Race Summary: Summary: AVERNIAN PRINCESS (10) has finished runner-up in all three of her starts. She was a beaten 1-4 favourite last time out and can make amends back on the poly. She does face some stiff opposition. LIKE A BUTTERFLY (5) has been close-up at her last two when dropped back to a sprint but has had plenty of opportunity. So Has HEAD GIRL (3) who has her 15th bite at the cherry.  Her best recent form has been on the poly but she goes well this trip.  FEATHER DANCER (8) has not been too far back at recent outings and can finish in the money. (Andrew Harrison: 10-5-3-8).

Selections:

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.07.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1700m, Poly, R110,000, 13:00GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: Tricky maiden. ISORENDER (5) found good market support last run and ran a much improved race. A repeat should see him in the firing line. BELLA’S PABLO (6) has not been far back in recent Cape form. He meets a modest field here and should be competitive. UNCLE LUCKY (7) has been improving slowly. Cheek pieces replace the blinkers and he can go close on his best showing. CASTLE MEY (8) was a distant third last run. He gets first time blinkers and can show further improvement. (Andrew Harrison: 5-6-7-8).

Selections:

#5 ISORENDER, #6 BELLA’S PABLO, #7 UNCLE LUCKY, #8 CASTLE MEY

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.07.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R110,000, 13:35GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: Competitive handicap. ALLAROUNDTHEWORLD (5) has been knocking at the door for his next win and has good form on the poly. He stayed on nicely last start. NATIONAL DREAM (3) has his third run after a break and with Rachel Venniker’s 1.5kg allowance he should be competitive. PORFIRIO (2) goes well over course and distance. He has a pilum draw and the experienced Gavin Lerena aboard. FISH EAGLE (1) is always dangerous on the poly and is way better than his last effort. (Andrew Harrison: 5-3-2-1).

Selections:

#5 ALLAROUNDTHEWORLD, #3 NATIONAL DREAM, #2 PORFIRIO, #1 FISH EAGLE

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.07.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R110,000, 14:10GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: JANE’S VISION (6) has done well over course and distance and is overdue another win. PRANKSTER (7) has made some recent improvement in blinkers and has taken a slight drop in the handicap. POPPY OF BAYEUX (8) is back over her best trip with a light weight and should make an impression. The blinkers come off BEADED GROWN (2) and with a 4kg claimer aboard she has a light weight and could surprise. (Andrew Harrison: 6-7-8-2).

Selections:

#6 JANE’S VISION, #7 PRANKSTER, #2 BEADED GOWN, #8 POPPY OF BAYEUX

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.07.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R110,000, 14:45GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: ONE TOO MANY (1) was narrowly beaten when taking on stronger last time out. This is his third run after a break and Gavin Lerena stays with the ride. BLESS ME FRED (7) is quick and not been far behind at recent outings. The poly may suit and he could be hard to catch with a 4kg claimer aboard. Stabe companion CHARA SANDS (9) goes well on the poly and is never far back. She gets stable rider Rachel Venniker aboard but the claimer could be of more benefit for Bless Me Fred. NDAKA (10) won well last time out but takes on stronger here from a wide draw. (Andrew Harrison: 1-7-9-10).

Selections:

#1 ONE TOO MANY, #7 BLESS ME FRED, #9 CHARA SANDS, #10 NDAKA

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.07.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R110,000, 15:20GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: Wide open. PUFF OF SMOKE (2) has come good of late and was a smart second over course and distance last time out. She has another good draw and should be competitive. MISS LIALAH (1) has the best of the draw and is over what looks to be her optimum course and distance. PRETTY ANALIA (8) was a touch disappointing last run but is back over her best distance. She is knocking at the door for her next win. PURPLE FLOWER (11) is never far off but has a wide draw to contend with. (Andrew Harrison: 2-1-8-11).

Selections:

#2 PUFF OF SMOKE, #1 MISS LIALAH, #8 PRETTY ANALIA, #11 PURPLE FLOWER

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.07.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R110,000, 15:55GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: COUNT MARSH (6) has been knocking on the door of late and was narrowly beaten from a tough draw last time out. He should make a bold bid. The filly DEVILS AND DUST (4) is over her best course and distance and looks well in at the weights. There should not be anything between FATE OF FORTUNE (7) and BRAVE VOYAGER (8), a short head between them when last they met over a furlong shorter. The latter could prevail again as he his slightly better off at the weights without Rachel Venniker’s 1.5kg allowance. (Andrew Harrison: 6-4-8-7).

Selections:

#6 COUNT MARSH, #4 DEVILS AND DUST, #8 BRAVE VOYAGER, #7 FATE OF FORTUNE

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 14.07.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R110,000, 16:35GMT+2

Race Summary: Summary: GLOBAL SECRET (2) takes on males but has been consistent over course and distance and should put in another good effort. L’ULTIMO (4) has been struggling off his handicap mark but take a five-point drop which could see him surprise on his best form. BALLY MAGIC (8) has smart recent form over course and distance. He did get a five-point jump in the handicap for his last win but he should still be competitive.  KNIGHT WARRIOR (6) has come to hand of late and the stable is in good form. (Andrew Harrison: 2-4-8-6).

Selections:

#2 GLOBAL SECRET, #4 L’ULTIMO, #8 BALLY MAGIC, #6 KNIGHT WARRIOR
