HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 11.08.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R115,000, 12:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: APEX PREDATOR (3) is a lightly raced four-year-old but has been a beaten favourite at his last two starts. He was close-up second at his last run on this course and can go one better from a good draw. WARHEAD (4) started at fairly long odds on debut but showed up well behind the well-tried Trippi T. He should benefit from the experience and will be a big threat. FINALMENTE (2) raced green on debut but gets first time blinkers from a good draw and can make the required improvement. AMOR FATI (6) comes from a very much in form stable. He improved nicely second time out and should be thereabouts. (Andrew Harrison: 3-4-2-6).
Selections:
#3 APEX PREDATOR, #4 WARHEAD, #2 FINALMENTE, #6 AMOR FATI
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 11.08.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R115,000, 13:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Many first timers here and the form of the raced runners is thin. However, REAL WAR (6) was not far back behind the smart winner Henry Harvey and with a 4kg claimer up he does look to be the horse to beat. LUNELUCK (2) made his debut against winners and was a long way behind Dantonfromsandton. He meets a lot weaker here and with the experience is sure to improve on his debut effort. CLAUDE MONET (11) should improve on his debut effort as should ACTOR (12) although both have drawn wide. The betting should be your best guide. (Andrew Harrison: 6-2-11-12).
Selections:
#6 REAL WAR, #2 LUNELUCK, #11 CLAUDE MONET, #12 ACTOR
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 11.08.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R115,000, 13:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Tricky maiden where many can make sudden improvement and the betting should prove a guide. However, YELLOW JACKET (11) found the 1950m too far last time out after some improved showings prior to that. She has a tricky draw to contended with but also has a useful 4kg claimer aboard. HER ROYALTY (7) has shown some ability, stays the trip and should be running on late. OH MANDY (6) comes with modest Cape form as she makes her local debut but is one to watch closely in the market. Visiting trainer Alec Laird has a number of runners on the day so it could pay to keep an eye on first-timer TUSCAN STAR (3). (Andrew Harrison: 11-7-6-3).
Selections:
#11 YELLOW JACKET, #7 HER ROYALTY, #6 OH MANDY, #3 TUSCAN STAR
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 11.08.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R115,000, 14:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: QONDANEKUKHANYENI (9) found strong market support last run after a couple of modest sprints but found one to good. The step up in trip could suit. Corrie Lensley is a rare visitor to these shores and sends out ANGEL OF MY HEART (2) who has consistent Highveld form over ground. HURRICANE FLIGHT (6) has improved at recent starts and appears to have come to hand. She stays the trip and a repeat of her latest should see her back in the money. Muzi Yeni has jumped ship on Qondanekukhanyei which could prove significant. Yeni has been replaced on RAINBOW OF ROSES (1) by 4kg claimer Nurvan Nastili and from the best of the draw must have a winning chance. (Andrew Harrison: 9-2-6-1).
Selections:
#9 QONDANEKUKHANYENI, #2 ANGEL OF MY HEART, #6 HURRICANE FLIGHT, #1 RAINBOW OF ROSES
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 11.08.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R110,000, 14:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: TRUSOVA (11) has been knocking on the door for some time now. He gets first time blinkers and can make the required improvement. FIELD MARSHAL (3) goes this trip for the first time but has been consistent over shorter. The stable is in good form of late and are astute in training stayers. TIN CUP (2) is holding form well and although his last two starts have been on the poly he is equally effective on the turf. GUY ALEXANDER (1) has consistent recent Highveld form over the distance and comes into the race with only 48kg to shoulder and he may prove hard to catch. (Andrew Harrison: 11-3-2-1).
Selections:
#11 TRUSOVA, #3 FIELD MARSHAL, #2 TIN CUP, #1 GUY ALEXANDER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 11.08.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R110,000, 15:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: LADYBUG (5) is lightly raced. She made a promising debut and followed up with a comfortable win. She switches to the turf but could prove too strong for this line-up. GOLDEN MOMENT (3) was a narrow winner on debut and her two handicap efforts have been promising. She makes her local debut from a good draw and should make a strong bid. LADY ELLIOT (7) takes on a little stronger here but comes with useful Highveld form. She was a beaten favourite last time out and Muzi Yeni is back on board. FAR HORIZON (6) has consistent form over shorter. She steps up in trip and has a chance if she stays the extra. (Andrew Harrison: 5-3-7-6).
Selections:
#5 , #3 GOLDEN MOMENT, #7 LADY ELLIOT, #6 FAR HORIZON
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 11.08.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R110,000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Wide open handicap. STEVIE GEE (8) has done most of his recent racing on the poly but he has been consistent and was a beaten favourite at his last two. The extra furlong could now be what he’s looking for. LAKE COMO (1) has been taking on stronger at recent outings. He has the best of the draw and is over his optimum trip. COPPER JOHN (11) comes with modest Highveld form but all over further. The drop in trip could see him competitive. BRASS BELL (7) is never far off. All his recent form has been on the poly the switch should not trouble him. (Andrew Harrison: 8-1-11-7).
Selections:
#8 STEVIE GEE, #1 LAKE COMO, #11 COPPER JOHN, #7 BRASS BELL
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 11.08.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R115,000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Tough handicap. GROVEFIELD (4) has shown ability and has been taking on stronger since shedding his maiden. He returns from a short break but if anywhere near racing fit, he should make a bold bid. LASHLAROO (5) returns from a lengthy break after finding a mile well out of his compass. He has shown promise and back over what looks to be a more suitable trip he could be the surprise package. ONE TOO MANY (8) won well on the poly last run but goes well this trip and with a 4kg claimer up he should be competitive again. PROFESSOR LUPIN (6) could well prove to be the best of Alyson Wright’s trio given the jockey bookings. (Andrew Harrison: 4-5-8-6).
Selections:
#4 GROVEFIELD, #5 LASHLAROO, #8 ONE TOO MANY, #6 PROFESSOR LUPIN
Best Win: #9 QONDANEKUKHANYENI
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #6 PROFESSOR LUPIN
