HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.07.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R145,000, 11:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Tough handicap. SOMMERSTERN made a winning KZN debut in good fashion. He has a tricky draw and makes his poly debut which is a concern. PLACE OF PRACTICE was a recent maiden winner but enjoyed the step up in trip and the poly track. SONG TO THE MOON has consistent Cape form over further but is never far back and if taking to the poly he will be competitive. MAGMA MAGIC has come well of late winning his last two and is unbeaten under Tristan Godden. If he takes to the poly he will be a factor.
Selections: #10 SOMMERSTERN, #3 PLACE OF PRACTICE, #8 SONG TO THE MOON, #11 MAGMA MAGIC
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.07.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R170,000, 12:25GMT+2
Race Summary: IMPERIAL POWER is back on his favourite surface. He has consistent form and should feature in a wide open race. PLEASE BE TRUE has some useful Cape form in good company. His last two starts were in the soft so the poly should suit. ROYAL SWORD is a poly specialist and started favourite at his last three. SUN DANCE KID has the widest draw but has excellent poly form and a 1.5kg allowance from the saddle.
Selections: #11 IMPERIAL POWER, #3 PLEASE BE TRUE, #8 ROYAL SWORD, #12 SUNDANCE KID

Selections: #10 LA PULGA, #12 OTTO LUYKEN, #3 MAGIC VERSE, #5 IMILENZEYOKUDUDUMA

Race Summary: CURIOUS GIRL goes this trip for the first time but stays well has the best of the draw and a light weight. AHEAD OF THE FACTS has shown up well in two warm-ups on this course. He should be right there. SHOOT THE RAPIDS stays well and is in mustard form. He should be involved in the finish. VIHAAN’S BOMB won well to much weaker last time out but he stays well and also has a light weight.
Selections: #8 SHOOT THE RAPIDS, #1 CURIOUS GIRL, #10 AHEAD OF THE FACTS, #13 VIHAAN’S BOMB
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.07.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R500,000, 14:20GMT+2
Race Summary: ALICE B TOKLAS won well first up over course and distance. She has a decent draw and can follow up. ROYAL TIARA was second best behind Alice B Toklas when last they met but is likely to have come on from that run. TUDOR ROSE took on males when shedding her maiden on debut. The blinkers go one from a handy draw. OCEAN MISTRESS shows promise and will enjoy the step up in trip.
Selections: #7 ALICE B TOKLAS, #3 ROYAL TIARA, #2 TUDOR ROSE, #10 OCEAN MISTRESS
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.07.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R750,000, 15:00GMT+2
Race Summary: VIBE CHECK has the best of the draw and is a strong front runner. He rates the one to eat. KAZENOYONI was second best behind Vibe Check when last they met but expect a change of tactics coming from off the pace. PRAYERSANDPROMISES was an easy winner when stepped up in trip. RED SPICEmay just have needed his last run. Up in trip but has smart Cape form. ST HARRY returns from a break but shows promise and should put in a big effort.
Selections: #1 VIBE CHECK, #10 KAZENOYONI, #11 ST HARRY, #7 RED SPICE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.07.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 2200m, Turf, R10,000,000, 16:00GMT+2
Race Summary: MOCHA BLEND showed her class when winning the Gr1 Betway Summer Cup. She was getting weight from most but won with authority. She has had a faultless preparation and should put in a big run. KING PELLES has a tricky draw to overcome but stays well and was at his peak this time last year. STAR MAJOR is the best three-year-old in the country and comes off two cracking wins in the Guineas and the Daily News. He tends to come from a long way off the pace and will need some luck in running in an 18-horse field. WISH LIST is at the top of the three-year-old fillies and is a class act. She won her last start from a seemingly hopeless position.
Selections: #13 MOCHA BLEND, #17 KING PELLES, #4 STAR MAJOR, #7 WISH LIST
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.07.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R1,500,000, 17:00GMT+2
Race Summary: DOUBLE GRAND SLAM has a tricky draw to contend with as she tries for back-to-back Garden Province wins. She ran a cracked over a distance too short last outing and should go close again. MON PETIT CHERIE just failed to catch QUICKSTEPGAL when jumping from a wide gate. She has a better draw here and can turn the tables although it should be tight. KEUKENHOF has been close-up to star filly Wish List at her last two and a win would not be out of order.
Selections: #10 DOUBLE GRAND SLAM, #6 MON PETIT CHERIE, #7 QUICKSTEPGAL, #8 KEUKENHOF
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.07.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R500,000, 17:40GMT+2
Race Summary: BUFFALO STORM CODY has a big weight and was narrowly beaten by JERUSALEMA RAIN last time out. He meets his rival on 4kg better terms and should turn the tables. The blinkers are back on. SPEEDMAN has won four of his six starts and has a handy galloping weight. He has a fair draw and looks more than capable. KAALVOET was a touch unlucky last run in the Gr2 Golden Horse, however, he got a hefty five-point jump in the handicap.
Selections: #9 BUFFALO STORM CODY, #8 SPEEDMAN, #1 KAALVOET, #6 JERUSALEMA RAIN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.07.2026, Race 10, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R200,000, 18:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Wide open. GREEN GATEWAY steps up to a mile but did finish strongly to win last time out with first time blinkers. MOHAVE PRINCE has come good recently and his last win was over course and distance. He has a favourable draw. IMPOSING was touched off by July runner Zeitz last time out. He has won over course and distance and has a fair draw. JP’S PALACE has the worst of the draw but is never far back. With some luck in runner he will be competitive.
Selections: #5 GREEN GATEWAY, #2 MOHAVE PRINCE, #7 IMPOSING, #14 JP’S PALACE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.07.2026, Race 11, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R200,000, 19:00GMT+2
Race Summary: ANCHORAGE has improved in blinkers. If she takes to the poly from the best of the draw she will be a strong contender. BUTTERCUP BABY took on much stronger from a tough draw last time out. Her last two wins were on the poly. ONE SMART COOKIE is seldom far behind and should put in another honest run. MISS WORLD has drawn wide but is seldom out of the money and is in good form.
Selections: #1 ANCHORAGE, #3 BUTTERCUP BABY, #6 ONE SMART COOKIE, #11 MISS WORLD
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 04.07.2026, Race 12, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R135,000, 19:40GMT+2
Race Summary: CAPTAIN’S PRIDE has a wide draw to contend with but has useful recent form and has done well on the poly. SCARLET STARLET may just have needed her last run after making a winning debut. From a good draw she can feature. WHAT A STAR is a poly specialist over course and distance and has a favorable draw. THOUGHT CONTROL has been knocking at the door and has shown up well in her last two over course and distance.
Selections: #12 CAPTAIN’S PRIDE, #2 SCARLET STARLET, #4 WHATASTAR, #9 THOUGHT CONTROL
Best Win: #9 Buffalo Storm Cody
Best Value Bet: #13 Mocha Blend
Best Longshot: #17 King Pelles
