HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 30.01.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R80,000, 12:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: FUTURE SAINT (8) has run two smart races on the poly. He meets a modest field here and is the horse to beat. NOBLE WARRIOR (4) is lightly raced and should enjoy the step up in trip and looks the most likely danger. TERIYAKI (3) has been improving with each outing and takes a jump in trip. First time blinkers and he should strip a fit horse. HUNTERS ARROW (6) is struggling but has a money chance.
Selections:
#8 FUTURE SAINT, #4 NOBLE WARRIOR, #3 TERIYAKI, #6 HUNTERS ARROW

Race Summary: Summary: ELECTRIC STORM (3) has shown consistent form in soft going at recent outings. The switch to the poly could suit and he rates a strong chance. POWER STAR (7) is a long-time battler but is seldom far back and has a strong chance in this line-up. The year older MAYOR OF MERRIVALE (2) has been consistent over shorter and the stable is showing signs of form. IBIZA NIGHT (9) has the widest draw but is at the bottom of the weights and has some fair form on the poly.
Selections:
#3 ELECTRIC STORM, #7 POWER STAR, #2 MAYOR OF MERRIVALE, #9 IBIZA NIGHT
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 30.01.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R80,000, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Tough handicap. MASTER FUEGO (1) made a smart return from a break and also his poly debut. He should much prefer this trip. FLAG MAN (8) has shown up well in three starts in the soft and now switches to the poly. He has a high rating but still has a handy galloping weight and can go in again. RED WILLIAM (9) has some useful Highveld form and can do better than his last effort. He has been rested but on his best form he should make a big impression. LAUDATO (3) is lightly raced but both of his starts have come on the poly. He stays the trip and has a light weight. CAPTAIN ROCKET (2) is never far back. He loves the poly and stays the trip well.
Selections:
#1 MASTER FUEGO, #8 FLAG MAN, #9 RED WILLIAM, #3 LAUDATO
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 30.01.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1900m, Poly, R80,000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: The combination of jockey Muzi Yeni and Paul Lafferty have been in good form of late and they can add another winner with MANIC MONDAY (1). She has been struggling a little to get her second win behind her but she has the best of the draw and stays well. The switch to poly could be what she is looking for. JOLLIFICATION (8) goes well on the poly and stays the trip. She was narrowly beaten last run but has not been out since November last year. BLAZING ASTUTE (9) gets 4kg claimer Trent Mayhew aboard and has gone close at her last two on the poly. The form of her last race has been franked and she should make a bold bid. SHAKEN NOT STIRRED (6) is sound and as game as they come. She is never far back and with some lick in running can pull this off.
Selections:
#1 MANIC MONDAY, #9 BLAZING ASTUTE, #8 JOLLIFICATION, #6 SHAKEN NOT STIRRED
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 30.01.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R80,000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: VISION OF WILL (6) has strong form and goes well over course and distance. She has a big weight but has a strong chance again. FLYING THE STAR (3) is back over her best trip and if Rachel Venniker can make the weight the mare will be a big runner. AVERNI PRINCESS (8) has been taking on stronger since her maiden win. She switches to the poly but goes well over the trip and should make a bold bid. MAGICALEE (4) is way better than her recent form would suggest. Over her bast course and distance she could be the surprise package.
Selections:
#6 VISION OF WILL, #3 FLYING THE STAR, #8 ARVERNI PRINCESS, #4 MAGICALLEE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 30.01.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R80,000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Wide open handicap. RAFIKI (6) has been consistent, goes well on the poly and the trip suits. The stable is in form which is an added plus. ONE IRISH ROVER (5) enjoyed the switch back to the poly last run. He has dropped in the handicap and should make a bold bid. BRASS BELL (7) is always game. He loves this trip and has a money chance again. GAMBATTISTA (3) is never far off and Richard Fourie gets the leg up. He has a handy galloping weight and must have a strong chance. CRESTED EAGLE (4) is way better than his recent form would suggest and he could upset.
Selections:
#6 RAFIKI, #5 ONE IRISH ROVER, #7 BRASS BELL, #3 GIAMBATTISTA
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 30.01.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R80,000, 16:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Modest handicap. SPRING KISS (7) has been taking on much stronger at recent outings and not far behind. The drop in class should see her go close. INGAKARA (3) has been much improved on the poly and knocking at the door. She meets little of note here and rates the horse to beat. ANGELIC FORT (8) is never far back another although struggling for her second win she has a chance here. Off her lower mark. DRIVE BY (4) was disappointing at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last Wednesday but the switch to the poly could see her competitive in a weak field.
Selections:
#7 SPRING KISS, #3 INGAKARA, #8 ANGELIC FORT, #4 DRIVE BY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 30.01.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R80,000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Weak handicap. POURSOMESUGARONME (2) has been struggling for some time now but took on much stronger last run and not far back. She takes a further two-point drop in the handicap and with Rachel Venniker’s 1.5kg allowance she can finally win again. BIRDWATCHER (3) is always dangerous. Over her best course and distance with Richard Fourie up she should make an impression in a weak field. ENGLISH PRIMROSE (6) is back from a lengthy break but has taken to the poly and can finish in the money. MAGGIE TEE (7) may just have needed her last run. The stable is in form and on her best effort she can make a race of it.
Selections:
#2 POURSOMESUGARONME, #3 BIRDWATCHER, #6 ENGLISH PRIMROSE, #7 MAGGIE TEE
Best Win: #8 FUTURE SAINT
Best Value Bet: #7 SPRING KISS
Best Longshot: #8 ANGELIC FORT
