HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 13.07.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R125,000, 11:45GMT+2
Race Summary: PEMBURY (5) was much improved over course and distance at his second start and a repeat should see him close up again. There are two runners entered for the Gr1 Premier’s Champion Stakes at month end. THE CENTURION (1) made a promising local debut and is sure to come on from that from his pole position draw. MASTER SILVANO (3) started favourite over course and distance last time out. He has two smart efforts under his girth and must go close again. CLINTOSTAR (8) should improve over the extra furlong and is one to watch.
Selections: #5 PEMBURY, #1 THE CENTURION, #3 MASTER SILVANO, #8 CLINTOSTAR
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 13.07.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R160,000, 12:20GMT+2
Race Summary: WINDS OF CHANGE (5) was never in the hunt in the soft going behind Tenago in the Gr1 Golden Horse Sprint but had solid feature race form prior to that. He makes his poly debut and is weighted to win. FUTURE VARIETY (4) finished ahead of Winds Of Change in the Golden Horse but is 3kg worse off. BOURBON WARRIOR (7) is better than his last two and can place. HENRY HARVEY (2) makes a return after a length break. He showed promise in his debut victory and has a money chance.
Selections: #5 WINDS OF CHANGE, #4 FUTURE VARIETY, #7 BOURBON WARRIOR, #2 HENRY HARVEY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 13.07.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R125,000, 12:55GMT+2
Race Summary: BERRINGTON BLEW (8) was well beaten last run by Quickstepgal who has since finished second in a Gr2. With only 50.5kg to shoulder she could prove difficult to beat. However, HOLY STAR (6) has improved with each run and Gavin Lerena will be up against an inexperienced apprentice while PRIORY TERRACE (7) has finished runner-up at her first two starts and must rate a good chance.
Selections: #8 BERRINGTON BLEW, #6 HOLY STAR, #7 PRIORY TERRACE, #11 HIGHER LOVE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 13.07.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R90,000, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: VALLI GAL (3) showed up well when back after a break. She goes well over course and distance and must have a strong chance in this line-up although she faces a number of fillies with ultra-light weights which could muddy the waters. JUMPTHEGREENLIGHT (6) has not been far back in her three starts but comes from a strong yard and the filly should go well in this field. INTRO (8) made a fair debut for her new stable and given her Highveld form the extra furlong should suit. LINE IN THE SKY (10) is better than her last effort and goes well on the poly.
Selections: #3 VALLI GAL, #6 JUMPTHEGREENLIGHT, #8 INTRO, #10 LINE IN THE SKY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 13.07.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R100,000, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: SPECTACULAR (11) was most disappointing when starting favourite in his poly debut. He has some useful Cape form prior to that and with a more experienced rider aboard he can make amends. TAKEYOURBESTSHOT (8) has shown up well in two starts for his new stable and will be competitive in this line-up. WINDOW TO MY SOUL (1) made marked improvement over course and distance in his poly debut but also disappointed next time out. Alyson Wright has declared blinkers which could make the difference. BALTIC ASSAYER (6) takes on males as she steps up in trip but has shown some recent improvement.
Selections: #11 SPECTACULAR, #8 TAKEYOURBESTSHOT, #1 WINDOW TO MY SOUL, #6 BALTIC ASSAYER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 13.07.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R140,000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: LEGENDARY (5) is lightly raced but ran a cracker behind the smart Choisaanada in a feature last time out. He rates the one to beat. PRINCE FLORIAN (3) made a tardy start to his last race with his jockey losing an iron. Ignore that outing and he has a strong chance in this field. NUMZAAN (4) was a comfortable winner last run and has been in mustard form over course and distance but he has taken a six-point hike in the ratings. STAR OF THE FUTURE (10) failed narrowly in first time blinkers. He acts on the poly and can go one better although drawn a touch wide.
Selections: #5 LEGENDARY, #3 PRINCE FLORIAN, #10 STAR OF THE FUTURE, #4 NUMZAAN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 13.07.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R90,000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: ZIYAN’S PRIDE (1) holds an entry for the Gr1 Premier’s Champion Stakes and if he doesn’t go close here his chances in the big race will be remote. He was a maiden winner last start and second-placed Bruh runs this Wednesday which may give some indication of his chances. EL REY VIENE (10) had it tough from a wide draw last start and makes his debut on the new poly surface. He is seldom far back. Stable companion CONNOISSEUR (8) made sudden improvement first up on the poly. It has been a long time between since his maiden win but is useful on his day. PORFIRIO (4) has been dropping down the ratings and with a 4kg claimer up will be dangerous.
Selections: #1 ZIYAN’S PRIDE, #10 EL REY VIENE, #4 PORFIRIO, #8 CONNOISSEUR
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 13.07.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R160,000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: MEXICAN PETE (3) has come well for his new stable and was not far back over course and distance last time out. He is primed for a good performance. HOPE IS POWER (1) is consistent. The step up in trip from a plum draw with S’Manga Khumalo up makes him a serious runner. VOLDEMORT (8) was run out of it late over course and distance last start carrying a big weight. He is up in class but has consistent form to back his claims. PLAZA ACCORD (2) is over his optimum trip with a handy galloping weight and a good draw.
Selections: #3 MEXICAN PETE, #1 HOPE IS POWER, #8 VOLDEMORT, #2 PLAZA ACCORD
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 13.07.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R90,000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: ONE IRISH ROVER (1) seldom runs a bad race and makes the switch to the poly. He has a 4kg claimer up from a plum draw and should be thereabouts. VICTOR RAIL (5) has been close-up over course and distance at recent outings and should be competitive. The two fillies, GLAMORZ (2) and GAELIC DANCER (3) have similar consistent profiles and big weights but neither can be written off.
Selections: #1 ONE IRISH ROVER, #5 VICTOR RAIL, #2 GLAMORZ, #3 GAELIC DANCER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 13.07.2025, Race 10, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R125,000, 17:00GMT+2
Race Summary: The two-year-old CRAFTY CROFTY (9) has a wide draw to contend with but was a comfortable winner of her maiden at just second time of asking and looks promising. The year older PAPILLON BLU (10) has drawn one gate further out but is unbeaten on the poly and cruised to an easy win last time out. She takes a big jump in the handicap but has Gavin Lerena in the saddle. HAPPY FORTUNE (3) has come good at her last two and can go one better over what looks to be her best course. GETOFFMYCLOUD (4) has dropped in the ratings but does look better than her two post maiden efforts.
Selections: #9 CRAFTY CROFTY, #10 PAPILLON BLU, #3 HAPPY FORTUNE, #4 GETOFFOFMYCLOUD
Best Win: #5 LEGENDARY
Best Value Bet: #3 MEXICAN PETE
Best Longshot: #4 PORFIRIO
