There are times when racing on the Polytrack at Hollywoodbets Greyville produces results that leave bettors flabbergasted but that may not be the case on Wednesday as there appear to be some decent banker possibilities.
Justin Snaith-trained Runaway Song has been ultra-consistent in his short career and has yet to finish out of the money.
The four-year-old son of Legislate is one of those horses who is at home on turf or Polytrack and his two runs on the latter surface have produced a fast-finishing 0.70-length second behind Techno Savvy and a comfortable 2.30-length victory over Swing Upon A Star.
He followed that up with another win at Scottsville and goes into Race 5, a MR 88 Handicap over 1400m, seeking a hat-trick.
He does take a jump in class as he will be meeting Baby Shooz and Quick Star but neither has been seen at his best recently which will favour Runaway Song. He has the advantage of jumping from barrier No 1 and will be ridden by Serino Moodley, who was aboard for both Polytrack runs.
Dawnofanewday runs a race later in a MR 76 Handicap over 1600m and Dean Kannemeyer’s charge should finally notch up a second career victory. She is another runner who is rarely far off the leading group and last time she looked all over a winner until she was snared late by Bingin Beach.
Her best run in KwaZulu-Natal was over this course and distance where she went down a short head to Top Me Up Holly. She drops in class now and she should take a power of beating. Keagan de Melo takes the ride.
The obvious danger is Bell Jar, who still has plenty of vigour for an eight-year-old. However, she would probably be more effective over a bit further.
