The combination of Dean Kannemeyer and Craig Zackey has been producing many winners of late and they can notch up a double on the Polytrack at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Friday.
The first comes up in Race 3, an Open Maiden Plate for fillies and mares over 1200m, where they team up with Spirit Of Shimla. The three-year-old daughter of Vercingetorix has only raced once, and that was on the Polytrack over this course and distance.
She was well supported in the betting to win that race and went off the favourite at 17-10, however, inexperience cost her dearly and after a slow start, racing greenly and hanging badly, she only managed to finish fourth.
Nevertheless, she was running on strongly and was beaten just 2.90 lengths.
With that experience under her belt she should be a lot better this times, despite jumping from No 10 draw.
Perhaps the better runner comes up in Race 6, a C Stakes over 2000m, where Kannemeyer sends out Drielandenpunt. This three-year-old gelding is by The United States and he certainly took to the Polytrack with vigour. After two moderate runs on the turf, he was tried on the poly, both times over 1600m. He ran a decent third on the first occasion and then ran out a winner by 8.20 lengths.
He looks as if he will love the step-up in trip and should be hard to beat.
