HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 06.05.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R90,000, 12:00GMT+2
Race Summary: SIYABAMBELELA has been knocking at the door for some time now. She carries top weight but was close-up on the poly last start and should put in another big effort. WEDDING VOW made sudden improvement at her penultimate start and not far back last time out. Cape form is generally stronger than local. MISS DANON has been improving slowly but also has a wide draw to contend with. She is back to a sprint and gets first time blinkers. TIPPERARY is a long-time maiden but seldom too far back. The switch to the poly could see her home.
Selections: #10 SIYABAMBELELA, #9 WEDDING VOW, #12 MISS DANON, #4 TIPPERARY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 06.05.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R80,000, 12:35GMT+2
Race Summary: DE GULDEN takes on older horses but won well at just her second start after a promising Cape debut. She has the best of the draw. WHATASTAR has shown up well in two starts since her maiden win. All three have been on the poly and she is down in class. ACACIA’S BLOSSOM is back on her favoured surface and with a 2.5kg claimer aboard she should be competitive. LITTLEBLACK NUMBER was doing her best work late over course and distance last outing and can feature.
Selections: #1 DE GULDEN, #7 WHATASTAR, #9 ACACIA’S BLOSSOM, #2 LITTLEBLACKGEM
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 06.05.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R150,000, 13:10GMT+2
Race Summary: MAGICAL SKY is something of a poly specialist, her last two wins coming over course and distance. She rarely runs a poor race. CATCH PENNY won first up on the poly after showing smart Cape form. She is 3.5kg worse off with Magical Sky but looks capable of further improvement. KYTHERA showed up well first run ack from a lengthy lay-off. She is lightly race and must have a winning chance. CAPTAIN’S CHRISTY has been racing in useful company of late and always dangerous. Her last win was over course and distance and she can go close in this line-up.
Selections: #7 MAGICAL SKY, #4 CATCH A PENNY, #3 KYTHERA, #2 CAPTAIN’S CHRISTY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 06.05.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R140,000, 13:50GMT+2
Race Summary: TAKETHEGREENLIGHT was touched off in his local debut. Lightly raced, he steps up in trip and could be the stable elect ahead of the filly VIXEN’S WAR who is tried and tested over the trip and overdue a win. PEEPING TOM is in good form of late, runner-up in his last two and narrowly beaten on the poly last run. DEVIL’S PEAK has shown some ability and has a chance for minor money.
Selections: #2 VIXENS WAR, #6 TAKETHEGREENLIGHT, #4 PEEPING TOM, #7 DEVIL’S PEAK
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 06.05.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R90,000, 14:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Open handicap. MANY WATERS has run his best races on the poly and took on stronger when a close-up second last time out. CIRCLE OF GRACE is a veteran galloper but has been up against stronger of late. The switch to poly can often bring out the best in older horses. STATE CAPITAL has shown some recent improvement and has another light weight. ARCTIC FURY found some market support last outing. She is seldom far back and with a handy weight could go all the way.
Selections: #9 MANY WATERS, #6 CIRCLE OF GRACE, #11 STATE CAPITOL, #2 ARCTIC FURY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 06.05.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R145,000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: MASTER DU ROUVRAY has been in good form and may only now reaching his peak. He won well last time out on the poly and although shouldering top weight he looks capable. THE WOLF was three lengths behind Master Du Rouvray when last they met and he has been consistent. He meets his rival on 3kg better terms so must have a strong chance of turning the tables. PRINCE OF TROY is lightly raced and steps up in trip for the first time. He has a handy galloping weight and is one to watch in the market. TAKEYOURBESTSHOT has come well on the poly. Not one to leave out of any calculations.
Selections: #6 MASTER DU ROUVRAY, #8 THE WOLF, #9 PRINCE OF TROY, #7 TAKEYOURBESTSHOT
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 06.05.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R145,000, 15:35GMT+2
Race Summary: NEXT OF KIN has found one too good for him at his last two. He was beaten by a good one last time out and from a handy draw can go one better. WORLD OF OUR OWN has jumped up the handicap after winner his last two. He gets a 4kg claimer aboard and can still have the wood on PIED PIPER who was a length behind him last time out. The 4kg claim could see World Of Our Own confirm that result but it should be close. SIERRA SAGRADA is up from the Cape but has not been out since July last year after shedding his maiden. He comes from a strong stable and has De Melo aboard so any market support must be taken seriously.
Selections: #2 NEXT OF KIN, #4 WORLD OF OUR OWN, #6 PIED PIPER, #7 SIERRA SAGRADA
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 06.05.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R80,000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Tricky handicap. SPRING KISS returns from a break and has dropped in the handicap. She will be a big runner here. MYSTIQUE ROUGE is something of a poly specialist and was narrowly beaten last time out. She is comfortable over the trip and rates a strong chance. JAZZ DIVA has the best of the draw and has shown up well in her last two on the poly. She gets 4kg relief from the saddle. GRUE OF ICE is a game campaigner and never far back. The step up in trip may be in her favour.
Selections: #5 SPRING KISS, #3 MYSTIQUE ROUGE, #1 JAZZ DIVA, #8 GRUE OF ICE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 06.05.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R90,000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Wide open. CHARA SANDS goes well over course and distance and had a difficult draw on the turf last run. He has a good draw and a 4kg claimer aboard that should see him competitive. CAPPELLINO is holding form well. His last win came over course and distance and he should feature prominently. LUNCH MONEY has the widest draw but is never far back of late. ZOOMBOMBER goes well on the poly and has the best of the draw.
Selections: #2 CHARA SANDS, #6 CAPPELLINO, #10 LUNCH MONEY, #1 ZOOMBOMBER
Best Value Bet: #5 Spring Kiss
Best Longshot: #6 Circle Of Grace
