HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 02.05.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R160,000, 13:15GMT+2

Race Summary: Many first timers. KUDIKARAN finished last in a four-horse SA Nursery field but was not far back. RED HOT GUY was close-up in a promising debut and should benefit from the run. LIGHTINTHEWOODS was a distance second on debut but sure to come on from that outing. Takes on males. SCOTS WAE HAE looks the pick of the Hollywood runners judged on jockey bookings.

Selections: #2 KUDIKARAN, #8 RED HOT GUY, #4 LIGHTINTHEWOODS, #1 SCOTS WAE HAE

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 02.05.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R140,000, 13:50GMT+2

Race Summary: Open. BOURBON’S BEAST goes well this course and distance. Last two were in the soft. GOOD OMEN is overdue. Beaten favourite last run and can make amends. KAZ FROM ALCATRAZ was beaten by a promising colt last run. Takes on older runners but looks promising. Stable companion HARPA takes on males but is well weighted and can surprise.

Selections: #5 BOURBON’S BEAST, #7 GOOD OMEN, #10 KAZ FROM ALCATRAZ, #9 HARPA

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 02.05.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R750,000, 14:25GMT+2

Race Summary: Many warming up for the bigger races. QUESTIONING won well last time out. The extra furlong will not trouble him from the best of the draw. GLADATORIAN is back on his favourite course and won last year beating See It Again. OUTLAW KING has consistent Cape form and has won over the distance. CATS PAJAMAS made the required improvement in blinkers when winning the Hawaii Stakes. He meets stronger here but is still improving.

Selections: #1 QUESTIONING, #2 GLADATORIAN, #6 OUTLAW KING, #7 CATS PAJAMAS

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 02.05.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R500,000, 15:05GMT+2

Race Summary: QUICKSTEPGAL was beaten by the weight last run. She can add to her Cape Fillies Guineas victory. WISH LIST won the Cape Derby beating males. She may prefer it a touch further. PRINCESS OF GAUL arrived from the Cape in good form winning her last start. She should be a contender from a handy gate. BEACH VERSE has excellent form in linkers but does jump in class. 

Selections:  #8 WISH LIST, #5 QUICKSTEPGAL, #2 PRINCESS OF GAUL, #10 BEACH VERSE

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 02.05.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R750,000, 15:45GMT+2

Race Summary: TIN PAN ALLEY got a hefty rating increase for his last win in the Gr1 HF Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes. De Melo is two-from-two and a repeat showing should see him hard to beat. There should be little between STAR MAJOR and HAPPY VERSE given their last two encounters. ONE EYE ON VEGAS is never out of the money and should be a strong contender. 

Selections: #3 TIN PAN ALLEY, #6 ONE EYE ON VEGAS, #10 HAPPY VERSE, #8 STAR MAJOR

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 02.05.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R200,000, 16:25GMT+2

Race Summary: ROSE WOOTT surprised in first time blinkers. Lightly raced she may still be under the handicappers radar and has a handy galloping weight. LADYOFDISTINCTION has yet to finish out of the money. This is her peak run after a short break. GERBERA was a good second when taking on males last run behind former Gr2 Golden Horseshoe winner Chronicle King. RAHHABA is in mustard form and had Ladyofdistinction behind her at her last two wins. Now meet at level weights.

Selections: #9 ROSE WOOTT, #4 LADYOFDISTINCTION, #5 GERBERA, #8 RAHHABBA

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 02.05.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R175,000, 17:00GMT+2

Race Summary: O’TENIKWA looks well in at the weights. He is a smart sprinter and should feature. TAXI TO THE MOON has run two smart races in top company at his last two and should be right there again. I AM GIANT did not put a foot wrong in the Cape against the best sprinter around. These weight could find him out. KING OF THE GAULS is quick and has found his best form of late.

Selections: #10 O’TENIKWA, #6 TAXI TO THE MOON, #11 I AM GIANT, #2 WINDS OF CHANGE

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 02.05.2026, Race 10, Gallops, 400m, Turf, R120,000, 17:35GMT+2

Race Summary: INAFIX has a light weight and first time blinkers. ZOOMBOMER has come to hand and only has 48kg to shoulder. LUHAMBA PHAMBILI has been up against stronger of late but gives plenty of weight. ARVERNI PRINCESS is in good form and another with a light weight.

Selections: #7 INAFIX, #8 ZOOMBOMBER, #6 LUHAMBA PHAMBILI, #4 ARVERNI PRINCESS

Best Win: #1 Questioning

Best Value Bet: #10 O’Tenikwa

Best Longshot: Race 8 #9 Rose Woott
