Race Summary: Mostly first timers so keep a keen eye on the betting. Of those that have run, DANCING PARTY improved nicely second time out and coming on the right way. ICEBERG ROSE was a beaten favourite last run when trying further. She has run well on this course. ASGARDIAN QUEEN has found market support at her last two. She is well experienced which will count. LADY JEROME disappointed on the poly last run after an improved previous effort.

HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 28.06.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R160,000, 12:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Many first timers. Of those that have run, BENNY AND PAUL may just have needed is last run after returning from a break. The drop in trip should not be a concern. PRIZED POSSESSION found strong market support on debut. He should come on with the experience down the straight course. OLD HARRY ROCKS raced green in a promising debut and any market support must be respected. YUKINKO should come on from his poly debut and is another one to watch.
Selections: #3 BENNY AND PAUL, #4 PRIZED POSSESSION, #5 OLD HARRY ROCKS, #6 YUKINKO
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 28.06.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R125,000, 12:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Wide open. RED HOT MISS was runner-up at her last two on the poly. She stays the trip and has the best of the draw. INDIGNATION was much improved when tried over a mile last run. She was well beaten but can come on from that effort. ANYTHING BUT LOVE is an older filly that has been close-up in all three starts. She can feature in this line-up. LEGAL TANGO is way better than her poly debut and back to turf can see her home.
Selections: #1 RED HOT MISS, #3 INDIGNATION, #4 ANYTHING BUT LOVE, #5 LEGAL TANGO
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 28.06.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R90,000, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: DAY TWO is lightly raced but stays well and was a good second when taking on stronger last time out. He has the best of the draw and should be in the shake-up. PRINCESS PALACE was up against stronger last run but ran way below best. She can do much better in this line-up. GLOBAL MOVEMENT has run two smart recent efforts although both were on the poly but he should go well here. THAMBI was much improved on the poly last run. His turf form is patchy but he does have a 4kg claimer aboard.
Selections: #2 DAY TWO, #4 PRINCESS PALACE, #5 GLOBAL MOVEMENT, #8 THAMBI
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 28.06.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R140,000, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: Tricky. OVATION STAR is lightly raced but has garnered a hefty merit rating. She was a close-up second last run but takes on two Gr1 Garden Province hopefuls in LADYOFDISTINCTION and EDUCATOR. Dean Kannemeyer’s filly is the highest rated and won well enough on the poly last time out. She is still improving and may be the one to beat. Ladyofdistinction ran well below best last start and should do better here. GRAND OCCASION may be a touch out-classed but is in good form and can upset.
Selections: #2 EDUCATOR, #6 OVATION STAR, #5 LADYOFDISTINCTION, #3 GRAND OCCASION
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 28.06.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R135,000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: Wide open. HUNGA TONGA won well over course and distance at her penultimate start and followed up with another strong effort on the poly. She should put in another strong performance. OPEN SESAME has improved in blinkers and has a favourable draw. BLUE POPPY is never far back and only once out of the money. With a 1.5kg allowance She will be in the firing line. PAST IS PROLOGUE has a tough draw to contend with but her two wins have come on this course and she was narrowly beaten last time out.
Selections: #8 HUNGA TONGA, #3 OPEN SESAME, #2 BLUE POPPY, #15 PAST IS PROLOGUE
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 28.06.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R170,000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: MAJOR TOMMIE is way better than his last two. He Goes well over this course and is seldom far back. HAH LAH LAH was a touch disappointing last run when starting favourite but shed his maiden over course and distance on debut and a repeat can see him close again. BEST OF ALL is lightly raced and was a good second last run over course and distance although under a light weight. MILITARY COMMAND has improved in blinkers and Gavin Lerena stays with the ride.
Selections: #4 MAJOR TOMMIE, #7 HAH LAH LAH, #6 BEST OF ALL, #8 MILITARY COMMAND
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 28.06.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1100m, Turf, R145,000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: CAVALRY COMMANDER has been in good form since a change of stables. He has won over course and distance. STREET OUTLAW does not have the best Cape form to recommend him but Ricky Maingard is a master of his craft and the gelding is not up to sample the air. LITTLE BOY BLUE has a useful 4kg claimer aboard and should be competitive off a light weight. LUNELUCK returns from a lengthy break but had good form before that and he will have a chance if racing fresh.
Selections: #11 CAVALRY COMMANDER, #10 STREET OUTLAW, #4 LITTLE BOY BLUE, #3 LUNELUCK
HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 28.06.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R90,000, 16:25GMT+2

JANE’S VISION is seldom far back and her last win was over course and distance. NIGHT TIGER has patchy form but never far back of late. BLESS ME FRED is always in the game and another with a winning chance.
Selections: #1 ARVERNI PRINCESS, #6 JANE’S VISION, #3 NIGHT TIGER, #10 BLESS ME FRED
