Get ready for midweek racing action! Hollywoodbets Durbanville takes centre stage on Wednesday before the excitement shifts to Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Sunday, 2 November. With a total of 76 runners across an eight-race card at Durbanville, there's plenty to look forward to.
Hollywoodbets Durbanville: Key Runners to Watch
Race 1: Ignite the Fire Sparks Intrigue
Keep an eye on Ignite the Fire in Race 1. The Paddy Kruyer/JP van der Merwe combination, fresh off Tenpenny's impressive win, will be hoping Ignite the Fire can replicate that form. While the colt started at long odds in previous races, a blistering 22.4-second final 400m suggests significant improvement. Consider including Ignite the Fire in exotic bets with Eugenius and Meet the King.
Race 2: Miami Summer Looks Promising
JP van der Merwe will be confident aboard Miami Summer in Race 2. The United States colt finished strongly for second from a poor draw behind Siriano five weeks ago. Further improvement should make him a strong contender in this Maiden over 1400m. Joueur de Flute, with a favourable draw, and Klein Karoo are also in contention, but Miami Summer gets the nod.
Race 8: Fox on the Run Continues Hot Streak?
Trainer James Crawford's entries have been in excellent form, and Fox on the Run could continue that trend in Race 8. Despite some greenness in his second start, he convincingly won against Maiden rivals two weeks ago. The 1400m distance should suit him well, and he's expected to put in a strong performance under Richard Fourie.
