HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 16.06.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R150,000, 12:15GMT+2
Race Summary: HOLY STAR (8) was a beaten favourite last time out and has two promising efforts behind his name. RAGING MOON (1) raced green on debut at long odds and was not far back while RATTLE THE PEACE (7) and CARDINAL CHIEF (6) may be worth following in the betting.
Selections: #8 HOLY STAR, #1 RAGING MOON, #7 RATTLE THE PEACE, #6 CARDINAL CHIEF
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 16.06.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R125,000, 12:50GMT+2
Race Summary: BELLIGERENT (1) has started at long odds in both of her starts but improved nicely second time out. ENGELANDPARK (3) cokes from a very much in form stable and was not far back in her Hollywoodbets Kenilworth debut and sure to have come on from that. The Duncan Howells pair of fillies OLIVE GROVE (10) and PERFUME POWER (7) have the benefit of experience and should come on from the last efforts.
Selections: #1 BELLIGERENT, #3 ENGELANDPARK, #10 OLIVE GROVE, #7 PERFUME POWER
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 16.06.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R110,000, 13:25GMT+2
Race Summary: PRIORY TERRACE (2) was well fancied in the betting on debut and finished a close-up second. That run should have brought her on. LUCIENNE (5) has yet to run a bad race and will be a big threat. She was touched off on this course last run in soft ground. ARE YOU SURE (4) has run her best race over course and distance. She has been consistent and should run another good race. CAPRICIOUS MISS (7) is sure to have come on from her debut effort and Gavin Lerena stays with the ride.
Selections: #2 PRIORY TERRACE, #5 LUCIENNE, #4 ARE YOU SURE, #7 CAPRICIOUS MISS
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 16.06.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1100m, Turf, R90,000, 14:00GMT+2
Race Summary: ULTRA QUICK (8) has a wide draw in a small field. He gets 4kg off his back and should be competitive in this line-up. ARVERNI PRINCESS (3) takes on males but has been consistent and is down in class. FATE OF FORTUNE (2) has useful recent form but mostly on the poly which is a concern. Stable companion WHEREVERILAYMYHAT (4) has been close-up at recent starts and has a strong money chance.
Selections: #8 ULTRA QUICK, #3 ARVERNI PRINCESS, #2 FATE OF FORTUNE, #4 WHEREVERILAYMYHAT
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 16.06.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 2400m, Turf, R125,000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: BAD MEDICINE (6) has run two smart races since shedding his maiden. If he can repeat his penultimate start behind Hollywoodbets July runner Okavango then he should be good enough in this line-up. The filly ARCTIC SILVER (7) cruised home in her maiden win. She looks promising and does not meet a strong field over this trip. ESCAPOLOGIST (2) is not the easiest and gives weight to all but is down in class and goes well for Cole Dicken. KING BAVARIAN (1) was a runaway winner on the poly last outing but got a six-point rise in the handicap. He does have a light weight. KING CELTILLUS (4) is still a maiden but has not been far back at recent outings and will only have 49kg on his back.
Selections: #6 BAD MEDICINE, #7 ARTIC SILVER, #2 ESCAPOLOGIST, #1 KING BAVARIAN
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 16.06.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R160,000, 15:10GMT+2
Race Summary: PLAZA ACCORD (8) has come well of late and goes well this course and distance. He should put in another honest effort. LOCK AND KEY (7) takes on males but has improved with each outings since arriving in KZN and looks primed for this. There should be very little between TIRPITZ (4) and IMPOSING (5) given their last meeting while MOJO MAN (6) steps up in trip and the extra can suit.
Selections: #8 PLAZA ACCORD, #7 LOCK AND KEY, #6 MOJO MAN, #4 TIRPITZ
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 16.06.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R175,000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: CYMRIC (10) has some smart form in useful company. He has a handy weight and could well be the horse to beat. LUHAMBA PHAMBILI (4) has been in good form since returning from the Cape. He was close-up in a strong field last time out. UN BEL DI (7) just needed his last run when making his local debut. He only has 48kg to shoulder. LION RAMPART (6) makes his local debut and comes with some useful Cape form. HITHEMHARDSUNSHINE (3) ran well above his current form when ahead of Luhamba Phambili last time out and will need a repeat showing considering his previous form.
Selections: #10 CYMRIC, #4 LUHAMBA PHAMBILI, #7 UN BEL DI, #6 LION RAMPART
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 16.06.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R140,000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: BLACK CHEETAH (12) looks to be a promising juvenile who could prove too classy for this field. MAJOR TOMMIE (6) returns from a lengthy break but shed his maiden at second time of asking after making a smart debut. If not ring-rusty he looks capable of a forward showing. TRIPPI T (1) took an age to shed his maiden but once the ice was broken he followed up nicely. He has been rested but is consistent. IBHELE (9) is down in class but knocking at the door. One to watch.
Selections: #12 BLACK CHEETAH, #6 MAJOR TOMMIE, #1 TRIPPI T, #9 IBHELE
Best Win: #6 BAD MEDICINE
Best Value Bet: #10 CYMRIC
Best Longshot: #8 PLAZA ACCORD
