Dennis Drier will attempt to win the Grade 2 Betting World 1900 for the second year running at Greyville tonight.
Pacific Dynasty, a five-year-old mare, will be having her first run for the yard, but the two things she does have in common with last year’s impressive winner Beach Beauty is that she is by Dynasty and is also a small horse.
She is only merit-rated 95, but did finish a 1,5 length third in the Grade 2 Gerald Rosenberg Stakes for fillies and mares over 2 000m at Turffontein last time out when still trained by Wallace Tolmay.
However, it has to be said that the field for that race was a bit below par for a Grade 2 event.
Stuart Ferrie, assistant to Drier, said, “She’s a small but nice filly and has been working well. She has a place chance.”
Keagan de Melo will ride Pacific Dynasty from draw 12.
The yard only has one other runner on the night, Soaring Free, a three-year-old Strike Smartly gelding, who runs in the fourth race, a MR 73 Handicap over 1 400m.
It is his first run out of the maidens and Ferrie said, “He won his maiden well enough. He made all and can progress.”
