HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 26.07.2026, Race 1, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R225,000, 12:15GMT+2
Race Summary: ZEITZ has a tough draw to negotiate but was strongly fancied to win the Hollywoodbets Durban July. It was his first try at the trip which proved to be too far. He should do better here. ISIVIVANE is back over what may prove to be a more suitable trip after a smart effort in the Hollywoodbets Durban July. FIELD MARSHAL was a touch disappointing at his last run. He drops in trip and has run well against the best. TALK TO THE MASTER has his first run for a new stable. He was a game winner over course and distance last time out and has the best of the draw.
Selections: #13 ZEITZ, #8 ISIVIVANE, #3 FIELD MARSHAL, #1 TALK TO THE MASTER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 26.07.2026, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R500,000, 12:55GMT+2
Race Summary: PALACE OF ARVERNIA has won two of her three starts and was a comfortable willer over a furlong further last time out. She looks smart and should be in the shake-up. OCEAN MISTRESS finished just ahead of Palace Of Arvernia in the Gr1 Alan Robertson Championship but the tables were turned next time out. She also has the widest draw to contend with. THYM TO TALK showed up well when taking on males at just her second start. That was on the poly but she shed her maiden on the turf. MENAGERIE made steady improvement leading to her maiden win. She shows plenty of promise and should feature. PERFECT SKY was a narrow winner last run and does look held by Palace Of Arverinia on collateral form hover, horses from this stable can never be ignored on big days.
Selections: #6 PALACE OF ARVERNIA, #11 OCEAN MISTRESS, #7 MENAGERIE, #4 PERFECT SKY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 26.07.2026, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R500,000, 13:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Peter Muscutt could hold all the cards. BENNY AND PAUL extended to shed his maiden in fine style. Prior to that he played second fiddle to the very highly rated Coast Of The Sun and that form could be good enough to see him home. Stable companion ST HARRY is well thought of by the stable and will have needed his first run back from a break. He won his maiden in very good fashion. GIMME SOME LUCK is unbeaten in three but will need some luck from a wide gate. Judged on jockey bookings, WORLD SERIES would appear to be the best of Sean Tarry’s runners but will need some luck from his wide gate.
Selections: #6 BENNY AND PAUL, #5 ST HARRY, #11 GIMME SOME LUCK, #13 WORLD SERIES
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 26.07.2026, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R750,000, 14:35GMT+2
Race Summary: ALICE B TOKLAS found one better in Palace Of Arvernia when well supported in the market at her last start. The latter has gone back to a sprint while Sean Tarry’s filly steps up to a mile. From a good draw she will be hard to beat. ROYAL TIARA has finished behind Alice B Toklas in both of her last outings but came in for a mountain of support at her last start and can do better here. MARCHLAND has been untested in her three Eastern Cape runs, winning comfortably. She takes on stronger here but could well prove up to the challenge. WITHIN REACH will enjoy the step up in trip. From a handy draw she will be competitive.
Selections: #3 ALICE B TOKLAS, #4 ROYAL TIARA, #6 MARCHLAND, #7 WITHIN REACH
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 26.07.2026, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R1,750,000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: GREEN ENERGY does not have the best of draws but was closing fast on hot favourite VIBE CHECK when last they met. The extra furlong could fine Vibe Check out but he comes from a smart stable and could well sew up the Equus Two-Year-Old Championship. The filly MOANA has won her last two over the trip in facile fashion. On a line through SECRETARY BIRD who finished a length behind Vibe Check and Green Energy last time out, she must have a strong winning chance. KAZENOYONI has been specifically aimed at this race. He had a tough draw last time out and although the form does not stack up on paper, he can surprise.
Selections: #9 GREEN ENERGY, #14 VIBE CHECK, #5 MOANA, #8 KAZENOYONI
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 26.07.2026, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R1,000,000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: QUESTIONING has a wide draw to contended with but has been in exceptional form of late from a sprint to a mile. He should put in another winning performance. BUFFALO STORM CODY is the country’s highest rated runner but went down narrowly to JET FORCE is the Post Merchants over course and distance. He is now 2kg better off with the winner but he does appear to be at his best over a furlong shorter. The mare ASIYE PHAMBILI is exceptional having won her last two including the GR1 SA Fillies Sprint beating Double Grand Slam. TENANGO has come back to his best at recent starts. He is better of in the weights with both Jet Force and Taxi To The Moon and has the better draw.
