Race Summary: Summary: SPIRIT OF LEVANA (5) makes her debut but got the thumbs-up from trainer Glen Kotzen who has a smart string of juveniles this year. GIMMIE’S COUNTESS (7) also makes her debut for Dean Kannemeyer. She has a cracking pedigree and word from the yard is include in all exotics.

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 15.05.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R115,000, 12:55GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: Open maiden. MC DAZZLER (4) was much improved when making his poly debut at only his third start. A repeat should see him in the firing line. ALWAYS SHINING (5) was not far behind Mc Dazzler when last they met and the stable is in good form. RUN TO RIO (8) has been knocking on the door for some time now. His worst recent effort has been over the distance in soft ground. RED MOUNTAIN (9) has shown some promise and made a smart return to the take last time out after a lengthy lay-off.

Selections:

#4 MC DAZZLER, #5 ALWAYS SHINING, #8 RUN TO RIO, #9 RED MOUNTAIN

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 15.05.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1700m, Poly, R110,000, 13:30GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: NOBLE WARRIOR (9) jumps in trip but did find some market support last run when tried in blinkers. He should be fit after racing once every month since January and the opposition is not strong. UBUKHWEBENZANA (5) showed up well first run for her new stable. She also steps up in trip but is lightly raced and looks set to improve. IBIZA NIGHT (6) has been run out of it late in his last two. The blinkers go on and he should make another bold bid. CALLABURN (10) has consistent Highveld form. He stays the trip and can run into the money on his poly debut.

Selections:

#9 NOBLE WARRIOR, #5 UBUKHWEBEZANA, #6 IBIZA NIGHT, #10 CALLABURN

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 15.05.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1900m, Poly, R110,000, 14:05GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: ROYS ROCKER (1) steps up in class but has been close-up in recent outings. She only has 52kg to shoulder and has Muzi Yeni in the saddle. Barend Botes has three runners in the race. LIGHT OF DAY (5) won well at Turffontein last time out and has been improving all the while she may prove the pick but stable companion KIND JUDY (6) was narrowly beaten when trying further last time out but has been consistent and can go one better. DOCTOR’S ORDERS (7) also steps up in trip but did show some improvement in blinkers last run and that form has since been franked.

Selections:

#1 ROY’S ROCKER, #5 LIGHT OF DAY, #6 KIND JUDY, #7 DOCTOR’S ORDERS

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 15.05.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R120,000, 14:45GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: SUNDANCE KID (5) comes from a very much in form stable. He was beaten two lengths in a Pinnacle Stakes last run by Formagear but his last three wins have been on the poly. BOWIE (6) found one too good for him last run but he did have the widest draw to contend with. He goes well on the poly and should be competitive. SYX HOTFIX (9) has the widest draw to contend with but has been consistent leading up to his last win. LADY HEIST (2) takes on males and is back on the poly. She shoulders a fair weight but is another with consistent recent form.

Selections:

#5 SUNDANCE KID, #6 BOWIE, #9 SYX HOTFIX, #2 LADY HEIST

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 15.05.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R110,000, 15:20GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: RUGGER LOVER (10) has drawn widest but goes well over course and distance. She was only run out of it late when taking on males last run. ENCHANTING LADY (7) had consistent maiden form over the distance before winning. She was not far back in her handicap debut and the switch to the poly could bring out the best in her. ARVERNI PRINCESS (1) returns from a short break but goes well over course and distance and also has the best of the draw. VISION OF WILL (2) seldom runs a bad race and has shown her best form over course and distance. She should be right there again.

Selections:

#10 RUGGER LOVER, #7 ENCHANTING LADY, #1 ARVERNI PRINCESS, #2 VISION OF WILL

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 15.05.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R115,000, 15:55GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: SLEEK AS SILK (6) was not far back in a feature last time out and her two best recent efforts have been over course and distance. She is a strong contender. ZINIKELE (1) has found her best form since the blinkers were removed. She has a fair weight but has a plum draw and is in fine form. BLUE HORIZON (7) has been in the money in her last five outings including two wins. She has a handy galloping weight and should be in the money again. WONDERFUL (10) shed her maiden on the poly. She was not far behind the useful Celtic Beauty last time out and the drop in trip on the poly should suit.

Selections:

#6 SLEEK AS SILK, #1 ZINIKELE, #7 BLUE HORIZON, #10 WONDERFUL

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 15.05.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R110,000, 16:25GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: MR MOLONY (8) took on stronger last start from a tough draw so it could be wise to put a line through that effort. He had consistent form prior to that and this race looks tailor made. ONE IRISH ROVER (5) is back in the right division and was a close-up second behind BALLY MAGIC (2) when they last met. Bally Magic is better off at the weights but Richard Fourie replaces the 4kg apprentice who was aboard One Irish Rover last time out. L’ULTIMO (9) has his third run after a lengthy break. He showed signs of coming to hand last time out and could surprise.

Selections:

#8 MR MOLONY, #5 ONE IRISH ROVER, #2 BALLY MAGIC, #1 VICTOR RAIL

Best Win: #6 SLEEK AS SILK

Best Value Bet: #5 SUNDANCE KID

Best Longshot: #9 NOBLE WARRIOR
