RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: GREYVILLE POLYTRACK@2025.12.09
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 09.12.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R90,000, 12:45GMT+2
Race Summary: XIPHOS has numerous chances but tends to run out of gas the last bit. Rachel Venniker gives him some relief from the saddle that will help but he clearly cannot be relied upon. GORGEOUS BOMB has shown some recent improvement and with only 50.5kg to shoulder she could finally run them out of it. SUSURRANDO was most disappointing when starting favourite last time out as Fine Dining made all, cruising home to victory. He could prove better this shorter trip. QUINCY TOWN looks held on current form but has a more experienced rider aboard.
Selections: #6 XIPHOS, #4 GORGEOUS BOMB, #5 SUSURRANDO, #1 QUINCY TOWN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 09.12.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R100,000, 13:20GMT+2
Race Summary: MALSHANA MOU is lightly raced but was narrowly beaten over course and distance last time out. Craig Zackey stays with the ride and she can go one better. BERRINGTON BLEW is also lightly raced and raced green at her latest outing. The blinkers go on so watch for any market support. SUN IN MY POCKET came in for a ton of support at her last start but didn’t finish off her race. She is seldom too far back and the betting support must be respected. SOL E SOMBRA was very green on debut in quite a competitive maiden. She can surprise.
Selections: #7 MALSHANA MOU, #3 BERRINGTON BLEW, #4 SUN IN MY POCKET, #2 SOL E SOMBRA
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 09.12.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R90,000, 13:55GMT+2
Race Summary: BLACK PLATINA is struggling for his maiden win but has been knocking at the door. He has been close-up at his last two and with a 4kg claimer up from the best of the draw he can get it right in this company. KALI BWANA takes on males but goes well on the poly and was touched off last run. She steps up in trip with an experienced rider aboard. CAPTAIN’S DYNASTY was a well-beaten second last run but has shown some recent improvement and could finally be coming to hand. AUGRABIES was much improved last run when starting at long odds. He could be better suited to this shorter trip.
Selections: #1 BLACK PLATINA, #7 KALI BWANA, #6 AUGRABIES, #4 CAPTAIN’S DYNASTY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 09.12.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R120,000, 14:30GMT+2
Race Summary: GREEN GLOW followed up his maiden win with a close-fought victory over Master Du Rouvray with the balance of the field in another race. He has a big weight but shed his maiden over the distance in impressive fashion. SPAARNE RIVIER was disappointing last run but also friendless in the market. He gets weight from Green Glow and may be more effective over this trip. RAGNAR THE KING has been knocking at the door and close-up over course and distance last start while WORLD OF OUR OWN is due a big effort.
Selections: #1 GREEN GLOW, #2 SPAARNE RIVIER, #5 RAGNAR THE KING, #6 WORLD OF OUR OWN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 09.12.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R100,000, 15:05GMT+2
Race Summary: MAC HARDY has the best of the draw and his third run after a break. He had the worst of the draw over course and distance last time out and can do better here. GORGEOUS DUDE has been knocking on the door for some time and was a close-up over course and distance last time out. He only has 49.5kg to should from a good draw. NOW I GOT YOU is another not far off another win. He did well from a wide draw last start and can do better in this field. Veteran CIRCLE OF GRACE makes the trip from the Highveld for a trip on the poly. He only has 49 kg to shoulder and ridden by a more than capable apprentice. It could pay to load up in this leg of the exotics.
Selections: #1 MAC HARDY, #3 GORGEOUS DUDE, #7 CIRCLE OF GRACE, #4 NOW I GOT YOU
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 09.12.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R110,000, 15:45GMT+2
Race Summary: SPINMYANGELSPIN got a hefty shunt up the handicap for her last win over course and distance but may still be under the handicappers radar. Lightly raced, she has improved in blinkers and should be competitive from the best of the draw. ONE PATH was run out of it late over course and distance last time out. She has only missed a cheque once in eight starts and that was in a feature on the turf. SHE’S A MACHINE was narrowly ahead of One Path when last they met but is now 5kg worse off in the handicap given the 4kg apprentice claim. IZIBULO has a light weight and in good form.
Selections: #1 SPINMYANGELSSPIN, #2 ONE PATH, #4 IZIBULO, #7 SHE’S A MACHINE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 09.12.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R80,000, 16:20GMT+2
Race Summary: BEAUTIFUL RANIA has been up against stronger at recent starts and goes well this course and distance. PURPLE FLOWER is also down in class with a big weight but does have a 4kg claimer aboard who has won on the mare before. THERE SHE GOES has a tricky draw to contend with but is a seasoned veteran and has the most experience apprentice aboard. DI ROSA finally shed her maiden last run when well handicapped but the runner-up has since won convincingly and had race favourite Xiphos well beaten. She faces much stronger but has a chance of following up.
Selections: #7 BEAUTIFUL RANIA, #5 PURPLE FLOWER, #9 THERE SHE GOES, #4 DI ROSA
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 09.12.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R120,000, 16:55GMT+2
Race Summary: UNITED NATION is unbeaten in three starts since joining the Darryl Moore yard. He jumped five points in the handicap for his last win but Moore has a 2.5kg claimer aboard. Will be harder but he can make it four. MFETHU was a recent maiden winner and got a hefty mark in the handicap probably because of his effort behind the promising Exocet two runs back. He looks promising. Seven-year-old FATE OF FORTUNE has come well of late winning three of his last four. The handicappers have had no mercy and he jumped six points in the handicap for his last win. He has a tricky draw but a top rider aboard. TRIPPI T is back over what looks to be his optimum trip and from pole position draw and should be right up there.
Selections: #5 UNITED NATION, #8 MFETHU, #7 FATE OF FORTUNE, #1 TRIPPI T
Best Win: #1 BLACK PLATINA
Best Value Bet: #7 BEAUTIFUL RANIA
Best Longshot: #7 CIRCLE OF GRACE
