HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 19.10.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R100,000, 12:05GMT+2
Race Summary: OKLAHOMA GIRL made a smart debut at lengthy odds. She drops back to a sprint but a repeat should see her in the firing line. SAUDI SWEEP made a promising debut for her new stable and also first run with a tongue-tie. With experience under her girth she must have a decent chance. LEVITATOR has shown up well in two starts over course and distance and has the best of the draw. PENAN NOM found some market support on the poly last outing. Switch to turf could prove beneficial.
Selections: #6 OKLAHOMA GIRL, #8 SAUDI SWEEP, #1 LEVITATOR, #3 PENAN NOM
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 19.10.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R110,000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: BOMBARDIER BOY was a touch disappointing in an Open Maiden last run after making his debut on the poly. He takes on this field on equal terms and can make amends. MFETHU was a little disappointing last run after a smart effort behind the promising Exocet. Sean Veale should have had the pick of the rides. MYSTIC DANCER comes off a lengthy break and takes on males. She made a smart debut and then ended her season a beaten odds-on favourite when finding Quickstepgal in the maidens. If not short of a run she will be competitive. AMBER ALERT found long-shot market support last start and showed some improvement.
Selections: #8 BOMBARDIER BOY, #4 MYSTIC DANCER, #9 MFETHU, #7 AMBER ALERT
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 19.10.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R100,000, 13:10GMT+2
Race Summary: ANNIE’S SONG is lightly raced but just needed her last run after returning from a lengthy break. She meets modest opposition. LEMON THYME has shown some ability and the step up in trip should suit. MS GALORE race too handy last run. Allowed to settle and run on she will be dangerous. SHEEZAROCKET has come on at her last two and goes well for Rachel Venniker.
Selections: #7 ANNIE’S SONG, #4 MS GALORE, #8 LEMON THYME, #1 SHEEZAROCKET
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 19.10.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R90,000, 13:45GMT+2
Race Summary: SEND ME has been up against stronger at recent outings on the poly. He gets relief from the saddle in a 2.5kg claiming apprentice and from the best of the draw should be competitive. LOU LOU THE LEGEND is reunited with Sean Veale after winning a sprint three runs back. He steps up to a mile this time around but will have no trouble seeing it out. GORGEOUS DUDE has been in good form over shorter but does see out the trip and has a handy galloping weight. SAIL TO THE MOON improved back in blinkers when just ahead of Gorgeous Dude but does have a tricky draw to contend with.
Selections: #1 SEND ME, #2 LOU LOU THE LEGEND, #6 GORGEOUS DUDE, #10 SAIL TO THE MOON
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 19.10.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1900m, Turf, R120,000, 14:20GMT+2
Race Summary: CONTINENTALEXPRESS has come well of late winning his last two over 2400m. This shorter trip could find him out but the stable is in good form and he should put in another good effort. Judged on rider bookings, FRENCH TRIP looks to be the pick of the Duncan Howells pair. His recent form is not inspiring but the step up in trip could be what brings out the best. Stable companion PAPA C has been consistent of late and can follow up on his last win although he is 1.5kg worse off with RICCARDO who made sudden improvement last run. SPECTACULAR is back on the turf for the first time in a while and has been knocking at the door of late.
Selections: #11 CONTINENTALEXPRESS, #2 FRENCH TRIP, #4 SPECTACULAR, #5 RICCARDO
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 19.10.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1900m, Turf, R100,000, 14:55GMT+2
Race Summary: LA MADDALENA steps up in trip but has been holding form well. She has a handy galloping weight and looks the part in a wide open race. OUR LADY FATE is joint top weight but has also been in good form of late She stays the trip well. PRINCESS PALACE is a game front runner and was outpaced late over shorter last outing. She can do better this trip. PINK DIAMOND had her consistency rewarded last run but did get a three-point rise in the handicap.
Selections: #5 LA MADDALENA, #3 OUR LADY FATE, #1 ETHEREAL VIEW, #10 PINK DIAMOND
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 19.10.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R120,000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: TREATY OF PARIS has a hefty merit rating to contend with but is down in class from his last run and if running up to his rating he could be hard to peg back. DAPPER is also down in class and gets 2.5kg relief from the saddle. He has not been out of the money in his last four and can go one better. TOWN CRIER is lightly raced but started favourite first up in handicap company. He is up in class but has a light weight and the stable is in good form of late. EL DANTE showed up well over a distance short of his best last Sunday. He will prefer this trip.
Selections: #4 TREATY OF PARIS, #10 DAPPER, #12 EL DANTE, #11 TOWN CRIER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 19.10.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R160,000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: SEE IT AGAIN shoulders top weight and his struggling for his next win. However, he is effective over this trip and is never far back at the highest level. Former Summer Cup winner ROYAL VICTORY has had his mental issues, sometime refusing to go to the start. He has had the attention of a ‘horse whisperer’ and has been passed fit to race. He is in the same category as Like See It Again but you take his behavior on trust. LICENCE TO THRILL has been in excellent form down the Hollywoodbets Scottsville straight and the form of his last win has been franked. He takes the turn over an extra furlong and does look to be held given the conditions of the race. Adam Azzie has his first runners after his move to Summerveld and saddles the filly GIMMEFABULOUS. She has not been out since May but has obvious ability and a light weight to boot.
Selections: #4 SEE IT AGAIN, #8 ROYAL VICTORY, #2 LICENCE TO THRILL, #3 GIMMEFABULOUS
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 19.10.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R135,000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: WILD JUSTICE is unbeaten in two and appears to have a tough of class. He steps into the unknown in a useful field but he does look to be progressive. HIERKOMMIEBOKKE has his first run for Dennis Bosch. She comes off some patchy Highveld form but is very well in at the weights and from the best of the draw could be the one to beat. ICY BLAST followed up on his good second to Licence To Thrill by winning next time out. He appears to have appreciated the drop to a sprint and Muzi Yeni stays with the ride. SUPER FAST had his consistency rewarded last outing after a string of runners-up berths. He is up in class but has a light weight.
Selections: #6 WILD JUSTICE, #1 HIERKOMMIEBOKKIE, #2 ICY BLAST, #3 SUPER FAST
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 19.10.2025, Race 10, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R90,000, 17:20GMT+2
Race Summary: FATE OF FORTUNE has improved in blinkers and was only run out of it late by the unbeaten Cognac last Sunday. He is way down in class and should have a bright chance. NAVAJO DANCER has his third run after a break and appears to be coming to hand. DOUBLE OLYMPIC has a tough draw to contend with but was narrowly beaten down the straight last start. RUBY CLAIRE was not far back last run and with a 4kg claimer aboard she can feature.
Selections: #8 FATE OF FORTUNE, #9 NAVAJO DANCER, #12 DOUBLE OLYMPIC, #7 RUBY CLAIRE
