Durbanville Tips on September 13th - Best Bets and Predictions

GLEE CLUB moved up like a winner over 1250m on this course last time, but was caught late by Red Moon Rising. The daughter of The United States would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. She will love the extra distance on offer and from pole position, she should go one better.

APACHE CHIEF challenged strongly in his last start over 1400m, but found one too good in the form of Lexican Point. The son of Lancaster Bomber is a progressive type and will love the rise to the mile. He will strip a much fitter horse today and is the horse to beat.

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS was his own worst enemy over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time as he over raced in the early stages. He returns from a 14-week break which may have done him the world of good. The 5yo gelding won his only attempt over this C&D. Bernard Fayd’Herbe is booked to ride and if switching off early, he can return to winning ways.

FUTURE VARIETY ran a fair race in the Grade 3 Winter Nursery last time. He returns from an 18-week break, during which time he was gelded. The son of Var clearly has ability and if not too green around the turn, he should be the one to beat.

YAMADORI followed up his maiden victory with a good third-place finish over this C&D. Despite racing wide around the turn, the manner in which he stayed on at the finish was encouraging. The son of Lancaster Bomber takes a drop-in class and from pole position, he should be the one to beat.
