HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 29.06.2024, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R150,000, 12:35GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: DANTONFROMSANDTON (5) has won twice and been close-up in Highveld features. He gives weight and makes his poly debut but comes from the Sean Tarry yard who seldom have a bad afternoon on this day. WILD AT WAR (7) was only five lengths back in the Gr1 Gold Medallion and was a comfortable maiden winner prior to that. KALAHARI ROLLER (2) was off the track after his maiden win with skin disease so should still be ready to race. SUN IN MY POCKET (2) made a smart debut, failing narrowly. She takes on males but has a light weight. (Andrew Harrison: 5-7-2-1).
Selections:
#5 DANTONFROMSANDTON, #7 WILD AT WAR, #2 KALAHARI ROLLER, #1 SUN IN MY POCKET
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 29.06.2024, Race 2, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R135,000, 13:10GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: DARING DASH (1) has improved with each outing. He makes his poly debut for Weiho Marwing but has the best of the draw over a suitable trip. TERIYAKI (5) is seldom fa back and has some fair form in useful maidens. The cheek pieces replace the blinkers but he should feature strongly. BARRY DU GROND (6) was a touch disappointing at his second start. Both runs have been in the soft and the switch to the poly could see major improvement. ALWAYS SHINING (3) is way better than his last run. He goes well on the poly and Dennis Bosch has Richard Fourie aboard. (Andrew Harrison: 1-5-6-3).
Selections:
#1 DARING DASH, #5 TERIYAKI, #6 BARRY DU GROND, #3 ALWAYS SHINING
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 29.06.2024, Race 3, Gallops, 1700m, Turf, R135,000, 13:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Competitive maiden. MAGIC HAT TRICK (10) was much improved over ground when close-up at long odds. That was only his third start for Carl Hewitson and a repeat can see him close again. RAINWATER (7) found market support last run when tried in blinkers. The blinkers come of, cheek pieces on along with Richard Fourie. WHEREVERILAYMYHAT (6) raced green in a promising debut. He should enjoy this trip. ANIMAL IMPACT (8) has put in two recent forward showings on the poly. He stays the trip and rates a winning chance. (Andrew Harrison: 10-7-6-8).
Selections:
#10 MAGIC HAT TRICK, #7 RAINWATER, #6 WHEREVERILAYMYHAT, #8 ANIMAL IMPACT
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 29.06.2024, Race 4, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R150,000, 14:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: MAGIC TATOO (7) has put in two good sprints on the turf. The switch to the poly should suit and he rates a strong winning chance. CONVOCATION (8) was out-classed in the Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint but scored three-in-a-row prior to that. Her last win was over course and distance. RUSSIAN DOLL (1) won this race last year. She has had two runs back since a lengthy lay-off and ran a smart preparation race at her second run back. PROUD MASTER (9) made sudden improvement last run. He is class on his day and a repeat can see him in the money again. (Andrew Harrison: 7-8-1-9).
Selections:
#7 MAGIC TATTOO, #8 CONVOCATION, #1 RUSSIAN DOLL, #9 PROUD MASTER
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 29.06.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1900m, Turf, R150,000, 14:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: MAGICAL FLIGHT (9) has been consistent of late and her rating has stayed steady. She is class on her day and as an older mare she should enjoy the switch to the poly. PIRATE PRINCE (11) has been contesting features over further at recent outings but is effective over this trip. The Alyson Wright stable can do no wrong of late and another winner is on the cards. TOM’S ACT (2) has come well of late and loves the poly. He has bottom weight and Muzi Yeni to help in along. PETIT VERDOT (3) has consistent recent form and although she takes on males she has been taking on stronger opposition of late. She has a handy weight and a drop in the ratings to help. (Andrew Harrison: 9-11-2-3).
Selections:
#9 MAGICAL FLIGHT, #11 PIRATE PRINCE, #2 TOM’S ACT, #3 PETIT VERDOT
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 29.06.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R150,000, 15:30GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: WILLOW EXPRESS (7) had his consistency rewarded last start.. He only got a three-point raise in the handicap and can follow up. Corne Spies raids with WYZEACT (4) who shoulders top weight but has been in good form in smart Highveld company of late. He steps up an extra furlong but his last win was on the poly. LUCKY DOLLAR (2) won well over course and distance at his penultimate start and stays the trip well. Has a plum draw and should go close. JOSHUA HOTSNAKE (1) is in cracking form of late. He has a handy weight and will go close if he stays the extra furlong. (Andrew Harrison: 7-4-2-1).
Selections:
#7 WILLOW EXPRESS, #4 WYZEACT, #2 LUCKY DOLLAR, #1 JOSHUA HOTSNAKE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 29.06.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R600,000, 16:05GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: MRS GERIATRIX (4) went off the boil after her smashing two-year-old season but appears to be coming to hand again. She has a big weight against males but she is class and that could carry her home. Lucky Houdalakis sends out two runners and judging on the jockey engagements LAGUNA VERDE (8) could be the stable elect. He made sudden improvement last run and may have come to hand. Stable companion LADY FALLON (9) ran on well behind the smart filly Francis Ethel last time out with Zackey aboard. She makes her poly debut but has been improving steadily. PRINCE OF TARANTO (5) has been improving with every run and looks to have been primed for this race by Tony Rivalland. (Andrew Harrison: 4-8-9-5).
Selections:
#4 MRS GERIATRIX, #8 LAGUNA VERDE, #9 LADY FALLON, #5 PRINCE OF TARANTO
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 29.06.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R110,000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: Tricky handicap. STEVIE GEE (10) has the worst of the draw but was a touch unlucky last run. He has consistent form over course and distance. HIPPOCRATES (2) goes well on the poly and was a close-up third over course and distance last time out. BRAVE VOYAGER (9) is never far behind and although most of his recent form has been over further, he is effective over this shorter trip. Alyson Wright has three runners all with a chance. Stable rider Athandiwe Mgudlwa rides VICTOR RAIL (7) who seemingly has the weakest recent form. (Andrew Harrison: 10-2-9-7).
Selections:
#10 STEVIE GEE, #2 HIPPOCRATES, #9 BRAVE VOYAGER, #7 VICTOR RAIL
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 29.06.2024, Race 9, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R110,000, 17:20GMT+2
Race Summary: Summary: PHAKA IMALI (8) goes well on the poly and is in good form. The extra furlong should not be a problem. GORGEOUS DUDE (5) was a recent maiden winner when making his poly debut but had been making steady improvement. He is lightly raced and can follow up. STRAWBERRY STINGER (10) is coming to hand and was running on strongly on the poly last time out. The extra furlong will suit. BENNI IN THE AREA (2) has shown up well on the poly at his last two. He is a strong front runner and can make all. (Andrew Harrison: 8-5-10-2).
Selections:
#5 GORGEOUS DUDE, #8 PHAKA IMALI, #10 STRAWBERRY STINGER, #2 BENNI IN THE AREA
Best Win: #7 MAGIC TATTOO
Best Longshot: #1 RUSSIAN DOLL
