Race Summary: Summary: LADY OF VIX (2) was ante-post favourite before being withdrawn from her previous intended start. She made a promising debut and should build on that effort for Tony Rivalland. GETOFFOFMYCLOUD (3) showed up well on debut for Dean Kannemeyer and has had the benefit over a run over course and distance. BOA LA (4) is lightly raced but showed up well first run back from a lengthy break and was well supported in the betting. MISS MAYFLY (5) was due to run on Friday night but was much improved last time out. (Andrew Harrison: 2-3-4-5).
Selections:
#2 LADY OF VIX, #3 GETOFFOFMYCLOUD, #4 BAO LA, #5 MISS MAYFLY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 03.11.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R90,000, 13:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Tricky maiden. WORLD OF OUR OWN (1) found one too good for him when starting favourite last time out. He has shown up well in both starts for Alyson Wright and from the best of the draw can go one better. ROOSTER BRADSHAW (8) made marked improvement at second time of asking. He can build on that effort and must have a big chance. HODGEPODGE (3) takes on males but ran a smart race over course and distance last time out and was well supported in the market. IRISH ANTHEM (10) was well beaten on debut in spite of being relatively short in the market but gets first time blinkers and any market support must be respected. FREDDY SLATER (5) cam up empty when favourite last run while the filly OUR LADY FATE (2) has been a beaten favourite at her last two. (Andrew Harrison: 1-8-3-10).
Selections:
#1 WORLD OF OUR OWN, #8 ROOSTER BRADSHAW, #3 HODGEPODGE, #10 IRISH ANTHEM
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 03.11.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R117,000, 13:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: SEE IT AGAIN (1) and ROYAL VICTORY (2) are both warming up for the Gr1 Betway Summer Cup and racing over a distance short of their best. They have not been out since the end of late season but the pair are rated way above the opposition so it is a case over class versus fitter runners. FORMAGEAR (3) goes well over course and distance and won well in a comeback sprint last timeout. He will prefer this trip although way out at the weights with the above mention pair. Stable companion MASCHERINA (5) has won three of her last four and off a light weight could give them the run-around. (Andrew Harrison: 1-3-2-5).
Selections:
#1 SEE IT AGAIN, #2 ROYAL VICTORY, #3 FORMAGEAR, #5 MASCHERINA
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 03.11.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R90,000, 14:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: GLOBAL MOVEMENT (11) has a deep draw to overcome but boasts good form for Tienie Prinsloo and takes a big drop in class. DUKE OF AFRICA (2) has been knocking on the door since his maiden win and was not far behind stable companion Field Marshal last time out starting at long odds. He too is down in class. KING BAVARIAN (10) has not been out of the money in his last three and the stable appears to have turned the corner. Also dropping in class is BURNING MAN (9). He has been a touch disappointing since his comfortable maiden victory but a switch to the turf could help his cause. (Andrew Harrison: 11-2-10-9).
Selections:
#11 GLOBAL MOVEMENT, #2 ELUSIVE BELLE, #10 KING BAVARIAN, #9 BURNING MAN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 03.11.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R90,000, 14:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: ONE SMART COOKIE (7) has been holding form and goes well this trip. She can improve on her last run going the turn again and could be the one to beat. QUERARI ROSE (3) has only her third start and was a comfortable maiden winner last time out. She looks progressive. QONDANEKUKHANYENI (6) has been racing over much further but has done well over this trip. Garth Puller is never shy in running his horses over various distances. MISS PAGET (2) is back on the turf. She was a beaten favourite at her last two and can make amends from a good draw. (Andrew Harrison: 7-3-6-2).
Selections:
#7 ONE SMART COOKIE, #3 QUERARI ROSE, #6 QONDANEKUKHANYENI, #2 MISS PAGET
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 03.11.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1100m, Turf, R120,000, 15:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Competitive race. SUN BLUSHED (13) is the best weighted but has not been out since July and has a wide draw to contend with so indications are that he may need this outing. PRAY FOR RAIN (3) was disappointing last time out but had solid form prior to that. He is well in at these weights and must have a decent chance. CAPTAIN BOMBSHELL (8) is way better than his last run and is also favourably weighted. MISTER MASTER STARTER (10) has drawn wide but was running hard at Formagear last time out and is never too far back. (Andrew Harrison: 8-3-10-13).
Selections:
#8 CAPTAIN BOMBSHELL, #3 PRAY FOR RAIN, #10 MR MASTER STARTER, #13 SUN BLUSHED
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 03.11.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R90,000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Wide open handicap. STORMY CHOICE (3) has good form on this course and is holding form well. She was touched off last run and can go one better. SHANTA’S PRIDE (2) was labelled a ‘good thing’ at her last start and that assessment was on the money with the return of blinkers seemingly bring out the best. She won well enough to suggest that she can follow up. PATANTS HEIR (10) obviously has problems given her record but she does have ability and if she can overcome a wide draw she will be competitive. EMERALD GREEN (1) has the best of the draw and is over her best trip. She only has 49kg to shoulder and could go all the way. (Andrew Harrison: 3-2-10-1).
Selections:
#3 STORMY CHOICE, #2 SHANTA’S PRIDE, #10 PATANTS HEIR, #1 EMERALD GREEN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 03.11.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R90,000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: CABINET SHUFFLE (9) has run well to stronger at his last two over course and distance. He is down in class her but Louis Gooden has penciled in a 4kg claimer so the inference is obvious. Nathan Kotzen has dispensed with the blinkers after NOW I GOT YOU (5) did not respond. The gelding ran a much improved race at his penultimate start and looks well weighted. TERIYAKI (4) is relatively lightly raced but is seldom far behind. He was a game winner at long odds last time out and can come on from that effort. LAZY GUY (10) was narrowly beaten by Teriyaki when last they met and was outclassed last run. He has a wide draw but a light weight. (Andrew Harrison: 9-5-4-10).
Selections:
#9 CABINET SHUFFLE, #5 NOW I GOT YOU, #4 TERIYAKI, #10 LAZY GUY
Best Win: #2 LADY OF VIX
Best Value Bet: #8 CAPTAIN BOMBSHELL
Best Longshot: #1 EMERALD GREEN
