Race Summary: CELESTIAL DIAMOND (4) was friendless in the market on debut but finished close-up in spite of racing green over course and distance. TULIP FIELDS (13) found good market support when making her debut over 1400m on the poly. She raced green and although down in trip and on the turf she has a strong chance. DANCEWITHDIAMONDS (6) comes from a very much in form stable and one to watch in the betting. WATER HYACINTH (2) found market support last time out and was not far back. She can feature.
Selections: #4 CELESTIAL DIAMOND, #13 TULIP FIELDS, #6 DANCEWITHDIAMONDS, #2 WATER HYACINTH
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 14.06.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R150,000, 12:55GMT+2
Race Summary: GOTTA GO EDDIE (10) has shown up well in both starts and was a fair second over course and distance on debut. BOARDWALK BREEZE (3) has not been far back in two starts to date. He should be all the better for the experience and Yeni stays with the ride. FRENCH WAR LORD (11) raced green in a promising debut and is sure to improve on that effort. THE CENTURION (6) was not far back in his Hollywoodbets Kenilworth debut in soft ground. He started at longs odds but may be worth watching here.
Selections: #10 GOTTA GO EDDIE, #3 BOARDWALK BREEZE, #11 FRENCH WAR LORD, #6 THE CENTURION
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 14.06.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R150,000, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: THAT’LL B THE DAY (2) was narrowly beaten on this course at just his second outing. That experience will count in his favour. LIGHT THE FIRE (6) was green in a promising debut and should come on with the outing. The regally-bred GIMME RULES (12) makes his debut and is a full brother to Gr1 performers. NEXT OF KIN (11) comes from a top stable and will be worth watching in the betting.
Selections: #2 THAT’LL B THE DAY, #6 LIGHT THE FIRE, #12 GIMMIE RULES, #11 NEXT OF KIN
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 14.06.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R125,000, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: STAR IN MOTION (1) steps up in trip but has been narrowly beaten at his last two on the poly. The extra should suit and he can go one better. WORLD OF ROYALTY (3) has put in two smart efforts over shorter in soft ground and was a beaten favourite last time out. The trip will suit and he should pout in a big showing. CAPTAINSHIP (4) started at long odds when going the trip for the first time from the widest draw at Hollywoodbets Greyville. He has Richard Fourie in the irons. VENCEDOR (7) has come good of late and stays the trip well. He is another to consider.
Selections: #1 STAR IN MOTION, #3 WORLD OF ROYALTY, #4 CAPTAINSHIP, #7 VENCEDOR
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 14.06.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R140,000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: BLUE HOLLY (5) is back over what looks to be her preferred trip. This is her third run in KZN and should be at her peak. MIA’S ATHENA (3) has had her problems but has her third run back after a lengthy break. She was close-up last start has a light weight. She can give apprentice Savanna Valjalo her first winner. CONVOCATION (4) was possibly out-classed in the SA Fillies Sprint last time out after showing good form to weaker prior to that. She may prefer it a touch further. VISION TO ACHIEVE (6) has been in mustard form over course and distance. She has a handy weight and can go in again.
Selections: #5 BLUE HOLLY, #3 MIA’S ATHENA, #6 VISION TO ACHIEVE, #4 CONVOCATION
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 14.06.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 2400m, Turf, R350,000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: MY SOUL MATE (6) stays well and was runner-up in a strong Woolavington 2000 field. She will be a big runner. WORLD OF ALICE (9) was narrowly beaten in the Gr2 SA Oaks by star filly Fiery Pegasus. She was a little disappointing last time out but rates a strong chance ion this line-up. GIVE ME EVERYTHING (3) steps up to this trip for the first time. She looks held by My Soul Mate on their last meeting but can do better than that. KNOCKOUT (4) has not been far back at recent outings. She steps up in trip and cannot be left out of any calculations.
Selections: #6 MY SOUL MATE, #9 WORLD OF ALICE, #3 GIVE ME EVERYTHING, #4 KNOCKOUT
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 14.06.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 2400m, Turf, R350,000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: FUTURE SWING (8) was a close-up second to the lightly weighted FIELD MARSHAL (5) last time out. He is 5.5kg better off at the weights so should be able to turn the tables. HOLDING THUMBS (6) is 2.5kg better off with Future Swing on their Field Marshall encounter. He stays the distance well and looks the part. CAPE EAGLE (2) goes well over course and distance and had no luck in running in the WSB 1900. He is seldom out of the money. Field Marshal looks well held at the weights but is an improving three-year-old and can still give a lot of cheek.
Selections: #6 HOLDING THUMBS, #8 FUTURE SWING, #2 CAPE EAGLE, #5 FIELD MARSHAL
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 14.06.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R140,000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: ROSH KEDESH (2) is down in class and has shown up well in two KZN starts. He should be primed for this. HONOR OF KINGS (10) was not far back when starting favourite last run. The extra furlong will suit and he can make amends. SERPINTINE FIRE (1) is 1.5kg better off with Honor Of Kings for a length beating. There should be very little in it this time around with Serpentine Fire having the better draw this time around. RED MOUNTIAN (13) is never far back and although drawn wide he has a 4kg claimer aboard and the blinkers are back on.
Selections: #2 ROSH KEDESH, #1 SERPENTINE FIRE, #10 HONOR OF KINGS, #13 RED MOUNTAIN
Best Win: #6 HOLDING THUMBS
Best Value Bet: #5 BLUE HOLLY
Best Longshot: #1 SERPENTINE FIRE
