HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.09.2023, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R100,000, 12:25GMT+2
Race Summary: BABYLON (6) brings solid Highveld form into the race and regular rider Gavin Lerena knows his every stride. He looks to be very hard to oppose here. In saying that, cheek can come from ABADDON (7) whom ran an absolute cracker on debut finishing 2nd to Thisiswhatitmeans. He is a big runner. PALACE REVOLT (10) is improving and improving quickly. His last run was outstanding and he should not be a maiden for too much longer. Big chance. LASHLAROO (9) comes from an inform trainer / owner combination and could make his presence felt first time at school. Watch the betting trends.
Selections:
#6 BABYLON, #7 ABADDON, #10 PALACE REVOLT, #9 LASHLAROO

Race Summary: QUENTASIA (6) ran on powerfully last time suggesting that further is what she needs. She gets 200m extra now and is therefore the firm first choice. STATUS QUO (2) was well fancied in the betting market for her to make a winning debut. Sadly, for her followers she fluffed her lines. There is no doubt that she would have come on from the experience. Her and One Smart Cookie finished near the back of the field on debut in the same race and One Smart Cookie has since run and run a much better race. The same can be expected from this well-bred filly and she is a must for all bets. KYNISKA (3) and AN AIR OF PRIDE (1) are musts for the quartet.
Selections:
#6 QUENTASIA, #2 STATUS QUO, #3 KYNISKA, #1 AN AIR OF PRIDE

Race Summary: MAYOR OF MERRIVALE (6) is making big threats of winning his maiden and today looks to be the day for him to shine. Visiting Gavin Lerena gets the ride and they rate the one to beat with. DYNALLEY (1) is lightly raced, gets gate 1 and more than likely has a lot more to offer. He is the each way value suggestion and is a must for all bets. VENERABLE (3) is becoming hard to predict but should get the victory one of these days – strong place chance and GIVE US A SMILE (2) can lurk into the back mend of the quartet.
Selections:
#6 MAYOR OF MERRIVALE, #1 DYNALLEY, #3 VENERABLE, #2 GIVE US A SMILE

Race Summary: One has to be thrilled with the way FLIGHT DISPLAY (7) is improving each and every time she comes to the races. Her last run was her best and she is the one they all have to fear the most. Possible banker! BALLYCOTTON (6) is well tried but raids from the Highveld – place chance. MYSTIQUE ROUGE (9) is the lurker in the field and the value for the places. Her last run was much better and she could place here at attractive odds. LEMON SCENT (2) should run well again.
Selections:
#7 FLIGHT DISPLAY, #6 BALLYCOTTON, #9 MYSTIQUE ROUGE, #2 LEMON SCENT
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.09.2023, Race 5, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R100,000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: PRETTY IN PEARLS (1) gets the best draw and carries 55,5kg’s. Her penultimate run in the Highveld was very good and her overall form is fair enough to give her a bright winning chance in this. ENGLISH PRIMROSE (6) is clearly loving the East Coast of KZN having run here three times for a win and a place. She has strong each way claims. SKYFULL (4) and LADY CANTON (2) are natural inclusions in swingers and trifectas.
Selections:
#1 PRETTY IN PEARLS, #6 ENGLISH PRIMROSE, #4 SKYFULL, #2 LADY CANTON

Race Summary: PEWTER SKY (3) is taking time to get it all right again but is ultra-consistent and looks like winning soon. He finished second in his last start and can go one better. STRAIGHT UP (1) kicked on attractively last time at decent odds. He gets gate 1 and Sean Veale – he can never be ignored as an each way choice. WARRIOR BLING (4) absolutely idled home last time beating Straight Up. He is a massive runner again. SYX HOTFIX (7) is looking for the hat trick and has a bright chance of achieving it in what seems a very competitive race.
Selections:
#3 PEWTER SKY, #1 STRAIGHT UP, #4 WARRIOR BLING, #7 SYX HOTFIX

Race Summary: ESQUEVELLE (10) relishes the surface and streaked ahead of the opposition last time. He is confidently selected to follow up and keep his poly stats high. He is draw deepest of the lot and does get 4 valuable kg’s off his back from the young rider. HIPPOCRATES (6) is never too far off the action and should be right there at the finish – expect another bold effort. MAJORCA PALACE (7) ran a cracker last time and although is taking time to win again, can never be dismissed from any bets and pretty much the same can be said for his stable companion GIMME A RAINBOW (3).
Selections:
#10 ESQUEVELLE, #6 HIPPOCRATES, #7 MAJORCA PALACE, #3 GIMME A RAINBOW
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.09.2023, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R100,000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: BIRDWATCHER’S (8) last run can be completely ignored. Her earlier form is consistent enough to see her bouncing right back to winning ways today. She gets a light weight and is one fpor the shortlist – can win. ANGELIC FORT (9) can be forgiven for her below par last effort – expect a huge run from her. COUNT YOUR CHANCES (4) is always there and thereabouts on the Highveld and can make her presence felt in a big way and JAZZ DIVA (2) can do a lot better than she did last time – place chance.
Selections:
#8 BIRDWATCHER, #9 ANGELIC FORT, #4 COUNT YOUR CHANCES, #2 JAZZ DIVA
Best Win: #6 BABYLON
Best Value Bet: #7 MAJORCA PALACE
Best Longshot: #7 MAJORCA PALACE
