carrying 56.5kg at $2.30. The run before that 2nd of 8 at Kenilworth on February 5 over 1800m, 1.75 len behind Red Dawn carrying 57kg at $5.50. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.

At the latest run 8th of 11 at this track on March 5 over 1800m, 8 len behind Strawberry Thief carrying 54kg at $126. The race before that ran last of 11 at Kenilworth on February 5 over 1800m, 99 len behind Double Dash with 60kg at $126. Finds a few better today. Can't recommend.
