Durbanville Race 1 - Hollywoodbets Durbanville Welcomes You Open Maiden
Very little form to go on from those to have raced. PRINCE OF EGYPT (11) has been freshened since a narrow third here last time. Close to a win and won't get a better chance. JOUEUR DE FLUTE (13) is also close to a maiden win. Tricky gate but has placed 6/13 overall and placed only try course and distance. Expected to feature again. BLAME IT ON ME (5) is mixing form but on the solid fourth here two back when beaten just over a length rates highly this line-up. MARCUS AURELIUS (7) was safely held at first two starts then given a break. Sure to have improved and can sneak into the finish fresh.

Was at long odds at debut, 7th of 12 at this track on August 30 over 1000m, 13 len behind Magical Place with 58kg at $34. Should improve sharply with the run under the belt.

Second run back. Comes off a 39-day let-up. First-up after three months second last of 12 at this track on August 30 over 1500m, 23 len behind Yamazaki carrying 57kg at $41. Previously second-up 12th of 16 at Kenilworth on June 17 over 1200m, slow going 11 len behind Saudi Cat carrying 60kg at $81. Unlikely to threaten.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 10 at this track on September 13 over 1250m, 11 len behind Astronomical Boy with 60kg at $101. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last preparation sixth of 12 at Kenilworth July 10 over 1200m, on heavy track; 12 len behind Blind Date with 60kg at $6. On debut fifth of 9 at Kenilworth June 12 over 1000m, soft track; 2.75 len behind Spirit carrying 60kg at $17. Better for the campaign and can run well fresh.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when ran last of 13 at Kenilworth on April 14 over 1100m, slow going 13 len behind All The Rage carrying 60kg at $34. Solid return wouldn't surprise.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 12 at this track on September 9 over 1250m, 0.6 len behind Typically French with 55kg at $3.50. Before that 4th of 11 at Kenilworth on August 13 over 1200m, slow going 7 len behind Black Eagle carrying 58kg at $13.50. Not far away of late. Close to a win and gets chance.
