HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 10.04.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R100,000, 12:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Weak handicap maiden. DOIN’ TIME (9) has a wide draw but comes from a much in form stable and has made steady recent improvement. First time blinkers can see him home. Visiting FEATHER DANCER (4) takes on males but her last run is best ignored. As she was making steady progress before that. The switch to poly could be the answer. NOBLE WARRIOR (5) has shown signs of coming to hand and should be competitive in this line-up while stable companion CASTLE MEY (3) switches to the poly and with a light weight can go close.
Selections:
#9 DOIN’ TIME, #4 FEATHER DANCER, #5 NOBLE WARRIOR, #3 CASTLE MEY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 10.04.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1700m, Poly, R100,000, 12:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Candice Dawson makes the trip from Gauteng with KAROO GOLD (5) and it could pay dividends. The colt has been knocking at the door at his last two in blinkers and the switch to poly should suit. FIRE FORCE (6) has been improving all the time and enjoyed the step up in trip last time out. The Garth Puller yard is in good form. ROCK OF BISMANTOVA (3) was much improved last time out and horses from this yard always need to be respected. COSMIC CAPTAIN (9) has shown flashes of ability. He made a promising debut for his new stable and any market support must be respected.
Selections:
#5 KAROO GOLD, #3 ROCK OF BISMANTOVA, #6 FIRE FORCE, #9 COSMIC CAPTAIN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 10.04.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1700m, Poly, R100,000, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: FLAG MAN (5) has had a short break but beat is fair field first up out of the maiden. He only took a three-pound rise in the handicap and can follow up in this company of set weights although he does switch to the poly for the first time. ANCIENT WORLD (2) has been consistent in fair company and stays the trip well. His last two were on the poly and from a good draw he must be a big runner for Mike Miller. ROYAL SWAN MASTER (6) comes off some useful Cape form and his maiden win came on the poly. WINTER GAMES (7) has been disappointing of late but is way better than that form would suggest.
Selections:
#5 FLAG MAN, #2 ANCIENT WORLD, #6 ROYAL SWAN MASTER, #7 WINTER GAMES
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 10.04.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R100,000, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: PURPLE POWAHOUSE (4) is from a very much in form stable and has been in good form over course and distance. He meets a modest field here and could be difficult to beat. SAKHALA IS’CATHULO (1) has a big weight but has not been far back in his two post maiden efforts. He takes a big drop in class and if he takes to the poly he will be a serious contender. DROGARATI (2) has shown steady form on the poly and has a much better draw this time with a handy weight. NDAKA (6) has improved at his last two. He is quick and the switch to poly could bring out the best.
Selections:
#4 PURPLE POWAHOUSE, #1 SAKHALA IS’CATHULO, #2 DROGARATI, #6 NDAKA
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 10.04.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R100,000, 14:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Dean Kannemeyer sends out LOU THE LEGEND (3) who has his third run after a lengthy break and should strip at his peak. He does well on the poly. ZOOMBOMBER (4) and EVENTIDOR (6) meet again in just over a week. The two fought out a close finish with Eventidor coming out on top. However, he is anow 1,5kg worse off at the weights so Corne Spies’ runner can turn the tables. ACTION STATIONS (5) needed his last run and is back on his favourite surface. If anywhere near his best he will be a runner for Paul Lafferty. Veteran FOREST JUMP (1) takes a drop in class and with Rachel Venniker claiming her 1.5kg allowance he should be competitive.
Selections:
#3 LOU LOU THE LEGEND, #4 ZOOMBOMBER, #5 ACTION STATIONS, #1 FOREST JUMP
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 10.04.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R100,000, 15:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: BRAVE VOYAGER (6) has not been far back in second at his last two. He meets a modest field here and looks the part for Dennis Bosch. PREEMPTIVE STRIKE (2) has been up against much stronger at recent outings. He has a big weight but the drop in class can see him go close in this line-up. QUICK STAR (1) has come down in the ratings and although is current form is nothing to write home about, he has a good draw and a useful 4kg claimer aboard. He is one to watch. CONCHITA (8) is way better than her last effort and can finish in the money.
Selections:
#6 BRAVE VOYAGER, #2 PREEMPTIVE STRIKE, #1 QUICK STAR, #8 CONCHITA
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 10.04.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R100,000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: KNIGHT WARRIOR (9) goes well on the poly and has been in good form of late. He meets a modest field here and should go close. LAUGHING WILLIAM (6) ran way below form last start after showing fair Highveld form prior to that. He takes to the poly for the first time and at best he rates a strong winning chance. MARIACHI MADNESS (1) visits from the Highveld with no current form to speak of. But he has the best of the draw and Clinton Binda has engaged Muzi Yeni. He could be the spook in the field. There should be very little between IMAGINABLE (4) and PORFIRIO (7) with a neck separating the two when last they met.
Selections:
#9 KNIGHT WARRIOR, #6 LAUGHING WILLIAM, #1 MARIACHI MADNESS, #4 IMAGINABLE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 10.04.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R100,000, 16:33GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: JUST BE NICE (4) has been up against much stronger on the Highveld. Narrowly beaten last start, if she takes to the poly Candice Dawson’s mare could prove difficult to beat. CONTRA FISCUM (10) has a wide draw to contend with but has her first run for a new stable. Craig Zackey rides and the extra furlong should suit. POURSOMESUGARONME (9) and DOLLAR A DIME (2) meet again with the latter 1kg better off. There should not be much between them again.
Selections:
#4 JUST BE NICE, #10 CONTRA FISCUM, #9 POURSOMESUGARONME, #2 DOLLAR A DIME
Best Win: #5 KAROO GOLD
Best Value Bet: #3 LOU LOU THE LEGEND
Best Longshot: #2 PREEMPTIVE STRIKE
