Expert Best Bets & Tips for Flamingo Park Races | Hollywoodbets SA

Race 1: NORTHERN TOWER(11)
Jockey: Wesley Marwing – Trainer: M Prinsloo

NORTHERN TOWER received strong outside betting support when finishing a solid 2nd on his debut over the minimum distance two weeks ago. He was just a length ahead of the experienced JOE’S JOY that day, and he has ample room to improve. The extra furlong and his pole position barrier are clear advantages.

Race 4: NOTACADEMICATALL(1)
Jockey: F Herholdt – Trainer: S Von Willingh

The ever-consistent chestnut gelding NOTACADEMICATALL has shown excellent form locally, with a strong recent performance earning him a three-pound rise in handicap, but he remains the favourite.

Race 7: SAINT MARCO(6)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: S Miller

Trainer Stephanie Miller has a strong contender in this non-black type handicap with the new arrival SAINT MARCO, a five-year-old bay gelding with solid KZN form, including a close finish at listed level over a similar distance five weeks ago. While the second-place finisher at that event faltered next time out, SAINT MARCO is well-handicapped and the stable’s choice. This race will be his first on this surface.

Race 9: QUEEN AT WAR(12)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: C Lensley

QUEEN AT WAR is showing promise following two improved comeback runs after an 11-week break. Dropping slightly in class and benefiting from a good draw, she is poised to make a significant impact.

Race 6: ROY’S BUTTERFLY(6)
Jockey: M V.Rensburg – Trainer: W Miller

ROY’S BUTTERFLY bounced back with a pleasing recent course and distance effort which resulted in a hefty but well-deserved eight-pound rise. Facing tougher competition today in male company, she still has the potential to shine.
