Durbanville Race 1 - Hollywoodbets Durbanville Welcomes You Maiden Plate (F & M)
EBISU (2) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1250m at this track. Can make a winning return. EPERNAY (4) stepped out for her debut over 1200m at Kenilworth back on November 22 and finished fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Likely improver and worth following up. MEGHAN'S DIAMOND (1) was in the money two starts back at Kenilworth but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 7 lengths, at this track over 1250m. Gets chance to atone. FUTURE RED (7) is on debut. By Futura and comes from the James Crawford stable. From a good family of winners. Should be ready to fire.

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation third of 13 at this track September 27 over 1250m, 4 len behind Calanque with 58kg at $3.80. On debut seventh of 14 at Scottsville July 9 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Lucienne with 57kg at $8. Has plenty of scope for improvement this time in work. Goes close fresh.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, second last of 14 at Kenilworth on January 13 over 1200m, 7 len behind Seven No Trump with 60kg at $101. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.
