Durbanville Race 5 - Bet With Tote Www.tote.co.za B Stakes

SOHO HEARTTHROB (3) is the horse to beat after winning at this track last start, beating Diamond Rock by half a length, and that followed a third in a TRPHY over 2000m behind Miami Summer. His record at this track and distance is the key edge, with two wins and a placing from three tries, and he is already one win and one placing from two runs this season. NOBLE HERO (6) lacks the same winning profile but brings a strong setup with a sizeable weight drop and successive 1400m efforts at this track within two and a half lengths. IT IS MY TIME (5) has to rebound from a plain sixth, yet his Kenilworth fourth reads well enough and he has previously won around 1600m. WITCH HAZEL (1) has the class drop and a strong overall record, though this is his first try around 1600m and he resumes from a two-month freshening off a beaten-favourite fifth.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth in a BM98 over 1250m at this track, beaten just over two lengths as a heavily backed favourite. He had been third at Kenilworth the start prior, beaten just under a length after being crunched into a short odds-on quote. The class drop and inside draw help, but 1600m is new territory, so he appeals more as an each-way hope than a clear winning threat.

Comments

Resumed with a plain last in a TRPHY over 2000m at this track, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds, and that followed another long-margin defeat at Greyville. Dropping back to 1600m is not a simple positive, with five previous tries around the trip producing only two placings. The softer setup gives him some minor hope, but the recent figures leave him with plenty to turn around.

Comments

Comes in third-up and in winning form after beating Diamond Rock by half a length at this track, with the market support behind him adding substance to the result. He had already run third in a TRPHY over 2000m at this venue, beaten four lengths by Miami Summer, and is one win and one placing from two runs this season. Top weight is the small offset, but two wins and a placing from three runs at this track and distance make him the clear horse to beat.

Comments

Has a useful class drop from a TRPHY over 2000m, but the latest effort was only fair, finishing seventh at this track and beaten eight and a half lengths by Miami Summer. His previous third on this track was better, beaten just under two lengths in a small field after firming from bigger odds. Back to 1600m suits on paper, yet his record at the trip is patchy and he profiles as a wider exotics hope.

Returns from a two-month freshening after fading to sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten five and a half lengths when near the top of an open market. The run prior at Kenilworth was much sharper, finishing fourth and beaten a length despite being unwanted in betting. He has won at this track and distance and can roll forward, but the latest run keeps him in the minor-money mix.

Gets a sizeable weight drop after finishing fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten two and a half lengths despite being unwanted in the market. That was his second straight sound effort at this venue, having been fifth by the same margin the run prior. The rise to 1600m is backed by a win and a placing around the trip, so he has a genuine minor-money profile.
