Race Summary: Trainer Michell Crawford – Rix holds a strong hand in the race. HOKAAI MY MEISIE (9) ran an okay race on debut and more than likely has any amount of improvement to come. Richard Fourie gets the ride from a slightly awkward draw. She can go close to winning. WHAT NOW MY GAL (8) nearly won last time and deserves plenty respect – big runner. KIAN’S PRIDE (1) is coming along the right way and has a strong place chance, especially from gate 1. KEENONKELLY (5) ran a cracker last time but will need to confirm that – quartet possibility.
Selections:
#9 HOKAAI MY MEISIE, #8 WHAT NOW MY GAL, #1 KIAN’S PRIDE, #5 KEENONKELLY

Race Summary: Trainer Fabian Habib has two attractive contenders here. LITTLE PRINCE (6) is taking time to win again but is holding form and looks cherry ripe to notch up his next career victory now. Plenty cheek can be expected from the stable mate LUTHULI (7) whom was a recent runaway winner and could follow up. MAJESTIC POWER (5) can be forgiven for his last run and will have a chance based on previous good form – respect and include and CUPID’S SONG (4) has a quartet chance.
Selections:
#6 LITTLE PRINCE, #7 LUTHULI, #5 MAJESTIC POWER, #4 CUPID’S SONG
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 24.07.2023, Race 3, Gallops, 1700m, Poly, R100,000, 13:35GMT+2
Race Summary: MEDAL OF FREEDOM (1) is improving quickly and from gate 1, could be a hard horse to oppose. JOHNNY THE THIEF (8) is also improving quickly but did race fiercely and still managed to run on powerfully – he is a huge runner. MISTER LINCOLN (9) has a strong place chance and could be the minor money value and KING AND COUNTRY (7) can improve.
Selections:
#1 MEDAL OF FREEDOM, #8 JOHNNY THE THIEF, #9 MISTER LINCOLN, #7 KING AND COUNTRY

Race Summary: NATIONAL DREAM (3) is in top winning form, has won his last two impressively and looks teed up to reel off the hat trick. He is the confident first suggestion. INGAKARA (1) is taking time to get it all right again but is never too far off the action and can get much closer this time. SAFE SPACE (2) is a recent maiden winner but could be up to the task of earning first time out the maidens. BAYVIEW EXPRESS (7) ran a much better race last time and is a must for the trifecta and quartet.
Selections:
#3 NATIONAL DREAM, #1 INGAKARA, #2 SAFE SPACE, #7 BAYVIEW EXPRESS

Race Summary: WHAT A TIGER (8) brings solid Highveld form into the race which gives him a solid winning chance. He beat Gimme The Flame last time and is selected to follow up. IMPARTIAL (4) gets a light weight and a cozy draw – he has a strong place chance. MAGWINYA (9) gets Keagan De Melo and he can build on his post maiden form. ROYAL OASIS (2) gets the services of Richard Fourie and on her best efforts could certainly make her presence felt and it could be worth including her in the quartet as the value choice.
Selections:
#8 WHAT A TIGER, #4 IMPARTIAL, #9 MAGWINYA, #2 ROYAL OASIS
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 24.07.2023, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R100,000, 15:20GMT+2
Race Summary: POPPY OF BAYEUX (2) might have found the 5 furlongs too quick just the other day but did run / stay on well. She gets a kind draw and Sean Veale keeps the ride, which is a good sign and can get the gold in this. CORNER CRUSADE (10) gets Keagan De Melo and is a filly that is never too far off the winners and might well represent some attractive value – respect and include despite the high draw. KILEIGH’S FATE (6) can be forgiven for her last run and can make her presence felt and can never be ignored. GIMME A LULLABYE (1) off that weight, from the best draw and threaten.
Selections:
#2 POPPY OF BAYEUX, #10 CORNER CRUSADE, #6 KILEIGH’S FATE, #1 GIMME A LULLABY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 24.07.2023, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R100,000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: KINGSMEADS KRYSTL (11) is making promising threats of recording her next career victory and the stable, jockey and owner partnership is currently in mustard form. She can win despite the high gate. MISSION ROCKS (12) clearly has ability and is on the up. She has won three out of her last four races and it would be no shock if she won again – big runner. MORGAN LA FAY (6) and CERTAINLY (3) look to be natural inclusions in trifecta and quartet perms.
Selections:
#11 KINGSMEADS KRYSTL, #12 MISSION ROCKS, #6 MORGAN LA FAY, #3 CERTAINLY

Race Summary: WINTER WAVES (10) is making us wait for his next win but looks cherry ripe now. Keagan De Melo is persisting and quite rightly so – he can go one better and is the first choice. LUCKY DOLLAR (4) can serve up a lot more than he did last time and has each way claims. PARMENION (5) was only just over three and a half lengths off talented Strawberry Bear last time and he must be taken seriously. FOREST JUMP (1) if placing will assist in the quartet paying handsomely – include.
Selections:
#10 WINTER WAVES, #4 LUCKY DOLLAR, #5 PARMENION, #1 FOREST JUMP
Best Win: #6 LITTLE PRINCE
Best Value Bet: #1 FOREST JUMP
Best Longshot: #1 FOREST JUMP
