Race Summary: Summary: Frank Robinson’s colt MY BOY LOLLIPOP (6) was involved in a tight finish with the well-fancied Definitely Yes at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last Sunday. The balance were well beaten and a repeat should see him difficult to beat. GOT THE WORD (10) made a promising debut at lengthy odds for Garth Puller and the experience will count in his favour. DON’T JUDGE (2) was not far back on debut and that form has been franked. Kom Naidoo has three runners, best of which could be the first-timer FINALMENTE (8).
Selections:
#6 MY BOY LOLLIPOP, #10 GOT THE WORD, #2 DONT JUDGE, #8 FINALMENTE
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 23.06.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R130,000, 12:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: IZIBULO (2) was touched off when jumping to 1800m last time out. She was well supported in the betting and can go one better. LAUGH TILL I CRY (1) found good market support in her debut sprint. She was well beaten but that experience should count in her favour and she should much prefer this trip from the best of the draw. GRAND OCCASION (5) was a close-up third on the poly last run and the extra furlong did suit. She should go well here. SAFE AND SOUND (7) can do better than her last outing and the step up in trip will suit.
Selections:
#2 IZIBULO, #1 LAUGH TILL I CRY, #5 GRAND OCCASION, #7 SAFE AND SOUND
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 23.06.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R130,000, 13:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: RHYDIAN (6) has been run out of it late in his only three starts. The form has held up and he should be able to go one better although he does face some useful opposition. GOLD RUSH KID (4) has shown up well in two sprints and from a good draw over a better trip he should make a bold effort. VIEW OF THE WORLD (9) has shown up well in his first two starts. The trip will suit. INGQWELE (7) showed some improvement last run on the Highveld where he did find some market support. He could be coming to hand for Mike de Kock.
Selections:
#6 RHYDIAN, #4 GOLD RUSH KID, #9 VIEW OF THE WORLD, #7 INGQWELE
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 23.06.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R115,000, 13:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: HURRICANE CAT (1) made good improvement at her second start both her starts have been over course and distance. RUBY RISING (11) was much improved second time out and any improvement will see her close again. EDGE OF TOMORROW (5) looks held by Hurricane Cat on their last meetings but she is improving fast and can turn the tables. BLOWIN IN THE WIND (12) disappointed when going the turn for the first time. She is much better than her last run and back to a straight course could bring out the best.
Selections:
#1 HURRICANE CAT, #11 RUBY RISING, #5 EDGE OF TOMORROW, #12 BLOWIN IN THE WIND
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 23.06.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R115,000, 14:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Tricky maiden. FLYING COOL (2) has been close-up in all four starts. The blinkers go on and he can make the required improvement. There was very little separating LANDSEER (4) and DAPPER (8) when last they met. They both step up to a mile and the betting could be your best guide on these two. ROTOTO (7) was a little disappointing last time out and can improve while CAPTAIN MARSALA (9) has been run out of it close home at his last two and must also have strong claims.
Selections:
#2 FLYINGCOOL, #4 LANDSEER, #8 DAPPER, #9 CAPTAIN MARSALA
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 23.06.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R120,000, 15:05GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: THAT’S MY BABY (3) won a tight contest last time out and that form has been franked. This is her third run after a lengthy lay-off and she appeals as a strong chance. ZINIKELE (11) has the widest draw but she is in good form and goes well this trip. The blinkers appear to have done the trick. SOVEREIGN GRANT (5) was just under two lengths behind That’s My Baby when last they met. She is 2.5kg kg better off in the handicap which could bring them a lot closer together. VISION TO ACHIEVE (9) steps up in trip after showing improvement last time out. The blinkers are back on and she has a money chance.
Selections:
#3 THAT’S MY BABY, #11 ZINIKELE, #5 SOVEREIGN GRANT, #9 VISION TO ACHIEVE
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 23.06.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R115,000, 15:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Competitive handicap. PHILISPIEL (9) goes well over course and distance and looks to be well in at the weights. JET LEGACY (3) is lightly raced but has shown up well in two runs back from lengthy lay-offs. CELTIC CHIEF (10) was a recent maiden winner for Andre Nel first up in KZN. He should be competitive. TRAFALGAR SQUARE (6) has shown his best recent form on the poly track but Richard Fourie has stayed with the ride which could prove significant.
Selections:
#9 PHILISPIEL, #3 JET LEGACY, #10 CELTIC CHIEF, #6 TRAFALGAR SQUARE
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 23.06.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R110,000, 16:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: KHETHIWE’S DESTINY (6) made steady improvement to shed her maiden at just her second start. She meets a modest field here and can follow up. RAFEEF’S CHOICE (5) is back to a sprint but has some useful form over the trip and looks a big threat. MAGGIE SMITH (10) found one too good last run and with Fourie staying with the ride she must have a strong chance of going one better. ONE SMART COOKIE (12) was a recent maiden winner and has improved in blinkers. She also has some useful form on this course.
Selections:
#6 KHETHIWE’S DESTINY, #5 RAFEEF’S CHOICE, #10 MAGGIE SMITH, #12 ONE SMART COOKIE
Best Win: #6 MY BOY LOLLIPOP
Best Value Bet: #2 FLYINGCOOL
Best Longshot: #3 JET LEGACY
