Seahorse looks best in Open Maiden

Written by Germaine Maharaj | Jan 28, 2025 8:42:32 PM

White Seahorse looks have the best form in Race 4 at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Wednesday when they race on the Polytrack.

Glen Kotzen’s runner takes his place in an Open Maiden over 1800m. This trainer has a fine record with under-achieving horses he brings over from his primary yard in the Western Cape and White Seahorse could reaffirm that trend.

He has had eight starts, but his second, when finishing second fastest behind impressive winner Stated, stands out. After some consequent disappointing runs, he ran well in defeat when beaten only 2.70-lengths when tried against winners in a handicap.

That was 18 days ago and the ideal prep for an assault at the Maiden ranks in KwaZulu-Natal.

Race 5 is a tough Class 4 fillies and mares handicap, but it could just provide the opportunity for bettors to play Trifectas and Quartets.

Sascha’s Dream, Queen Amina and Sonata Samaritan are three progressive three-year-old fillies that should fight out the finish. Sascha’s Dream has honest form and boasts the best of the draws. She could get away.
