The Hollywoodbets Greyville poly meeting on Wednesday 20 May is competitive throughout, but there should be some fair opportunities for punters.
In the fifth race over 1600m Chasing Gold will be improving all the time being by Ideal World out of a Silvano mare. His dam Silver Class was a sprint-miler so Chasing Gold has interestingly dropped in trip after a good win over 1900m last time. She had to handle a four point raise for that win, but she is a galloping type who is drawn three and she should make a bold bid from a likely handy to front-running position. Mississippi Spice is also in fine form and going the right way, so should be right there too.
In the first leg of the Pick 6 Gimme The Power did well in some open maiden plates in Cape Town carrying low weights, but she also did well in a Class 5 event. She made a good debut in KZN in a maiden and should be in the shake up here in this maiden jumping from draw three under Andrew Fortune. Chooks Kiss and Peace Rose also have to be considered.
In the next leg of the Pick 6 Gold Gold Baby impressed in her KZN debut in a maiden over 1900m and can follow up off a reasonable 75 rating. She has a nice draw on her poly debut. Princess Palace will go close if repeating her last start and if she has a chance then La Maddalena must also be considered as she beat Princess Palace narrowly last time, although she does now have a wide draw to overcome.
In the sixth race over 1600m, a Middle Stakes event, Tomyris on a 93 is one off the top of her merit rated band and this merit rating has seen her go close in both of her previous two starts, including in a Middle Stakes race last time. She is clearly well weighted under these conditions and should go close from a good draw. Spirit Of Shimla and Ice Rain make most appeal of the rest.
In the seventh over 1200m Poetic Princess won well last time and has a chance off a four point higher mark from pole position. Littleblackgem and Clickbait look well treated at present and can earn.
In the last race over 1400m Mask On ran a cracker last time and can go close with a repeat and Heaven’s Will will be right there too if repeating her last start, which was over this course and distance.
The meeting could start with a win for the well drawn Queraristinyferari in the 1000m contest, although on form there is not much between her and the widely drawn Royal Crest.
In the second over 1600m the Highveld raider Royal Jacket makes appeal as a consistent sort who does not face an inspiring field
