HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 17.06.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R130,000, 11:40GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Mostly first timers so the betting should prove to be your best guide. Of those that have run, AMANATTO (3) made a promising Vaal debut for Sean Tarry who has an enviable record at this course. The experience could count enough to see her home. 16 FEEL THE WIND (16) showed some pace on debut and should come on with the experience. JET LAVISH (15) needed her last run on the poly. She is back on turf with the blinkers back on and she can feature. PULL A FAST ONE (14) has shown some ability and has a money chance.
Selections:
#3 AMANATTO, #16 FEEL THE WIND, #15 JET LAVISH, #14 PULL A FAST ONE
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 17.06.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R130,000, 12:15GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Many first timers so keep an eye on the market. WORLD PHAROAH (14) just needed his last run and that form has panned out well. The stable has been short of form but that could change here. MY BOY LOLLIPOP (11) flopped on the poly after making a smart debut. He was not far back last time out and is the most experienced runner in the field. GOOD LIVING (9) has not been too far back in both outings. He did find some market support last time out. Of the first timers, Dean Kannemeyer is fairly confident of a good first outing for DEFINITELY YES (7).
Selections:
#14 WORLD PHAROAH, #11 MY BOY LOLLIPOP, #9 GOOD LIVING, #7 DEFINITELY YES
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 17.06.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R115,000, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: BLOWIN IN THE WIND (1) comes with some useful Cape form and was a beaten favourite last run at Fairview with first time blinkers. She has her first outing for Alyson Wright who’s stable is in fine form at present. FACILE (2) showed up well on debut over course and distance. She should come on a few lengths from that showing for Glen Kotzen. LITTLEBLACKNUMER (6) is way better than her last effort. The extra should suit. THE QUEEN BEE (10) has been knocking on the door for some time now. She appears limited but has never bee far back.
Selections:
#1 BLOWIN IN THE WIND, #2 FACILE, #6 LITTLEBLACKGEM, #10 THE QUEEN BEE
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 17.06.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R110,000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Difficult handicap. BUZZ BOMB (3) was a beaten favourite when making his handicap debut. He has a fair weight but does look to have more improvement to come. VERMACILLI (4) is struggling for her next win but she drops back to what may prove to be a more suitable trip. The blinkers go on and Muzi Yeni gets the leg up. CRESTED EAGLE (10) has a wide draw but has shown some improvement of late and is down in class. PONGOLA (11) has a wide draw to contend with but has been consistent and should feature in the finish.
Selections:
#3 BUZZ BOMB, #4 VERMACILLI, #10 CRESTED EAGLE, #11 PONGOLA
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 17.06.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1750m, Turf, R120,000, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Competitive handicap. Mike de Kock sends out MARAUDING HORDE (8) who has been trying further in feature company of late but is back down to what could prove to be a more suitable trip. The blinkers are back on. ANCIENT WORLD (1) has been holding form in good company. He goes well over the trip and the best of the draw. He looks the pick of Mike Miller’s two runners. MASTER FUEGO (5) is 2kg worse off with Ancient World on their last meeting but Dean Kannemeyer’s runner is holding form well and should be in the shake-up. DOWN BY THE RIVER (12) is not the easiest but has come well of late and can finish in the money.
Selections:
#8 MARAUDING HORDE, #1 ANCIENT WORLD, #5 MASTER FUEGO, #12 DOWN BY THE RIVER
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 17.06.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1950m, Turf, R115,000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: ESCAPE ARTIST (8) has been consistent of late. She takes a three-pound drop in the handicap and together with a big drop in class, Richard Fourie could notch another win for Sean Tarry. PINSTRIPE (5) has been trying further but could prove more effective over this trip. Duncan Howells stays with Rachel Venniker with her 1.5kg allowance. NIGHTINGALES SING (4) has been taking on stronger from wide draws since her maiden win. She has dropped in the ratings and although shouldering a big weight she should be competitive. LIGHT OF DAY (11) is never far behind although her recent form has been on the poly.
Selections:
#8 ESCAPE ARTIST, #5 PINSTRIPE, #4 NIGHTINGALES SING, #11 LIGHT OF DAY
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 17.06.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R130,000, 15:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: MAGIC TATOO (8) goes well over the distance and was narrowly beaten last run by HITEMHARDSUNSHINE (1). However, Sean Tarry’s runner is now 4kg better off with his rival and should be able to turn the tables. LUNARCAM (2) was touched off in the 400m dash last time out and is super quick. He only has 52kg to shoulder and his last win was over course and distance. COIN SPINNER (6) is over his preferred trip. The blinkers are back on and he looks competitive off this weight.
Selections:
#8 MAGIC TATTOO, #2 LUNARCAM, #6 COIN SPINNER, #1 HITHEMHARDSUNSHINE
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 17.06.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R110,000, 15:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Competitive handicap. HEREINAFTER (3) has won her last two and has been creeping up the handicap. Her penultimate win was over course and distance and has twice beaten Rugger Lover. RUGGER LOVER (4) has since franked that form and had her consistency rewarded after a string of second placings. Hereinafter could again have her held at the weights. Her recent form has been on the poly but she does go well on turf. Louis Goosen has backed up ARVERNI PRINCESS (1) five days after her last run when just over a length off Poppy Of Bayeux. A 4kg claimer has her in with a light weight. Stable companion EMERALD GREEN (10) is never far back and can finish in the money.
Selections:
#3 HEREINAFTER, #4 RUGGER LOVER, #1 ARVERNI PRINCESS, #10 EMERALD GREEN
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 17.06.2024, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R110,000, 16:23GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Apprentice Danyan Pillay gets his first run for Michael Roberts on NORTHERN WARRIOR (12). The gelding has smart form over course and distance and it could be a winning debut for the apprentice although you take your chances. He will be up against Richard Fourie aboard MAR DEL PLATA (10) for Tony Rivalland who also has consistent form over the trip and should be concerned in the finish. INTREPID (2) takes a big drop in class and was not far back in stronger company last time out. Useful apprentice Trent Mayhew takes 4kg off his back and that could be enough. FIRE TONIC (15) may well have found the trip a touch far last time out and both his wins have been over course and distance.
Selections:
#2 INTREPID, #12 NORTHERN WARRIOR, #10 MAR DEL PLATA, #15 FIRE TONIC
Best Win: #8 MAGIC TATTOO
Best Value Bet: #8 MARAUDING HORDE
Best Longshot: #4 VERMACILLI