Selections: #11 QUESTIONING, #4 BUFFALO STORM CODY, #7 ASIYE PHAMBILI, #2 TENANGO
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 26.07.2026, Race 7, Gallops, 3200m, Turf, R1,000,000, 16:35GMT+2
Race Summary: A top field of stayers. CONTINENTALEXPRESS is at the bottom of the handicap and under sufferance. However, he stays well and comes from a shrewd stable. He can upset carrying bottom weight. Last year’s winner KING PELLES has hardly put a foot wrong in his build-up to this race. He was out-paced late when staying on for this in the Hollywoodbets Durban July and over this trip he can follow up on last year. MASTER REDOUTE, who won this race two years back, has come to hand at just the right time and was a game second in the Gold Vase behind AHEAD OF THE FACTS who has also come well at the right time. He is 1.5kg worse off at the weights which could be telling. SHOOT THE RAPIDS, ENFLAME and HOLDING THUMBS are seasoned stayers and cannot be left out of anything.
Selections: #6 KING PELLES, #2 CONTINENTALEXPRESS, #11 MASTER REDOUTE, #12 SHOOT THE RAPIDS
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 26.07.2026, Race 8, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R1,500,000, 17:15GMT+2
Race Summary: THE REAL PRINCE has had a solid preparation into this race and will strip at his peak. SEE IT AGAIN was a touch disappointing in his last start and one wonders if back on a course where he has not been comfortable, could be an issue as his form prior to that was out of the top draw. Last year’s winner GLADATORIAN has had a searching winter campaign but has never been disgraced. He could follow up. EIGHT ON EIGHTEEN has been relatively off the boil this season but this will have been his ultimate target for the season and could prove to be the best of Justin Snaith’s quartet with LEGAL COUNCIL the likely pacemaker given his Hollywoodbets Durban July role.
Selections: #1 THE REAL PRINCE, #4 EIGHT ON EIGHTEEN, #3 SEE IT AGAIN, #2 GLADATORIAN
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 26.07.2026, Race 9, Gallops, 2000m, Turf, R500,000, 17:55GMT+2
Race Summary: MINOGUE did not get the best of passages in the Hollywoodbets Durban July from her wide draw. Prior to that she ran second-placed July runner Wish List to a head over course and distance. She has the best of the draw and will be a strong contender. MOCHA BLEND also had a tough draw in the July and was not too far back. She carries top weight from another wide gate but should be competitive in this line-up. ANOTHERDANCEFORME has started at cramped odds in all 12 of her starts and has only been beaten once and that was in her first foray out of the Eastern Cape. She is obviously exceptional and will likely start favourite again but the opposition is a little stronger this time around. RAINBOW LORIKEET is always competitive and is drawn one outside of Mocha Blend. Both will be contenders. EDUCATOR has been improving with every outing. This will be her toughest test to date which she could well pass.
Selections: #1 MINOGUE, #12 MOCHA BLEND, #5 ANOTHERDANCEFORME, #8 EDUCATOR
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 26.07.2026, Race 10, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R225,000, 18:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Wide open. HEIRARCHY has a tough draw as she takes on males but ran a cracker behind stable companion Asiye Phambili in the Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint at WFA. She has a big weight but with some luck in running she may be the one to beat. CHAPBOOK has come well since the blinkers have been restored and was narrowly beaten by the smart Taxi To The Moon last run although getting lumps of weight. He meets weaker in what is an open affair. AFRICAN PRIDE has won over course and distance and has the best of the draw but there should not be much between him and Chapbook given their last meeting. CIRCUMBENDIBUS has hardly been out of the money since arriving in KZN and will be a factor again.
Selections: #10 HIERARCHY, #3 CHAPBOOK, #1 AFRICAN PRIDE, #11 CIRCUMBENDIBUS
Best Win: #11 Questioning
Best Value Bet: #1 The Real Prince
Best Longshot: #2 Continentalexpress
