Durbanville Tips on September 3rd - Best Bets and Predictions

CONGRESSMAN showed good improvement in his last start over this C&D. He set the pace that day but found one too good in the form of Midway. The son of Querari would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. He gets the tongue-tie fitted for the first time which may do the trick. He has scope and in this field, he should be the one to beat.

ENGLISH MISTRESS rallied late when second over 1400m at Fairview. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She has finished second twice and third twice from six starts over this distance. She will strip much fitter and from pole position, she may be rewarded for consistency.

PACAYA found one too good in the form of The Futurist last time. He has won once and finished third twice from five starts over this distance. He is suited to this course and if not in need of the run, he can return to winning ways.

BIG UNIT should have finished closer to the winner in his last start over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth as he was held up for a run at the 300m mark. He returns from a 16-week break, during which time he was gelded. He has won once and finished third once from three starts over this distance. He is the stable elect with Luyolo Mxothwa in the saddle and if fit, he can return to winning ways.

LADY LOXTON lost a length leaving the start last time but stayed on to finish second. She would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. The daughter of Vercingetorix takes a drop in class and if getting away to a clean start, she should go one better.
