The classy Exelero has always promised better things and he could follow up on his last win
MR 94 HANDICAP at Durbanville on Wednesday
here is little question that It is always more appealing betting into decent sized fields. That said, there could be a humdinger of a Pick 6 dividend lurking in the shadows of a deceptively tricky looking midweek card.
Ready To Excel
The headliner of the day on the draw-sensitive circuit is a nine horse MR 94 Handicap over 1300m, where the Vaughan Marshall-trained Exelero looks a possibility after a solid last win and form return. The son of Western Winter returned from a four
month break and a Gauteng campaign to spreadeagle a decent field last time. A highly rated sort in his early career, he beat 7yo Prince Jazeem by 1,25 lengths. The latter subsequently disappointed with an unplaced effort behind Spirit Of Hamilton.
Sean Tarry is looking for an icebreaker to open his Cape campaign, and Prince Jazeem brings some decent Gauteng form to the table.
Relentless
The evergreen Mike Robinson galloper Blarney Bay is always dangerous when allowed to dictate, but has some pudding to carry – and is not getting any younger. He did not stop at his last outing when going on doggedly to be beaten under a length by Spirit Of Hamilton. Exelero’s stablemate Halfmoon Hotel showed a flicker
of a form comeback last time over 1400m at the track – but he cannot be considered the stable elect on jockey arrangements.

Earner
Justin Snaith’s yard is in great form but Villa Del Largo looks to have some ground to find. He last ran in PE when closing strongly – as he inevitably does – but needs to finish things off and get his head in front where it counts. While a regular earner, he has not won a race in over two years. The bottomweight Winter Glory has run some decent

The great Cape racing support storm rages on, and with 77 runners carded for the eight race programme at Durbanville on Wednesday, the jury is out on the off-season apathy and on finding a solution to increase field subscriptions. The racing looks competitive though, and punters will be looking for a decent payout on the eve of Heritage Day.
