Comments, Turffontein and Scottsville

Betway’s Racing Ambassador Mike de Kock has two runners entered for Race over 1800m on the inside track at Turffontein.

He said: “I am leaning towards Little Mary Sunshine over Spring in Heaven. Little Mary Sunshine just needed her last run after a rest and she’s doing really well, she has come on nicely from that run and Piere Strydom rides her. Spring In Heaven has a Quartet chance.

The two De Kock runners at Scottsville are Ingqwele (Race 3, 1600m) and Khetiwe’s Destiny (Race 8, 1200m).

Mike commented: “Ingqwele never had cover and didn’t settle in her race last time, so he didn’t get into a good position. If Muzi Yeni can get him into a better position in this race, Ingqwele can challenge for a place in the first three, he is quite capable. Dean Kannemeyer’s runner Rhydian looks the horse to beat.

“We didn’t plan this race for Khetiwe’s Destiny. She was prepared for and supposed to run two weeks ago but was scratched and we were left scratching our heads. I was trying to qualify her for a race on Durban July day. She’ll have to run in the first three against the older fillies here to warrant inclusion on July day. She’s only a Maiden Juvenile winner and this is not the ideal race for her, but she is a useful filly who will win her races so must have a shout.”
