Race Summary: CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT (1) has put in two promising efforts to date and was not far back in a strong maiden last time out. With a 4kg claimer up she should be competitive. MISS KANSAS (6) made a smart debut over course and distance but ran well below form at her last start. Big chance on her debut effort. DREAM DECISION (5) raced green on debut on this course and should come on with the run. QUEEN FENN (8) is consistent and can feature in this line-up. DI ROSA (9) has not been far back in her last five starts but is struggling. She was close-up on the poly at her last two.
Selections: #1 CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT, #6 MISS KANSAS, #5 DREAM DECISION, #8 QUEEN FENN

Race Summary: CATCH A PENNY (5) has not been out of the money in nine starts and has gone close over this distance. She takes on males but should be thereabouts again. NEXT OF KIN (8) was a beaten favourite at just his second start. He has shown up well in both outings and this trip should suit. DIGITAL ASSET (6) was staying on gamely behind the highly rated Bruh last time out. He has improved with each outing. CARNIVAL PARK (4) is another that has been improving all the while and the stable is in form.
Selections: #5 CATCH A PENNY, #8 NEXT OF KIN, #6 DIGITAL ASSET, #4 CARNIVAL PARK

Race Summary: FLYING SOUTH (1) has improved with every outing and was narrowly beaten last start. She steps up in trip but has the best of the draw in what appears to be a modest line-up. MISS TWINKLE (6) raced green on debut but did find some market support. She is sure to come on with the outing. SKIPPER O’MALLEY (10) has shown some ability and has a fair money chance. SNEEUWITJIE (12) gets first time blinkers and a light weight. She can surprise.
Selections: #1 FLYING SOUTH, #6 MISS TWINKLE, #10 SKIPPER O’MALLEY, #12 SNEEUWITJIE
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 20.07.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 2400m, Turf, R125,000, 14:45GMT+2
Race Summary: LADY MY LADY (9) is a lightly raced four-year-old who goes the trip for the first time. However, she only has 49kg to shoulder and was not far back at her last two. ESCAPOLOGIST (3) loves this course and distance and goes well for Cole Dicken. A repeat of her last effort will see her close again. OUR LADY FATE (6) steps up in trip but has had two promising warm-ups leading into the race. She should stay the trip and is one to follow in the market. SHINY BOB (4) won well last time out and has a 4kg claimer aboard while BAD MEDICINE (2) is better than his recent form would suggest.
Selections: #9 LADY MY LADY, #3 ESCAPOLOGIST, #6 OUR LADY FATE, #4 SHINY BOB
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 20.07.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R125,000, 15:20GMT+2
Race Summary: LADY ELEANOR (7) is lightly raced but shows promise. She disappointed first up on the poly but has done well over course and distance. VISION TO ACHIEVE (5) is in cracking form over course and distance but found Hot Pearl in a galloping mood last time out. HAPPY ANALIA (1) gets firs time blinkers. She is holding form and her last win was over course and distance. HURRICANE CAT (6) was much improved when winning first up with a tongue-tie. She is quick and has a chance again.
Selections: #7 ICY ELEANOR, #5 VISION TO ACHIEVE, #1 HAPPY ANALIA, #6 HURRICANE CAT
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 20.07.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R90,000, 16:00GMT+2
Race Summary: THESUPERNOVASTAR (3) was much improved with the blinkers removed and a repeat effort over course and distance should see him competitive. BEACH PALACE (4) was two lengths back to Thesupernovastar when last they met but the apprentice has been replaced by Callan Murray. Similar sentiments go to stable companion ATTABOY (6) with Gavin Lerena replacing an apprentice. SAIL TO THE MOON (7) was in that same race but having his first outing for Yogas Govender after arriving from the Western Cape where the form generally pans out well in KZN.
Selections: #3 THESUPERNOVASTAR, #4 BEACH PALACE, #7 SAIL TO THE MOON, #6 ATTABOY
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 20.07.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R125,000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Mike Miller has three chances here but judged by jockey bookings ETHEREAL VIEW (4) could be the stable elect. She had it tough from a wide draw on the poly last start but has good form over this trip. RADU (5) is holding form well and is back over what looks to be her optimum trip. PROM QUEEN (11) has a wide draw to contend with but has come well of late and with some luck in running should contest the finish. SKYTRIX (10) also has a wide draw but has a 4kg claimer aboard and showed signs of her best form last time out.
Selections: #4 ETHEREAL VIEW, #5 RADU, #11 PROM QUEEN, #10 SKYTRIX
Best Win: #1 FLYING SOUTH
Best Value Bet: #7 ICY ELEANOR
Best Longshot: #6 OUR LADY FATE
