HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 28.05.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R125,000, 11:05GMT+2
Race Summary: STAR IN MOTION (9) was narrowly beaten over course and distance last time out and with the experience could be difficult to peg back. VICTOR HUGO (3) has been knocking at the door for some time now. He was not far back in his local debut and can finish a lot closer this time around. HIGHER LOVE (6) has been rested but found good market support at his last run and appears to have come to hand. BOARDWALK BREEZE (2) raced green on debut and was not far back. He started at long odds that day and the experience should see him come on from a handy draw.
Selections: #9 STAR IN MOTION, #3 VICTOR HUGO, #6 HIGHER LOVE, #2 BOARDWALK BREEZE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 28.05.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R90,000, 11:40GMT+2
Race Summary: GORGEOUS BOMB (6) was a touch disappointing last run when starting a short-priced favourite. She makes her poly debut and can improve on that showing. MIDNIGHT HOUR (1) has raced green in both starts but should be at her best now. She has the best of the draw. PAPILLON BLUE (10) has a wide draw but Cape form is generally a little stronger than local. CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS (7) showed up well first run for her new stable. The yard is in good form and she can build on that effort. Keep an eye on the well bred first timer BETH DUTTON (4).
Selections: #6 GORGEOUS BOMB, #1 MIDNIGHT HOUR, #10 PAPILLON BLU, #7 CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 28.05.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R90,000, 12:15GMT+2
Race Summary: L’ULTIMO (6) has his third run after a lengthy break. He gets 4kg relief from the saddle and he loves this course and distance. PORFIRIO (4) has been showing signs of coming to hand again and was dropped a point in the handicap. He is back on his favourite surface. MAC HARDY (2) is never far back and goes well over course and distance. He has a good draw and should be competitive. GORGEOUS DUDE (8) was a beaten favourite last run. There should be very little between him and Mac Hardy but the latter has the better gate.
Selections: #6 L’ULTIMO, #4 PORFIRIO, #2 MAC HARDY, #8 GORGEOUS DUDE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 28.05.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R125,000, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: SILVER PLATTER (1) is a big long-striding gelding but tends to be one-paced. If given his head early he could finally get his head in front when in matters. KING CELTILLUS (2) was just in need of his last run. He makes his poly debut but should still have more to come. I AM CLASSY (8) has shown some recent improvement in blinkers and the switch to the poly could suit. BLACK PLATINA (4) looks held by Silver Platter on their last meeting but he does show some promise and can get closer.
Selections: #1 SILVER PLATTER, #2 KING CELTILLUS, #8 I AM CLASSY, #4 BLACK PLATINA
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 28.05.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R125,000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: MASTER BOMBER (11) was a recent maiden winner but improved in blinkers and the Western Cape form was once again to the fore. He has a handy weight and can follow up. Veteran RICCARDO (12) is seldom far back and has been dropping in the handicap. He has a big weight and a wide draw but should enjoy the refurbished poly track. QUEEN AMINA (2) takes on males but is useful and was narrowly beaten last run. She goes well this trip and rates a strong chance. EVENTIDOR (6) had his consistency rewarded last run. He enjoyed the poly and can follow up.
Selections: #11 MASTER BOMBER, #12 RICCARDO, #2 QUEEN AMINA, #6 EVENTIDOR
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 28.05.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R140,000, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: GOODNESSGRACIOUSME (4) raced against strong opposition in her KZN debut and is back over what looks to be a more suitable trip. JEANNE DARC (2) was possibly outclassed in the Gr2 WSB Fillies Guineas last run but ran a cracker in her penultimate start. She has a fair weight to shoulder but jumps from a handy gate. FIREBURST (7) has yet to run a back race and showed up well on the poly last time out. She should be competitive. ICE RAIN (10) has the widest draw but goes well this trip and has a strong money chance.
Selections: #4 GOODNESSGRACIOUSME, #2 JEANNE DARC, #7 FIREBURST, #10 ICE RAIN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 28.05.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R100,000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: GRIFFIN PARK (2) has been much improved in blinkers. He gets a stronger rider aboard here and has a handy draw. CAPTAIN’S PRIDE (6) takes on well exposed older horses. She goes well this trip and should make a race of it. CAPPELLINO (7) is struggling for his second win but now races off what could be a more competitive mark. His last two were improved showings. MASK ON (1) is another that has come down in the ratings. He returns from a rest and if not short of a gallop he can feature in this line-up.
Selections: #2 GRIFFIN PARK, #6 CAPTAIN’S PRIDE, #7 CAPPELLINO, #1 MASK ON
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 28.05.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R80,000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: ON BOARD (3) may just have needed her last run. She has good local form in the soft and the poly should suit. QUENTASIA (8) had her consistency rewarded last outing, winning well over course and distance. Her 4kg claiming apprentice stays with the ride and they can follow up. COPACABANA (4) has improved without a tongue-tie. She is 2.5kg better of with Quentasia on their last meeting for a 3.5 length beating and can turn the tables. CAPE CAPRI (1) is showing signs of coming to hand. She has a handy galloping weight and the best of the draw.
Selections: #3 ON BOARD, #8 QUENTASIA, #4 COPACABANA, #1 CAPE CAPRI
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 28.05.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R160,000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: LEGAL COUNCIL (11) may just have needed his last run when starting favourite for The Sledgehammer at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He boasts excellent Cape form and can make amends. GOLDEN DESTINY (5) is better than his last effort and has his third run after a break. He shows promise and should be right up there. THISISWHATITMEANS (7) won well last run when back on the poly. He got a six-point raise in the handicap but looks capable again. NELSON BAY (1) has been in good form of late and loves this trip. He has the best of the draw and should be right up there again.
Selections: #11 LEGAL COUNSEL, #5 GOLDEN DESTINY, #1 NELSON BAY, #7 THISISWHATITMEANS
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 28.05.2025, Race 10, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R140,000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: NIGHT ROCKER (1) showed up well on the poly when returning from a break and first time blinkers. He will much prefer the extra furlong. TERIYAKI (11) has a wide draw but has been showing promising sprint form. The step up in trip and Andrew Fortune in the irons could bring out the best. THE GLIDING FISH (6) caught the eye when just behind the placed runners last time out. He seems to prefer the poly and can surprise. PREEMPTIVE STRIKE (8) is never far back. He goes well on the poly and stays the trip.
Selections: #1 NIGHT ROCKER, #11 TERIYAKI, #6 THE GLIDING FISH, #8 PREEMPTIVE STRIKE
Best Win: #11 LEGAL COUNSEL
Best Value Bet: #3 ON BOARD
Best Longshot: #7 CAPPELLINO
