Go with Kennedy and Khumalo
Two former champion jockeys, S’manga Khumalo and Warren Kennedy, are the jockeys to be with at Hollywoodbets Grevyille on Sunday.
Both have competitive rides throughout the tricky eight-race race card but are likely to reward their followers on runners that should go off at decent each-way odds.
Kennedy has ridden Winter Journey in each of her last three starts for a fourth, a second and a third, so his decision to ride Gareth van Zyl-trained Indigo Fields instead speaks volumes of the latter’s chances in Race 1.
This well-related daughter of What A Winter was third on debut over 1200m and backed that up with another third-place finish over 1400m when last seen. She reverts to 1200m in the opener and the booking of Kennedy from gate No 3 could pave the way for Mario Ferreira’s filly to open her account.
Khumalo should level the score in Race 2 aboard Running Rifles, who Justin Snaith trains for prominent owner Nic Jonsson.
This three-year-old son of Vercingetorix wasn’t disgraced in either outing when still in Cape Town before finishing an improved second on his KwaZulu-Natal introduction over 1200m. On pedigree, Running Rifles should improve stepped up to 1400m and it is encouraging Khumalo retains the ride aboard the gelding at his first go around a bend.
