RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: GREYVILLE@2024.06.15
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 15.06.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R115,000, 11:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: AVERNIAN PRINCESS (3) has put in two smart efforts to date and Dean Kannemeyer’s charge looks the part here barring a first time ‘springer’ that could come in the form of Glen Kotzen’s SWEET DREAMER (4) who he says should run a good race if not too green. Richard Fourie rides. Michell Crawford saddles two runs. OH YOKO (2) found some market support last run but failed to feature. ROSA OSIRIA (12) was not far off on debut and should come on with the experience.
Selections:
#3 AVERNIAN GODDESS, #4 SWEET DREAMER, #12 ROSA OSIRIA, #2 OH YOKO
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 15.06.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R115,000, 12:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: VHAGAR (1) ran a cracking race on debut for MJ Odendaal. He steps up in trip but was finishing his race off well and should feature in a useful field. JAMES FITZJAMES (6) was a close-up second over a mile last time out. He was run out of it late and this shorter trip may suit better. FRENCH FLAME (4) has run two good races over the trip and was a narrowly beaten favourite last time out. FUTURE FLO (8) has been up and down in trip and is long overdue. He should be better suited to this distance. I SALUTE YOU (11) raced green in a promising debut. He comes from the strong Peter Muscutt yard and any market support must be taken seriously.
Selections:
#1 VHAGAR, #6 JAMES FITZJAMES, #4 FRENCH FLAME, #11 I SALUTE YOU
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 15.06.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 2200m, Turf, R115,000, 12:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Modest maiden field but TAXHAVEN (9) stays the trip well although he was a well-beaten second at Turffontein last time out. GIJIMA MFANA (8) has had many chances but has shown recent improvement. He just failed in first time blinkers and can gone better in this company. NOBLE WARRIOR (3) is way better than his last run. He could well prefer the extra. IRON MONGER (11) has shown some ability over the trip and must have a good chance in a weak field.
Selections:
#9 TAXHAVEN, #8 GIJIMA MFANA, #3 NOBLE WARRIOR, #11 IRON MONGER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 15.06.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R146,250, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: DOUBLE SUPERLATIVE (5) was retired to stud after his Cape Met win but has come back for a crack at the Hollywoodbets Durban July. He is well in at these weights and if any where near his best he should be good enough. One word of caution is that he may be ‘ring-rusty and a strong showing is probably what Justin Snaith will be happy with. Snaith has three runners in the line-up to ensure a good pace. TRIPLE TIME (3) has been runner-up in his last two and could be the pacemaker as he does prefer further. LADY HEIST (1) has been in good form over the distance and comes in off a light weight which should make her competitive. SOVEREIGN STATE (4) has been most disappointing of late but the blinkers are back on and he could surprise with a big effort.
Selections:
#5 DOUBLE SUPERLATIVE, #3 TRIPLE TIME, #1 LADY HEIST, #4 SOVEREIGN STATE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 15.06.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R120,000, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Tricky sprint. KINDRED HEART (6) ran an excellent race in the Gr1 Allan Robertson and with only 52kg on her back she should be competitive in a useful field. PRITTI VICTORY (4) is on mustard form over a furlong further. Fourie rides the winner of three of her five races. ICE STAR (1) carries top weight. She is distance suited from the best of the draw and comes with some fair Highveld form. ON CUE (2) has a light weight and has finished close-up in her last two starts.
Selections:
#6 KINDRED HEART, #4 PRITTI VICTORY, #1 ICE STAR, #2 ON CUE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 15.06.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 2400m, Turf, R350,000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: WITHOUT QUESTION (10) just needed his last run in the WSB 1900 after a good third in the Cape Met. He should strip fitter now. ARAGOSTA (5) is well in at these weights. He is way better than his last run. ONE WAY TRAFFIC (2) was a little disappointing over course and distance last time out but was narrowly beaten over the distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville prior to that. CAPE EAGLE (1) is holding form well and got the better of One Way Traffic in a close Scottsville finish. ZEUS (6) is the highest rated runner in the field. He is a top stayer on his day but appears to have lost his way a little of late.
Selections:
#10 WITHOUT QUESTION, #5 ARAGOSTA, #2 ONE WAY TRAFFIC, #1 CAPE EAGLE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 15.06.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 2400m, Turf, R500,000, 15:15GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: MY SOUL MATE (1) has been close up in feature company and stays the trip. She has the best of the draw and should finish in the mix. SAARTJIE (8) took on a useful Gr1 Woolavington 2000 field last time out and was not far back. Prior to that she finished off her race like a train. If she can reproduce that effort she will be a big runner. FUTURE GIRL (4) has gone close in both recent starts on this course. The stable is in mustard form and the extra should suit. RED MAPLE (9) stay well and is way better than her last two. She could struggle at these weights but has a money chance.
Selections:
#1 MY SOUL MATE, #8 SAARTJIE, #4 FUTURE GIRL, #9 RED MAPLE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 15.06.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R115,000, 15:50GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: STRATHCLYDE (13) enjoyed the drop in class when beating RALPH THE RASCAL (11). Alyson Wright’s charge is now 2kg better off and in theory should be able to turn the tables. JOSHUA HOTSNAKE (3) has run up a string of second placings and is due a change of fortune. He is over his favourite trip. MAX THE OTTER (6) has been knocking on the door of late. He has a handy galloping weight over what looks to be his optimum trip.
Selections:
#13 STRATHCLYDE, #11 RALPH THE RASCAL, #6 MAX THE OTTER, #3 JOSHUA HOTSNAKE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 15.06.2024, Race 9, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R110,000, 16:25GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: PILOT FLAME (4) was a recent maiden winner but has made steady improvement and takes on some well-exposed older horses. KAILENE (1) has a big weight but showed up well against stronger last time out. She has the best of the draw and is back over her optimum trip. POURSOMESUGARONME (7) is holding form well. He best recent form has been on the poly but she goes equally well on turf. Stable companion PERILLA (2) has her first outing for Dennis Bosch. Calvin Habib stays with the ride as he knows her well.
Selections:
#4 PILOT FLAME, #1 KAILENE, #7 POURSOMESUGARONME, #2 PERILLA
Best Win: #3 AVERNIAN GODDESS
Best Value Bet: #6 KINDRED HEART
Best Longshot: #5 ARAGOSTA
