Team Hewitson to score in KZNLYLE HEWITSON

Lyle Hewitson takes the ride on Carl Hewitson-trained Komodosan in this Maiden Plate over 1400m. Redames looked the main threat but trainer Shane Humby’s charge was found to be lame and has been pulled out.

Komodosan has only run twice, finishing unplaced on debut when drawn No 13 of 14 in a 1200m race on the Greyville turf, and then, racing over 1500m at Scottsville and drawn widest of all in a 14-horse field, produced the fastest 400m to finish to end up a 3.25-length fourth behind Bohemian Lad.

He also had the misfortune of casting a shoe in running during that race.

This will be the first time Lyle Hewitson will be taking the ride on this gelding and this time he has the advantage of jumping from No 1 draw.

What is relevant is that both of his runs have been in yielding going, and with all the rain around, that could be an added advantage  

As a result, the Jay Peg gelding should be a banker in all bets.

Another banker looks to be Masango Machine, who runs in Race 3, another Maiden Plate over 1400m

He does have a danger in Coromandel but the latter, to be ridden by Anton Marcus, jumps from No 14 draw while Masango Machine jumps from No 6 draw.

Donovan Dillon takes the ride for trainer Peter Muscutt.
