World Pools and two carryovers for Gold Cup Day.
Trainer Sean Tarry has some excellent runners in action at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday and a number of his runners have been priced up as favourites to win their respective races.
This is the final major race meeting of the season and the 10race card comprises four Grade 1 races, three Grade 2s, one Grade 3 and two Listed events.
Although a Grade 3 race, the World Pool Gold Cup is one of the highlights of the day and Tarrytrained Future Pearl tops the betting at 12-10. The four-year-old son of Futura was a facile winner of this race last year and looks set likely to repeat that performance this time around in the R1-million race over 3200m.
Tarry also saddles Lucky Lad in the Grade 1 Mercury Sprint, and this top-class sprinter is also priced up at 12-10. However, he does not have a good draw, which has been a perennial problem for him at Greyville, but over 1200m this time he should be running at them powerfully over the final 400m.
Record breaking champion jockey in waiting Richard Fourie has the ride on both Future Pearl and Lucky Lad.
