RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: GREYVILLE POLYTRACK@2024.10.23
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 23.10.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R90,000, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Tony Rivalland’s filly LADY OF VIX (9) made a smart debut on the turf at Hollywoodbets Scottsville but if she has come on from that effort the poly and the widest draw should not be an issue. DIYARANI (6) was a distant fourth last run and although rested both runs were in the soft on the turf and any market support will see her as a big contender. DRESSEDTOTHENINES (4) has shown her best form on the poly while FEEL THE WIND (3) was much improved last run and has first time blinkers for Yogas Govender. (Andrew Harrison: 9-6-4-3).
Selections:
#9 LADY OF VIX, #6 DIYARANI, #4 DRESSEDTOTHENINES, #3 FEEL THE WIND
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 23.10.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R90,000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: GOOD LIVING (8) has been knocking on the door for some time now and the Paul Lafferty stable is in good form. The gelding switches to the poly but on his best form he should make a bold bid. Danger could be MO KING (3). His two best efforts have been on the poly and he should keep Good Living honest. MIND MAP (1) did show some promise in the Cape but his last run is best ignored. The poly could suit and with first time cheek pieces he could give a lot of cheek. RAILROAD (5) is struggling but can finish in the money. (Andrew Harrison: 8-3-1-5).
Selections:
#8 GOOD LIVING, #3 MO KING, #1 MIND MAP, #5 RAILROAD
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 23.10.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R90,000, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Three unraced runners in what is a race with thin form. Take note of any market support. MERITORIOUS (1) and MOCHA BLEND (2) look the most likely to feature. Of those that have run, DEE DAY (5) has not been far back at recent outings and this trip should suit. RUN FOR PEACE (8) has been rested but did show improvement at her second start and the step up in trip should suit. (Andrew Harrison: 5-8-2-1).
Selections:
#5 DEE DAY, #8 RUN FOR PEACE, #2 MOCHA BLEND, #1 MERITORIOUS
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 23.10.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R90,000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Tricky Maiden. MAGMA MAGIC (2) has been knocking on the door for Tony Rivalland and now switches to the poly. He is distance suited and should run another forward race. BRAVE BOMBER (1) has improved with each outing and from the best of the draw should be competitive. PRICELESS PEARL (6) improved nicely last run, only his third start and second on the poly. The stable is in form and he is one to watch. FIRELIGHTER (8) was much improved last run when friendless in the betting. He may now have found his form and if he can build on his last run he must have a chance. (Andrew Harrison: 2-1-6-8).
Selections:
#2 MAGMA MAGIC, #1 BRAVE BOMBER, #6 PRICELESS PEARL, #8 FIRELIGHTER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 23.10.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R90,000, 15:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Open handicap in spite of the small field. WAVE WARRIOR (5) seldom runs a poor race and takes a slight drop in the handicap. Muzi Yeni rides for Alyson Wright which could prove significant. ONE IRISH ROVER (3) made eye-catching improvement last start and is 3.5kg better off with L’ULTIMO (2) who has improved in blinkers but does look held at the weights after his three-point raise in the handicap. COUNT MARSH (7) is useful on his day and can feature prominently in this company. (Andrew Harrison: 5-3-2-7).
Selections:
#5 WAVE WARRIOR, #3 ONE IRISH ROVER, #2 L’ULTIMO, #7 COUNT MARSH
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 23.10.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R87,750, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: MISS PAGET (4) is smart and this race looks to be at her mercy. She is a course and distance specialist and should be in with a big shout. Main danger could be THE GHOST (6). The Paul Lafferty stable is in very good form and although the grey only shed her maiden last time out, her pre-maiden form was solid and she must have a strong chance in this line-up. Carl Hewitson has two soldiers in CHELSEA FLOWER (2) and ASPOESTERTJIE (3). The former has fair poly form against slightly stronger while the latter switches to the poly and is well capable on her day. (Andrew Harrison: 4-6-3-2).
Selections:
#4 MISS PAGET, #6 THE GHOST, #3 ASPOESTERTJIE, #2 CHELSEA FLOWER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 23.10.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R90,000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: The two three-year-olds GINGER DELIGHT (4) and BEAUTIFUL RANIA (1) have useful recent form and should be right up there in modest company but Paul Gadsby has declared blinkers on MISS LIALAH (8) and for an older mare that could prove decisive. KITTEN’S ADVENTURE (3) comes from an in-form stable and is better than her recent form would suggest. (Andrew Harrison: 8-4-1-3).
Selections:
#8 MISS LIALAH, #4 GINGER DELIGHT, #1 BEAUTIFUL RANIA, #3 KITTEN’S ADVENTURE
Best Win: #4 MISS PAGET
Best Value Bet: #8 MISS LIALAH
Best Longshot: #6 PRICELESS PEARL
