HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 19.06.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R115,000, 13:05GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Modest maiden field. ELUSIVE BELLE (9) has shown steady form over shorter but could well be looking for this trip. She makes the switch to the poly. DEE DAY (3) has been consistent on the poly. She steps up in trip and should have a strong chance in this line-up. FATE DECREED (2) has not been far back in her last two and could also benefit from a step up in distance. EXODUS SONG (4) has shown little in two sprints but comes from a strong stable and the step up in trip could see her improve.
Selections:
#9 ELUSIVE BELLE, #3 DEE DAY, #2 FATE DECREED, #4 EXODUS SONG
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 19.06.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R107,250, 13:40GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: KIMBALL O’Hara (2) has been taking on much stronger of late. He showed some improvement last run and could have the measure of this field. Kom Naidoo broke the drought last week and can add to his tally with PORFIRIO (5) who looks to be coming on the right way and meets a modest handicap field. BRAVE VOYAGER (7) has smart form over course and distance and will make a bold bid with the combination of Dennis Bosch/Rachel Venniker in deadly form. FOREST JUMP (1) is always dangerous and can pop up.
Selections:
#2 KIMBALL O’HARA, #7 BRAVE VOYAGER, #5 PORFIRIO, #1 FOREST JUMP
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 19.06.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R115,000, 14:15GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: IMPERIOUS DESTINY (1) has run two cracking races over course and distance when switched to the poly. She has the best of the draw and should run another big race. SPRING KISS (6) has also taken to the poly and was narrowly beaten last time out after two wins. She has a handy galloping weight and Richard Fourie stays with the ride. BOSNAY (9) is showing signs of her best form which will see her go close. LADIES WORLD (7) shed her maiden when making her poly debut over the distance. She is up from the Cape so more can be expected. RADU (4) showed signs of er best form last run. She stays the trip and switches to the poly.
Selections:
#1 IMPERIOUS DESTINY, #6 SPRING KISS, #9 BOSNAY, #4 RADU
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 19.06.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R110,000, 14:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Tough handicap. CUPID’S SONG (10) has the widest draw and top weight but does get 4kg relief from the saddle. He has good form over course and distance. PALERMO (5) was a recent easy maiden winner and has improved in blinkers. S’Manga Khumalo stays with the ride for Tienie Prinsloo. FISH EAGEL (2) is something of a poly specialist and from a good draw he should make a bold bid. WOODLAND GLADE (1) takes on males and was a beaten favourite when making her poly debut.
Selections:
#10 CUPID’S SONG, #5 PALERMO, #1 WOODLAND GLADE, #2 FISH EAGLE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 19.06.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R110,000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Wide open handicap. WAVE WARRIOR (4) has been holding form well and does well on the poly. Richard Fourie rides. ROY’S ROCKER (9) was a close-up third against stronger when under sufferance. She is back in at the weights and is always game. KING BAVARIAN (10) is showing signs of coming to hand. He goes well on the poly and is consistent. COLUMBIA ROAD (5) was running on well when runner-up last time out. She has a handy galloping weight and should have a good chance.
Selections:
#4 WAVE WARRIOR, #9 ROY’S ROCKER, #10 KING BAVARIAN, #5 COLUMBIA ROAD
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 19.06.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R110,000, 16:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Wide open handicap. WINTER WAVES (1) only got a two-pound raise in the handicap for his last win over 1200m. He loves the poly and the extra furlong will suit from the best of the draw. The grey BRASS BELL (6) steps up in class but has been in good form of late. Muzi Yeni takes over in the saddle with regular rider apprentice James Lihaba unable to make the weight. LAKE COMO (7) switches to the poly but has consistent recent turf form over the trip. Older horses generally take to the synthetic surface. MADISON BLUES (3) returns from a lengthy break and may need it as his best form is over much further.
Selections:
#1 WINTER WAVES, #6 BRASS BELL, #7 LAKE COMO, #3 MADISON BLUES
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 19.06.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R110,000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: PERFECT TRUST (1) was close-up over a sprint last week but should be more suited to this longer trip. She is 1.5kg better off with MISS PAGET (3) who beat her under a length when last they met separated by Green Valkyrie who has since franked that form. DEVILS AND DUST (5) seldom runs a bad race. She has been trying a furlong further at her last two but could prove better over this trip. Rachel Venniker rides at her absolute minimum weight. KITTEN’S ADVENTURE (4) is way better than her last run. Prior to that she had consistent poly form over the trip.
Selections:
#1 PERFECT TRUST, #3 MISS PAGET, #5 DEVILS AND DUST, #4 KITTEN’S ADVENTURE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 19.06.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R115,000, 17:15GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: LA DIVINA (4) makes her local debut off some useful Cape form. She has a handy galloping weight and stays the trip. SHANTA’S PRIDE (3) has been in good form on the turf. She has gone well on the synthetic surface and will be a big threat to the first selection. NOBLE STORM (7) has run two smart races on the poly over course and distance and with Rachel Venniker’s 1.5kg allowance she could go one better. PATANS HEIR (10) has been rested but does show promise and any market support should be taken seriously.
Selections:
#4 LA DIVINA, #3 SHANTA’S PRIDE, #7 NOBLE STORM, #10 PATANTS HEIR
Best Win: #2 KIMBALL O’HARA
Best Value Bet: #4 LA DIVINA
Best Longshot: #7 LAKE COMO
