A competitive ten-race programme awaits racing enthusiasts and punters this Sunday at Hollywoodbets Scottsville.
The headline races on the card are undoubtedly the Dennis Drier Poinsettia Stakes Gr 3 and the In Full Flight Handicap Listed.
In Race 7, the Dennis Drier Poinsettia Stakes Gr 3, SYMPHONY IN WHITE is a leading contender. She has been in solid form lately and was very impressive when winning at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth in her last start. She also performs exceptionally well at this track, with a standout run on the 31st of May 2025 in the South African Fillies Sprint Gr 1. She appeared to be traveling well when hampered at a crucial stage, ultimately finishing just 4.55 lengths behind the winner. Andrew Fortune knows her well, and she could take some beating here.
But the race doesn’t end there, as several others are in good form. Stablemate BABELICIOUS is a must-include in all bets. She has shown she can finish strongly on her day and will be right there with Serino Moodley aboard.
MAI SENSATION, trained by Lucinda Woodruff and ridden by Juan Paul V’D Merwe, commands respect. She hasn’t been far off in recent outings and will be a serious contender if bringing her best form. Another runner to consider is ASIYE PHAMBILI, trained by Duncan Howells. She performs very well at this track and packs plenty of class. With Sean Veale aboard, she’s sure to be a massive runner.
Race 8, the In Full Flight Handicap Listed, this looks set to be another fiercely contested race with many runners holding solid form.
SPEEDMAN from the Sean Tarry yard stands out on current form. The son of Vercingetorix was highly impressive when winning his last start and appears destined for bigger things. With Craig Zackey in the saddle, who knows him well, another big performance is expected. His versatility across different distances is a sign of a very smart horse.
KAIBOY, trained by Candice Bass, is another to keep an eye on. He outran his odds last time out, finishing a close-up fourth behind DANCE VARIETY at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. He has always been highly regarded, he’s sure to make his presence felt in a big way with Serino Moodley aboard.
I’M A FIREBALL from the Mike and Mathew de Kock yard is another lively contender. He secured a gutsy win at Hollywoodbets Scottsville when beating the classy Roland Garros on 01 March 2026. His last run was outstanding, finishing second behind MALMESBURY MISSILE, and he’s definitely one to watch.
All in all, it looks to be a mouth-watering card for punters, and the Pick 6 could be the way to go, with massive pools expected.
