Good morning, everyone! We have an exciting end to the KZN season with the Hollywood Gold Cup day finale on Sunday. I’ve been really looking forward to this card and hopefully, it will be a successful end to the season for the punters.

The trainers' championship is still in the balance after the stats confusion, and I am hoping that Sean Tarry can catch Justin Snaith on the last day with some strong runners. My thoughts for the card are as follows:

Race 1: The Grey King for Snaith in a competitive race.

Race 2: Rodeo Drive is worth a punt for the Tarry/Fourie combination.

Race 3: Chocolate Soldier for the lads, but Dantonfromsandton is a danger.

Race 4: Quid Pro Quo is a potential banker, but Lock and Key could be special.

Race 5: The Tarry combination to fight it out, Cosmic Speed and Legend of Arthur, but maybe add others to exotics.

Race 6: Lucky Lad is one of my favorites and a special horse but has a bad draw. The Tarry/Fourie combination should bring the star home.

Race 7: Future Pearl should win, but Nebraas must be included and possibly Future Swing.

Race 8: It's now or never for See It Again. Good trainer, but was a great jockey with another great jockey to ride a Humdinger. 😉 Maybe add Dave the King, Cousin Casey, and Flag Man.

Race 9: No stress here as I have the field, but if pushed, Red Palace and Saartjie for the PA.

Race 10: Pistol Pete to fire. 🔥

It appears the TC02 debacle has been put aside after the failure to nail certain trainers backfired and disturbed the "good" ones. 😅
