Durbanville Race 1 - Hollywoodbets Durbanville Welcomes You Open Mdn
LANA'S GAL (7) earns top billing after a clear second to Made In Chelsea at this venue, beaten two and a half lengths, and that was a sharper piece of recent 1000m form than most of these bring. She has placed twice from three attempts at this track and distance and looks ready to turn consistency into a maiden win. SICILY (4) is the obvious danger: a 19-start maiden, but placed six times overall and four times from six at this track and distance, with his latest third giving him a solid platform. MAC D (6) is not as compelling for the win after five unplaced starts, though her latest fourth behind Made In Chelsea keeps her in the conversation for exotics. SECRET TACTIC (8) resumes after one debut run at Kenilworth, where he was kept safe enough in betting before finishing seventh, and his lightly raced profile gives him room to improve fresh.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fifth at Kenilworth, beaten just under eight lengths, when sent around at long odds. Her previous run was an eighth at this venue, beaten just over six lengths, so the exposed form is only moderate. The 2.5kg apprentice claim is some help and she draws to race handy, but four unplaced runs at around 1000m leave her as a place hope rather than a strong winning case.

Finished last first-up at this track over 1250m, beaten over 13 lengths by Georgie Girl, and there was no clear excuse in the run. The start prior was also heavy, finishing sixth of seven at this venue and beaten over 14 lengths. Drops back to 1000m with no placing from two tries at the trip, so a major turnaround is required.

Returns from a three-month break after a plain last at Kenilworth, beaten over 15 lengths, when he had been near the top of betting. The better reference is his prior third at Kenilworth over 1200m, beaten just under a length after firming in the market. He has placed once from three starts overall, but the big weight and two unplaced runs at the trip make him a cautious place chance.

Has been racing consistently and was again solid when third at this venue last start, beaten just under three lengths by Made In Chelsea after being well-supported near the top of betting. He was fifth over 1250m at this track the run prior, beaten three and a half lengths, and now has meaningful weight relief. The long maiden record is the obvious knock, but four placings from six at this track and distance put him right in the winning mix.

Makes his debut with no race form to assess, so the market may be the best guide late. He brought AUD 180000 as a yearling, but the trainer's recent debut statistics are modest and the same trainer-sire combination is also yet to place from five starts. With 59.5kg at his first outing, he looks a runner who will have to show more than the profile reveals.

Worked into fourth at this venue last start behind Made In Chelsea, though she was still beaten just under six lengths and started at long odds. Two weeks earlier she finished seventh over 1250m at this track, beaten just over six lengths. She meets Lana's Gal and Sicily again from that latest race and has ground to make up, but the lighter weight gives her some place appeal.

Produced her best recent run when second at this venue behind Made In Chelsea, beaten two and a half lengths, after being only an outside chance in betting. That followed an eighth in MPLTE grade at this track, but her overall profile at the trip is sound with two placings from four 1000m attempts. With Richard Fourie booked and the strongest last-start form in the race, she is the one they have to beat.

Returns from an eight-month spell after a single debut run at Kenilworth, finishing seventh behind Cantona and beaten six and a half lengths. He was near the top of betting but eased there, which suggests some market respect without a full return. The profile is still lightly raced and Craig Zackey is a positive booking, but carrying 60.5kg fresh keeps him more in the place conversation.
