Punters face a competitive programme on the Hollywoodbets Greyville polytrack on Friday evening, where an early highlight could come in race 1 with Dean Kannemeyer’s Flying Fate. The daughter of Master Of My Fate showed greenness on debut but finished strongly and is expected to improve. Peace Rose, who has progressed with each run and was narrowly beaten last time, looks the main danger, while Siyabamelela and Vaan’s Spirit also hold claims from favourable circumstances.
Dream Decision can start the Place Accumulator after consistent runner-up finishes in open handicaps and now meets modest opposition. Can We Start may improve switching to the poly, while Cali Bullet has place prospects.
Master Du Rouvray is a strong contender in the first Pick 6 leg. Despite top weight, he is consistent and suited to course and distance. High Queue is ultra-reliable, while Sesame steps up after a solid win but must overcome a ratings rise.
Competitive handicaps follow. Magic Maverick looks well weighted with an apprentice allowance and top rider aboard, though Takeyourbestshot and Chasing Gold remain threats. National Dream, now fitted with blinkers, could surprise.
Race 5 is wide open. My Lucky Charm impressed on local debut and drops in class, while Ragnar The King could feature at odds and Deandre’s Dream returns to more suitable company.
In race 6, Thought Control makes her poly debut after a promising post-maiden effort and meets Spirit Of Shimla on better terms. Oklahoma Girl is improving, while lightweight Oh My Gucci Girl could attempt to dictate from a good draw.
Queen is well suited in race 7 over her preferred course and distance, with consistent Grue Of Ice, improving Time In Paris, and Rafeef’s Choice all in contention.
The meeting may conclude successfully for Catch A Penny, who brings solid Cape form and was narrowly beaten last start. Magical Sky, a dual course-and-distance winner, along with Summer Winter and Ruby Rising, complete the main chances.
