Race Summary: LADY OF VIX takes on males once again and steps up in class. However, she only has 49kg to shoulder. MAJOR TOMMIE was third behind Lady Of Vix last time out.

Race Summary: SOHOT SOWHAT has consistent form and ran a cracker in a Gr3 feature last time out behind the smart Green Sapphire. A repeat should see her home. CONVOCATION gave a glimpse of her best form when runner-up on the poly last time out. She is smart on her day and can go close. CAPTAIN’S CHRISTY is seldom far back and goes well on this course while BLUE HOLLY is over due but has an inexperienced apprentice aboard.

Race Summary: ECHO was a modest third last outing on the poly after going close at her previous start. She is lightly raced with a 4kg claimer up. PROMISE OF FIRE has been a little disappointing but stays the trip and will go close on her best showing. LIGHTINTHEDARKNESS has run her two best recent races in blinkers. She too has a 4kg claimer up. DEE DAY is battling but does pop up on occasion and has a money chance.
Selections: #10 ECHO, #9 PROMISE OF FIRE, #6 LIGHTINTHEDARKNESS, #3 DEE DAY

Race Summary: GURKHA is useful and showed up well at his last two. The form of his last run has been franked. FRENCH TRIP has come to hand and was narrowly beaten on this course last time out. He drops in class. HARUN AL RASHID was a little disappointing in his handicap debut but does look capable of better. WORLD OF OUR OWN is down in class and should benefit from a 4kg claimer and pole position draw.
Selections: #3 GURKHA, #4 FRENCH TRIP, #1 WORLD OF OUR OWN, #5 HARUN AL RASHID
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 30.07.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1950m, Turf, R160,000, 15:25GMT+2
Race Summary: PLUM PUDDING is unbeaten in two since arriving in KZN and has only gone up marginally in the handicap. She takes on some hard-knocking males but does appear capable of a hattrick. There should not be too much between VIEW OF THE WORLD and TROIS TROIS QUATRE with a length separating them when last they met. View Of The World is now 1kg better off. THE MIKADO returns from a break but the stable is confident that he is fit and well and will run a forward race.
Selections: #2 PLUM PUDDING, #1 VIEW OF THE WORLD, #3 THE MIKADO, #5 TROIS TROIS QUATRE

Race Summary: ROSH KEDESH was a good second on the poly last run when jumping from a wide gate. He has the best of the draw here. THE SHEPHERD returns from a lengthy break but is smart on his day. He has a big weight but his last win was over course and distance. Stable companion NELON BAY is better than his last effort on the poly. He has been rested but stable is starting to fire up again. KITCHAKAL seldom runs a bad race. In good form of late and can feature.
Selections: #1 ROSH KEDESH, #7 THE SHEPHERD, #5 NELSON BAY, #6 KITCHAKAL
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 30.07.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R125,000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: SIGN OF FATE narrowly beaten by Plum Pudding last run and shows consistent recent form. Distance suited and should go well again. FORWARD MOTION was a comfortable winner last run under a light weight. She is down in class with a 4kg claimer up and can follow up. BEAUTIFUL RANIA is holding form and has a light weight. He last win was on this course. Judged on jockey bookings IZIBULO looks to be the ick of the Hollywood Racing pair and she looks to be coming to hand.

Best Win: #3 SOHOT SOWHAT
Best Value Bet: #4 SIGN OF FATE
