Race Summary: LIZ HURLEY made good improvement second time out and should be primed for this. SEI BELLA has made steady improvement and was beaten by a promising filly last time out. LADY JEROME has the widest draw but was a close-up second at long odds at just her second start. FLORAL KINGDOM is also showing signs of improving but does look held on current form.

Race Summary: MENAGERIE has been touched off in her only two starts, last time in the Strelitzia Stakes. She looks the part here. LEGAL TANGO made good improvement second time out at long odds. A repeat should see her close again. BOOGY made good improvement second time out and from the best of the draw should put in a telling blow. DANCING PARTY found some market support on debut and likely to improve with the experience.
Selections: #2 MENAGERIE, #3 LEGAL TANGO, #1 BOOGY, #7 DANCING PARTY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.05.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R140,000, 14:20GMT+2
Race Summary: BARRY’S BOY comes with some steady Cape form and lines up against some modest opposition. KA CHOW is a two-year-old that started favourite on debut but disappointed. He gets a 2.5kg claimer aboard and can make amends. DONMAGOO has been knocking at the door in Open Maidens. Keagan de Melo stays with the ride and the gelding should be competitive in this line-up. HIGHVELD STORM is struggling but has shown patches of good form and can surprise.
Selections: #7 BARRY’S BOY, #4 KA CHOW, #8 DONMAGOO, #2 HIGHVELD STORM
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.05.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R135,000, 14:55GMT+2
Race Summary: GRAND OCCASION is smart and a 2.5kg claimer aboard will help her cause as she has won on the synthetic surface. HODGEPODGE has been climbing up the handicap after her last two wins and got a five-point raise for her last effort. She does appear to be improving and the switch to the poly could see her go in again. SASCHA’S DREAM is seldom far back and has taken to the poly taking on males at her last two. FINE WINE and ZENA ROSE do battle once again with Zena Rose slightly better off at the weights this time around.
Selections: #9 GRAND OCCASION, #2 HODGEPODGE, #7 SASCHA’S DREAM, #5 ZENA ROSE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.05.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R135,000, 15:30GMT+2
Race Summary: FLYING FATE is lightly raced and was not far back when making her handicap debut. She will much prefer this trip and should go close. ACT OF GRACE is still on the up and was a comfortable winner in her local debut over the distance. She has useful Cape form and can go in again. MYSTIQUE ROUGE got a hefty shunt up the handicap for her last win. She does take on stronger here but has a light weight from a good draw and has a chance again. LILAC IN WINTER was narrowly beaten over course and distance last time out and has a handy galloping weight.
Selections: #3 FLYING FATE, #1 MYSTIQUE ROUGE, #7 ACT OF GRACE, #10 LILAC IN WINTER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.05.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R100,000, 16:05GMT+2
Race Summary: SUGARBUSH takes on males but has come down in the handicap and also down in class. She caught the eye last run and can do better here. CAPPELLINO is consistent over the trip and with a handy galloping weight he should be competitive. TRAFALGAR SQUARE is never far back and loves this trip. ROCK MUSIC is down in class and with his 4kg claimer staying with the ride he must have a fair chance.
Selections: #2 SUGARBUSH, #3 CAPPELLINO, #10 TRAFALGAR SQUARE, #4 ROCK MUSIC
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 27.05.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R145,000, 16:40GMT+2
Race Summary: MILITARY COMMAND ran well below par last time out. He has come down in the ratings and should be competitive in this line-up. CATCH A PENNY takes on males but has run two smart races on the poly and can feature again in spite of her big weight. SUMMER WINTER has a tough draw but has done well on the surface and is not out of it. MIGHTY ZAMBEZI has improved with cheek pieces and is over his best course and distance.
Selections: #2 MILITARY COMMAND, #8 CATCH A PENNY, #11 SUMMER WINTER, #5 MIGHTY ZAMBEZI
Best Win: #2 Managerie
Best Value Bet: #3 Flying Fate
Best Longshot: #2 Sugar Bush
