Tintin could prove better than his merit rating suggests in the R5 million Big Cap (JC Photos)
Sean Tarry has four four horses in the R3 million Race Coast Sales Slipper at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Saturday, headed by the smart Turn It Up, and he has the progressive Tintin in the R5 million Race Coast Sales Big Cap.
The Slipper is over 1200m and the Querari colt Turn It Up will have to overcome a tough draw of ten out of 14.
However, this half-brother to the Gr 1 Gold Medallion winner Proceed has won his last two starts impressively, although the form is not exceptional, and he is predicted to mow them down after being sat on in the early stages.
The Mike and Mathew de Kock-trained One World colt World Attraction has won both of his starts easily and is highly regarded, but he has not beaten much and has a wide draw of thirteen.
The Louis Goosen-trained Erik Dubois own well on debut and looks to have plenty of scope for improvement. From pole position he should make bold bid.
Roskilde is still a maiden but has fine formlines and last time out he was beaten just 0,40 lenghs into second in the Gr 3 Cape Of Good Hope Nursery.
Secretary Bird is actually a full-sister to Tintin and has won her last two starts over 1000m comfortably and she should be running on strongly.
They are selected in the order of mention.
In the Big Cap over 1400m Tintin is perfectly distance suited and is ever improving, but he does officially have a tough task at the weights being officially 5kg under sufferance with the best weighted Just Be Lekker. However, he does only carry 50kg under promising jockey Malesela Katjedi and he looks capable of riding above his current merit rating. He has a tricky draw of seven.
Rolan Garros is perfectly distance suited and is drawn in pole and this progresive sort should be right there.
Talk To The Master comes off two fine wins and from drw two with leading jockey Craig Zackey up he should go close.
Randolph Hearst was third in the Gr 1 Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas and although the form is a touch suspect he looks capable of being a contender from a fair draw here.
Malmesbury Missile loves this course and distance and should be in the shake up if able to overcome a tricky draw of nine.
They are selected in the order mentioned.
