HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 27.03.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1750m, Turf, R100,000, 12:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Be interesting to see how the form of Connoisseur’s form works out with many of the runners involved in that race. The race was run at a good pace and GLOBAL MOVEMENT (5) stayed on best of all for second. IBIZA NIGHT (3) and TORIX NIGHT (6) were well beaten in the minor placings. CHILLI CHACHA (8) steps up in trip and may be worth following. This is a weak field and anything can happen.
Selections:
#5 GLOBAL MOVEMENT, #8 CHILLI CHACHA, #3 IBIZA NIGHT, #6 TORIX NIGHT
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 27.03.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1750m, Turf, R100,000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Wide open handicap. ROY’S ROCKER (7) steps out for the 41st time but her last win was over course and distance. Her recent form on the poly has been encouraging. DRIVE BY (1) has the best of the draw and is way better than her last run. This trip will suit. NONOTI (9) is never far behind and steps up in trip. TRUE LOVE KISS (11) has a wide draw but has improved with every run culminating in her recent maiden win. She has only had four starts. COLUMBIA ROAD (12) has not been far back at recent starts and should feature prominently in this company.
Selections:
#7 ROY’S ROCKER, #1 DRIVE BY, #9 NONOTI, #11 TRUE LOVE’S KISS
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 27.03.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1750m, Turf, R100,000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: SIGN OF FATE (2) takes on males and her last effort in the Gauteng Fillies Guineas is best ignored. She has a handy weight and looks classy enough to give the boys a run for their money. Justin Snaith saddles his first runner of the KZN season with TRIPLE TIME (8) who has been close-up at his last two at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. This may be a touch short but he has smart form. SHOOT THE RAPIDS (5) has won two of his four starts and is an entry in the Gr1 SA Derby. He has a handy weight and this should be the ideal warm-up. MADISON VALLEY (7) shows promise and took on a useful field last start. He has a light weight to help his chances.
Selections:
#2 SIGN OF FATE, #8 TRIPLE TIME, #5 SHOOT THE RAPIDS, #7 MADISON VALLEY
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 27.03.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1950m, Turf, R100,000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: KIND JUDY (3) has been a soldier for Barend Botes as she tries for her eight win. She may just have needed her first local outing and can improve. LILLYBELLE (8) took on stronger last run but she does appear to be better on the turf. She is down in class and must rate a strong chance. ESCAPOLOGIST (9) is never far back and is way better than her last effort. JOLLIFICATION (7) has shown her best recent form on the poly but goes well this trip.
Selections:
#3 KIND JUDY, #8 LILLYBELLE, #9 ESCAPOLOGIST, #7 JOLLIFICATION
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 27.03.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R100,000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: RELEASE ME (1) has been trying further but never far back. The drop in trip could suit. MASTER JOSH (7) is always game and was narrowly beaten over course and distance last start. He has a big weight but has a 1.5kg claiming apprentice up. WICCAN WARRIOR (2) has been disappointing of late but back on home ground and a drop in the handicap could see him back to his best. PARMENION (9) found good market support when winning last time out and is clearly in a good space.
Selections:
#1 RELEASE ME, #7 MASTER JOSH, #2 WICCAN WARRIOR, #9 PARMENION
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 27.03.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R100,000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Wide open. SCAMPTON (6) showed good pace before weakening late last run over further. He drops to what may be a more suitable trip. MR MOLONY (4) has been holding form and goes well this course and distance and must have a strong chance. QUICK STAR (3) is a veteran of the turf but seldom puts in a bad days work. He is due another win. ONE IRISH ROVER (9) is way better than his last effort. He goes well this trip.
Selections:
#6 SCAMPTON, #4 MR MOLONY, #3 QUICK STAR, #9 ONE IRISH ROVER
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 27.03.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R100,000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: SKY CAFE (3) has been battling for her second win but her best recent form has been over this trip and she should be right there. FRENCH PRINCESS (1) needed her last run from a tough draw and has a lot in her favour this time around. RUGGER LOVER (4) made sudden improvement second time out for her new stable. That was on the poly and if she can convert on the turf she must have a good chance. FLYING THE STAR (5) is over her best course and distance Her consistency was rewarded last run but she can follow up in this company.
Selections:
#3 SKY CAFE, #1 FRENCH PRINCESS, #4 RUGGER LOVER, #5 FLYING THE STAR
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 27.03.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R100,000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: BUSTER KEATON (5) has his second run after a break where he showed up well in a competitive handicap. He should have benefitted from that run. Veteran PURPLE POWAHOUSE (4) has run up a string of placings on the poly. The switch to turf should not bother him in this company. HAPPY WANDERER (7) is always dangerous while NORTHERN WARRIOR (8) is over his best course and distance.
Selections:
#5 BUSTER KEATON, #4 PURPLE POWAHOUSE, #8 NORTHERN WARRIOR, #7 HAPPY WANDERER
Best Win: #3 KIND JUDY
Best Value Bet: #5 BUSTER KEATON
Best Longshot: #2 WICCAN WARRIOR
