Race Summary: Summary: TRIPPI T (8) is long overdue. One of his best recent efforts has been over course and distance and this looks to be the right field. HELSINKI (1) has consistent form over further. He is back to a sprint and can feature in this field. Mike Miller has given a qualified assessment of RECORD HIGH (4) and is expecting a good effort. Check the market support on this one. BOMBER STREAM (3) looks held on current form but has gone close on occasion.

Selections:

#8 TRIPPI T, #1 HELSINKI, #4 RECORD HIGH, #3 BOMBER STREAM

Race Summary: Summary: SAVANTRIX (7) returns from a lengthy break and makes his local debut on the poly. He has come down in the ratings but has some fair form in smart company. If not in need of the run he should be hard to beat. STRAWBERRY STINGER (2) shed his maiden over course and distance last season. He lost he way back in the Cape but showed signs of a form return last time out. WINTER WAVES (4) is never far back but drops to 1200m. He has a light weight and goes well on the poly. MUSIC IS LIFE (8) has some fair recent form and was not far back over course and distance last time out. He has a money chance.

Selections:

#7 SAVANTRIX, #2 STRAWBERRY STINGER, #4 WINTER WAVES, #8 MUSIC IS LIFE

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.06.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R110,000, 14:00GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: Wide open handicap. SAN MARZANO (8) was caught late by Tom’s Act last time out and is now 1kg better off in the handicap He should be able to turn the tables but there is not likely to be much in it. TOM’S ACT (4) finished strongly to collar San Marzano when last they met and a repeat of his finishing burst could see him go back-to-back. NATIONAL DREAM (6) was in need of his last run after retuning from a lengthy break. He may still need another outing but is fully capable on his best form. TIN CUP (7) is another that comes out of the Tom’s Act form finishing less than a length behind and is also better off with the winner.

Selections:

#8 SAN MARZANO, #4 TOM’S ACT, #6 NATIONAL DREAM, #7 TIN CUP

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.06.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R120,000, 14:35GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: Open. MADISON VALLEY (1) is a promising three-year-old but had it tough from a wide draw last time out. He put in two smart efforts in first time blinkers prior to that and from the best pf the draw he should feature prominently. RICCARDO (2) was only three lengths back to Hollywoodbets Durban July entries Flag Man and The Grey King last time out. His last win was over course and distance. SEND ME (7) makes his poly debut but was a touch disappointing last run at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. The blinkers are back on along with Richard Fourie. MASTER OF DESTINY (8) was running on late last start in soft ground. He has been knocking on the door of late and the extra furlong could now suit.

Selections:

#1 MADISON VALLEY, #2 RICCARDO, #7 SEND ME, #8 MASTER OF DESTINY

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.06.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R110,000, 15:15GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: PRETTY ANALIA (3) is something of a poly specialist and goes well over course and distance. She is due a second win with S’Manga Khumalo staying aboard. GREEN VALKYRIE (5) made a promising debut for her new stable and did have some fair Cape form prior to that. Of concern is that the stable has not had a winner in a long time although things do appear to be improving. Green Valkyrie could break the ice. PURPLE FLOWER (7) showed up well first run out of the maidens and the form of her maiden win has been franked. DRIVE BY (10) has a wide draw but has shown up well in her last two poly outings. She gets a 4kg claiming up and with some luck in running she will be right there in another open affair.

Selections:

#3 PRETTY ANALIA, #5 GREEN VALKYRIE, #7 PURPLE FLOWER, #10 DRIVE BY

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.06.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R120,000, 15:50GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: CYBER TIME (3) has been holding form well and was only four lengths off Flagman and The Grey King from a wide draw last time out. He had consistent form prior to that and goes well over this trip. DYNALLEY (4) looks the pick of the Dean Kannemeyer pair given the jockey engagements. He showed up well last run and the step up in trip should suit. BLACKBERRY MALT (5) showed signs of coming to hand again when just over two lengths behind the winner. He has his third local run since arriving from the Cape and the stable is in good form of late. KUMEMORI (6) was a comfortable winner when dropped in class last time out. He was given a hefty eight-point hit in the handicap which may have put paid to his winning chances here.

Selections:

#3 CYBER TIME, #4 DYNALLEY, #5 BLACKBERRY MALT, #6 KUMEMORI

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.06.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R110,000, 16:25GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: POLITICAL PARTY (1) has been taking on stronger at recent outings on the turf. He is down in class from the best of the draw and could give high-riding Richard Fourie a winner to round off his meeting. COUNT MARSH (11) has the widest draw to contend with but is a poly specialist and goes well this distance. BALLY MAGIC (5) has come well at recent outings over course and distance. He has a handy galloping weight and should feature. SPACE COWBOY (6) is coming along the right way and was finishing strongly last time out. The extra furlong should suit.

Selections:

#1 POLITICAL PARTY, #11 COUNT MARSH, #5 BALLY MAGIC, #6 SPACE COWBOY

Best Win: #1 POLITICAL PARTY

Best Value Bet: #3 CYBER TIME

Best Longshot: #6 NATIONAL DREAM
