Heavily punted, G G’s Dynasty managed a fine figure of 102 last time at Scottsville and duly doubled up in the Michael Roberts Handicap which was switched to the Greyville Poly after miserable weather up in KZN. Trained by Peter Muscutt, an integral part of the Interbet sponsored Crawford Racing Team, the bay made a telling move midway down the straight, worth a figure of 103.
He was chased by Tristful, a consistent performer with scores of 100,101 and now 102. The grey Born to Perform (s/s 102) made some progress from off the pace to get into the mix, but never looked likely to topple the handily ridden winner.
Trainer Dennis Drier has been in the game a long time. His Soft Falling Rain juvenile, Pray for Rain (speed score 96) provided a thrill on Saturday not just for the experienced conditioner but also his 86 year- old owner when winning a Kenilworth sprint by a distance. Congratulations to Mr Gujadhur and Hardy who have bought themselves a smart youngster.
Azores (s/s 99) also earned a notable figure, tacking into the south- east gale up the long Kenilworth straight to lumber Silver Plains on the wire. This handsome and beautifully bred gelding by Flower Alley ex Ilha Bela is worth following as he matures – he could turn into a very smart sort over middle distances.
