Durbanville Race 5 - Race Coast Incentives Powered By Hollywoodbets Progress Plate
RICH MAN'S WORLD (6) Fresh after a break. Was agonizingly close last start at Scottsville and putting a tidy record together. Has plenty of early speed. Worth an investment. BEWARE (1) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Ran well when 3rd last time here and has drawn to do little work. Hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Right in this. SHEZARIPPER (5) Fresh from a break. Narrowly beaten last run here and promising career start. Suited by the weight drop. One of the major players. HERO'S JOURNEY (2) First up. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at this track and has a good draw. Gets some weight taken off. Use betting as a guide and is worth watching.

Returns from a four-month spell after a third in Open company at this track, beaten just over half a length as the well-supported favourite. His Kenilworth fifth prior was also sound, beaten just over a length in 3yo+ Open grade, and he owns one win and two placings from four starts at this venue. First-up fitness is the question, but his local record keeps him in the each-way mix.

Returns from four months off with solid prior-campaign figures, including a 2yo MPLTE win at Kenilworth before a second in Open grade at this track, beaten just over two lengths after firming from bigger odds. He has placed both starts at this venue, but 1250m is new ground and the top few bring sharper profiles today.

Returns from a six-month spell after finishing sixth over 1600m at Greyville, beaten just under four lengths at big odds. His earlier Kenilworth fifth behind Star Major was plain enough, but he is proven at 1250m with a win and a placing from two attempts. That keeps him in the minor-money conversation if he comes back ready.

Returns from four months off after finishing second in a 2yo Open at this track, beaten half a length when among the outsiders. That was a good response to her Kenilworth seventh, where she was beaten over 11 lengths as a heavily backed favourite. She is still unplaced from one try around 1250m, so a sharper all-round return is required.

Resumes after five months off with the strongest profile in the field, having ended last campaign second in a 2yo Open at Scottsville, beaten a neck as a dominant odds-on favourite. He had won his previous start by seven and a half lengths from Master Magician, and his overall record stands at three wins and one placing from four starts. Richard Fourie has an excellent record on him, and his natural speed gives him a strong winning platform fresh.
