Two recently turned three-year-olds could provide bettors with bankers at Wednesday’s Polytrack meeting at Hollywoodbets Greyville.
They will be taking on their elders and at times the handicappers are not always that generous to these youngsters but both Dowser and Girl Of Tregunter did win their maidens against older opposition.
Dowser, in particular, should be hard to beat in Race 7, a MR 68 Handicap over 1800m.
It’s amazing to see the Glen Kotzen-trained inmate running in a Class D contest when it looked like he would be seen next in a Graded race.
Perhaps he will, after showing what he can do against his elders. Last time out he slammed the highly regarded Dean Kannemeyer-trained Ready Or Not. With respect to the field he will meet on this occasion, he looks to be meeting much, much weaker.
He was all the rage when he ran last time and the connections would not hear of him getting beaten. He romped away from the opposition under Richard Fourie to win by 4.60 lengths.
Girl Of Tregunter lines up in Race 5, a MR 74 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1400m.
This well-bred daughter of Willow Magic was reserve No 3 for last Saturday’s Grade 1 Thekwini Stakes but did not make it into the final field.
She is highly regarded and may venture through the divisions if taking to the Polytrack.
The other youngster to be tested on the Polytrack is Famous And Rich, who is carded to step up to the plate in Race 6, a MR 68 Handicap over 1800m.
Like Dowser, he is a son of Visionaire, and he has had both of his runs on the Polytrack. He is drawn well in gate No 2 and should have no issues with the distance.
