RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: GREYVILLE@2026.03.22
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 22.03.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R140,000, 11:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Mostly first timers. Of those that have run, RUSHING CHIMES was not far off Lady Godiva on debut starting at lengthy odds. Craig Zackey takes over from the apprentice. KAZ FROM ALCATRAZ was a distant fourth on debut but should benefit from the experience and make good improvement. AMC ROY’S FANTASY. Has shown some ability but has his fifth visit to the well. The blinkers come off. There are some smartly bred first timers but Wengi Masawi could hold the key with PRIZED OSSESSION.
Selections: #6 RUSHING CHIMES, #2 KAZ FROM ALCATRAZ, #4 AMC ROY’S FANTASY, #7 PRIZED POSSESSION
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 22.03.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R120,000, 12:05GMT+2
Race Summary: BEYOND ALL DOUBT made smart improvement at just his second outing behind the promising Son Of Rafeef. A similar showing should see him close again. Nothing went right for PLACE OF PRACTICE last time out and the run is best ignored. At his penultimate start he finished ahead of Beyond All Doubt so there should not be much between them again. PRESSURE POINT has run two promising races since being stretched to a mile. He was narrowly beaten last time out and gets the benefit of Rachel Venniker’s 1.5kg allowance. OWNER OF CREATION is a long-time battler but has not been far back of late. GREEN COMMANDER makes his local debut for Alyson Wright and may be worth following in spite of his modest Cape form.
Selections: #3 BEYOND ALL DOUBT, #6 PLACE OF PRACTICE, #4 PRESSURE POINT, #1 GREEN COMMANDER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 22.03.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R100,000, 12:40GMT+2
Race Summary: RED TAFFETY makes her local debut for Adam Azzie and comes off some useful Cape form. She strikes as a likely winner. LILTING SONG started favourite in her local debut but found one too good for her on the poly. Back on turf she can make amends. PRINCESS TRIPPI has improved with each recent outing and is in with a fighting chance. OLIVE GROVE showed some improvement back on turf and can surprise.
Selections: #5 RED TAFFETY, #6 LILTING SONG, #9 PRINCESS TRIPPI, #7 OLIVE GROVE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 22.03.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R80,000, 13:15GMT+2
Race Summary: Competitive handicap. BLIND SPEED has been dropping in the ratings but has been consistent. The step up in trip should suit and she has a chance at decent odds. DEEPEST WATER surprised at long odds when shedding her maiden at just her third start. That form has held up quite well and she can follow up in this company. MISSISSIPPI SPICE was much improved carrying bottom weight at her last two. She got a three-point raise in the handicap but gets 1.5kg relief from the saddle in the form of top class rider Mickaella Michel. SAINT BRIGID carries top weight but her last win was over course and distance and she can edge out OH MY GUCCI GIRL where a neck separated the pair at the line on the poly.
Selections: #7 BLIND SPEED, #11 DEEPEST WATER, #5 MISSISSIPPI SPICE, #4 SAINT BRIGID
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 22.03.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1900m, Turf, R110,000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: PSYCHE finally got her act together when shedding her maiden in comfortable fashion. The step up in trip and a handy galloping weight could see her follow up. SASCHA’S DREAM is never far back and was close-up behind ZENA ROSE and FINE WINE when last they met over the trip at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. The trio are on top of each other in the handicap and luck in running could be the difference between the three.
Selections: #7 PSYCHE, #9 SASCHA’S DREAM, #6 FINE WINE, #12 ZENA ROSE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 22.03.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R125,000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: CONTINENTAL EXPRESS stays well and has consistent form. He has a fair weight to shoulder but also the best of the draw. TOBACCONIST would appear to be the pick of the Hollywood Racing’s runners with Sean Veale aboard. MJ Odendaal’s gelding was a close-up fourth behind JP’s Palace last time out and the latter was a game third in the Kings Cup last Sunday. TEE DOG has come good of late and stays the trip while there should not be much between him and HIGH QUEUE with a length separating them when last they met at the same weights.
Selections: #1 CONTINENTALEXPRESS, #9 TOBACCONIST, #6 TEE DOG, #2 HIGH QUEUE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 22.03.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R140,000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: ROLLO THE VIKING is down in class and comes off some excellent form over the trip against much stronger fields. He should go close. UZWANO has teamed up with Gavin Lerena who has won on Dean Kannemeyer’s gelding twice so knows the horse well. THE SHEPHERD has his first run for a new stable. He is talented but unpredictable. The much quieter surroundings of Ashburton could well see a change of attitude and bring out the best. WILD AT WAR has a tough draw to overcome. He was a beaten favourite last start but is back on turf. DOWN BY THE RIVER ran a smart race behind the top class King Pelles last time out. He reverts to a much shorter trip but is in good form.
Selections: #9 ROLLO THE VIKING, #11 UZWANO, #12 THE SHEPHERD, #14 WILD AT WAR
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 22.03.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R125,000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Highly competitive handicap. PRINCE OF TROY is lightly raced but has shown promise. He has a money chance in a wide open handicap. MY LUCKY CHARM would appear to be the pick of the Mike and Mathew de Kock pairing although NEXT OF KIN has some promising post maiden form and Lerena rides from pole position. My Lucky Charm has shown patches of ability on the Highveld and the change of routine could be the key. DRICUS was a beaten favourite on the poly last time out after winning over course and distance at his previous outing. TOWN CRIER has a deep draw to contend with but has improved in blinkers and showed up well in a set weights race last time out.
Selections: #4 PRINCE OF TROY, #3 MY LUCKY CHARM, #12 TOWN CRIER, #1 NEXT OF KIN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 22.03.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R100,000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: BLUE STEEL was a recent maiden winner but won with authority He has a big weight and takes on seasoned older runners but does look progressive and may be under the handicappers radar in spite of his high rating. DEFINITELY YES has been a beaten favourite at his last two outings. He gets the benefit of Rachel Venniker’s 1.5kg allowance and can make amends. KIMBAL O’HARA has shown some improvement in blinkers and is dropping in the handicap. He goes well over course and distance. THE GLIDING FISH has come to hand late in life and has crept up in the handicap.
Selections: #1 BLUE STEEL, #6 DEFINITELY YES, #4 KIMBALL O’HARA, #8 THE GLIDING FISH
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 22.03.2026, Race 10, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R125,000, 16:50GMT+2
Race Summary: POSITION OF POWER is down in class and was a close-up third to stronger last run. He has a favourable draw and a strong money chance. MAR DEL PLATA has been in good form of late and gets Gavin Lerena aboard. CHARA SANDS is a five furlong specialist and was narrowly beaten at his last two. He has a handy weight and should make a bold bid. BLACK FROST only has 55kg to shoulder and should be up there from the jump from a good barrier.
Selections: #2 POSITION OF POWER, #5 MAR DEL PLATA, #10 CHARA SANDS, #3 BLACK FROST
Best Win: #1 BLUE STEEL
Best Value Bet: #5 RED TAFFETY
Best Longshot: #12 THE SHEPHERD
