HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.11.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R90,000, 12:45GMT+2
Race Summary: DRIELANDENPUNT was much improved going the mile for the first time. He meets a modest line-up over the same course and distance and will be a big runner. The year older BLACK PLATINA has shown up well in his last two over the distance. He has a 4kg claimer up and should be the biggest threat. MOUNT KENNEDY ran way below expectations last run judged on his debut effort. He could pay to follow in the market. First timer SECRET AGENT is a son of Soqrat and could be anything.
Selections: #1 DRIELANDENPUNT, #6 BLACK PLATINA, #4 MOUNT KENNEDY, #3 SECRET AGENT
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.11.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R100,000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: QUEEN FENN was touched off by the narrowest of margins last time out. She steps up in trip but does not face a strong field although there are two regally-bred first timers in the line-up. PINK LACE improved second time out and although she looks held by Queen Fenn on that showing she could have more to come. SPIRIT OF SHIMLA is by Vercingetorix out of a Gimmethegreenlight mare while AREYOUREADY is by Gimmethegreenlight out of a Jat Master mare. The betting should be your best guide here.
Selections: #4 QUEEN FENN, #6 PINK LACE, #8 SPIRIT OF SHIMLA, #7 AREYOUREADY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.11.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R90,000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: XIPHOS has finished runner-up in all three starts on the poly. He looked all over a winner last time out before Military Force came sailing by. He must have an outstanding chance of going one better. DI ROSA is struggling and her last run is best ignored. She had consistent form before that and with only 49.5kg to shoulder she could be heartbreak for Xiphos. ROY’S BLOSSOM made a promising debut at lengthy odds. She has the best of the draw and can feature again. FINE DINING made sudden improvement last outing when back over a sprint and needs to repeat given his previous form over ground.
Selections: #6 DI ROSA, #5 XIPHOS, #1 ROY’S BLOSSOM, #7 FINE DINING
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.11.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R120,000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: PINETTI showed up well first run out of the maidens and goes well on the poly. BEAMONESQUE was a comfortable winner over the trip in the Turffontein inside track last time out. He has come on steadily of late and the switch to the poly from a good draw can see him go in again. FORTRESS OF FIRE comes off a break, has the widest draw and some puzzling form. However, he does appear to be much better than that form would suggest given his debut effort. PREEMPTIVE STRIKE is a poly specialist having his 50th start. He is never far back and is coming down in the ratings.
Selections: #8 PINETTI, #2 BEAMONESQUE, #10 FORTRESS OF FIRE, #1 PREEMPTIVE STRIKE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.11.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R130,000, 15:02GMT+2
Race Summary: AFROPOLITAN was finishing strongly behind the promising Kanaal Skater over a mile on the poly last time out. He was doing his best work late and the extra furlong should suit. EL REY VIENE was a winner under Veale last time out and also steps up in trip. However, he only got a two-point raise in the handicap and is in good form. PLUM PUDDING has been in excellent form since April winning three of her last five and second on the other two. She has won on the poly and should be right there again. SUNDANCE KID is smart on his day and although a little off form he needed his last run and can surprise.
Selections: #7 AFROPOLITAN, #1 EL REY VIENE, #3 PLUM PUDDING, #4 SUNDANCE KID
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.11.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R110,000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: ALANNAH just failed over course and distance last time out. Her two best runs have been on the poly and she was not far back in a Gr1 last season. ONE PATH has only missed a cheque once in eight starts. She finished runner-up at her last two on the poly and she steps up to this trip once again. SASCHA’S DREAM was touched off by MISS TWINKLE last time out. Doug Campbell’s filly is now 2kg better off and should turn the tables.
Selections: #3 ALANNAH, #7 ONE PATH, #1 SASCHA’S DREAM, #6 MISS TWINKLE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.11.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R100,000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: SPAARNE RIVIER was a comfortable maiden winner on the poly at second time of asking and enjoyed the step up in trip. This distance should suit and he can follow up. BANZAI PIPELINE is slowly coming down in the ratings and was not far back when taking on stronger last time out. He has a handy galloping weight with a 4kg claimer aboard and the best of the draw. ULTRA QUICK has been in good form over shorter and could now prefer this step up in distance. GARDENER’S PRIDE has improved with hIs new stable and is no stranger to the poly surface. PEMBURY ran way below what he is capable of in his first try out of the maidens but he did have a difficult draw. He can do better here.
Selections: #2 SPAARNE RIVIER, #1 BANZAI PIPELINE, #3 ULTRA QUICK, #6 PEMBURY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 12.11.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R120,000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: IMPERIAL POWER is over due a fourth win and his consistency can be rewarded from a handy draw. KIMBALL O’HARA switches to the poly and as an older horse he should enjoy the surface. He is currently in useful form. ISIKWISHIKWISHI runs of the same mark as when she won at her penultimate start with Rachel Venniker’s allowance effectively cancelling out the handicap rise. KING’S ISLAND was up against stronger from a wide draw last time out. He is wide again but had a handy galloping weight.
Selections: #3 IMPERIAL POWER, #1 KIMBALL O’HARA, #4 ISIKWISHIKWISHI, #9 KING’S ISLAND
Best Win: #3 ALANNAH
Best Value Bet: #6 DI ROSA
Best Longshot: #4 ISIKWISHIKWISHI
