RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: GREYVILLE@2025.10.12
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 12.10.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R110,000, 12:05GMT+2
Race Summary: THE MARQUEE made a smart debut starting at odds of 100-1. A repeat can see him go one better. Favourite for that race was JOHNNY BOY who finished six lengths back. He has a wide draw but is back over the course where he made a promising debut. EASTERN HIGHLANDS was a touch disappointing when trying a furlong further in the soft. He made a useful debut over course and distance and has the best of the draw. Of the first timers PLACE OF PRACTICE and CHRISTMAS CACTUS make some appeal.
Selections: #8 THE MARQUEE, #13 JOHNNY BOY, #1 EASTERN HIGHLANDS, #3 PLACE OF PRACTICE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 12.10.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R110,000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: CHEERSCHEERSCHEERS was a close-up third last run at just his second start. He gets first time blinkers which could see him home. GREEN GLOW was a distant second on debut but should come on from that effort. MOUNT KENNEDY was not far back when making his debut over 1400m. Gareth van Zyl has stepped him up in trip with first time blinkers. LIGHT THE FIRE has put in three decent sprints. Gary Rich has jumped him up in trip and is one to watch in the betting.
Selections: #13 CHEERSCHEERSCHEERS, #9 GREEN GLOW, #12 LIGHT THE FIRE, #11 MOUNT KENNEDY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 12.10.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R110,000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: SAINT BRIGID has only had one local outing and was not far back from a wide draw. She is up in class but has a light weight and should come on from her last outing. GREENHOUSE has been knocking on the door for some time now. She goes well this trip and is due a change of fortune. ACACIA’S BLOSSOM has dropped three points in the ratings and is 1kg better off with Greenhouse on their last meeting so there should not be much between them. PROM QUEEN has the widest draw but has been consistent of ate and has a good money chance.
Selections: #2 SAINT BRIGID, #9 GREENHOUSE, #10 ACACIA’S BLOSSOM, #11 PROM QUEEN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 12.10.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R120,000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: COGNAC was an impressive winner on debut and looks to have plenty of scope for improvement. CIRCUMBENDIBUS has shown up well in two local starts and takes the turn for the first time. LUNELUCK is lightly raced but has been showing steady recent improvement and looks ripe. INTREPID has smart form on the poly but also goes well on the turf. He gets a 4kg claimer up and is not out of it.
Selections: #4 COGNAC, #7 CIRCUMBENDIBUS, #1 LUNELUCK, #6 INTREPID
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 12.10.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R165,000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: CATS PAJAMAS is returning from a break but is best in at the weights given his rating. Frank Robinson can get them fit first time out. AFRICAN SKYLINE gets blinkers again and has bottom weight from the best of the draw. O’TENIKWA is never far back and is fairly well treated at the weights. There should be little between FUTURE VARIETY and I AM GIANT both returning from short breaks.
Selections: #10 CATS PAJAMAS, #1 AFRICAN SKYLINE, #6 O’TENIKWA, #7 FUTURE VARIETY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 12.10.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R160,000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: WHISPERING DEATH makes his long awaited reappearance after showing smart juvenile form. If he has trained on he will be hard to beat. ON MY HONOUR will prefer it a lot further but is smart and his class can pull him through. ACTOR has shown up well at his last two but has more to do here. BRISTOL HERCULES is never far back and has a strong money chance.
Selections: #2 WHISPERING DEATH, #8 ON MY HONOUR, #7 ACTOR, #5 BRISTOL HERCULES
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 12.10.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R160,000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: QUICKSTEPGAL makes her seasonal debut but is top class. She gets a 4kg claimer aboard and if ready will be hard to beat. WARRIOR ROYALE seemed to be short of a run last start and should come on from that effort. LADYOFDISTINCTION has a touch of class but has not been out since November last year. She might need this. ONE PATH is lightly raced but can finish in the money.
Selections: #6 QUICKSTEPGAL, #3 WARRIOR ROYALE, #5 LADYOFDISTINCTION, #7 ONE PATH
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 12.10.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1900m, Turf, R175,000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: OFFICER IN COMMAND has joint bottom weight but was scratched from Tuesday’s meeting with stipes permission probably with this race in mind. Candice Dawson makes a raid from the Highveld with PIONEER SQUARE. He is a lightly raced gelding but won well last time out and can go close in a field of this nature. FIELD MARSHAL will prefer further but does have a touch of class. JOHNNY THE THIEF is holding form well and his last win was over course and distance. GO GRAYSON GO enjoyed the extra last run and can follow up.
Selections: #7 OFFICER IN COMMAND, #11 PIONEER SQUARE, #2 FIELD MARSHAL, #4 JOHNNY THE THIEF
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 12.10.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R120,000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: BUDDY BOY stepped up to a mile after making a promising sprint debut, simply romped home. That sprint form has held up well so he looks to be a colt with more to come. KANAAL SKATER showed up well first run out of the maidens. He steps up to a mile for the first time and he should enjoy the extra. TURBO TWENTY won well in his local debut after coming off a Cape win. He appears to have come to hand. MOHAVE PRINCE was not far back in his handicap debut.
Selections: #2 BUDDY BOY, #7 KANAAL SKATER, #10 TURBO TWENTY, #5 MOHAVE PRINCE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 12.10.2025, Race 10, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R120,000, 17:20GMT+2
Race Summary: GOTTA GO EDDIE has not missed a cheque in six starts. He goes well this trip and has the best of the draw. LUCKY DOLLAR has drawn wide but is in good form and he will prefer this trip. KIMBAL O’HARA is never far back over shorter but he may now prefer this trip. One to watch in the market. MASTER DU ROUVRAY was a recent maiden winner but has had his issues and can still improve.
Selections: #1 GOTTA GO EDDIE, #11 LUCKY DOLLAR, #2 KIMBALL O’HARA, #10 MASTER DU ROUVRAY
Best Win: #6 QUICKSTEPGAL
Best Value Bet: #8 Two G’s
Best Longshot: #10 CATS PAJAMAS
