CAPTAIN MARSALA (11) has placed seven times from nine starts and has a huge place chance again – should win soon. MILAN’S WORLD (7) has Highveld form and more than likely has plenty more to offer. Strong each way chance. HIGHER LOVE (8) is the value for the quartet.

Race Summary: BELLA’S PABLO (1) ran well last time and can be expected to go one more, especially from the best gate. FRENCH TRIP (7) has solid Cape Town form and should not take too long to record his maiden win. FIRE FORCE (9) has a strong place chance as does FUTURE FLO (8).

Selections:

#1 BELLA’S PABLO, #7 FRENCH TRIP, #8 FUTURE FLO, #9 FIRE FORCE

HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 24.07.2024, Race 5, Gallops, 1950m, Turf, R120,000, 14:50GMT+2

Race Summary: WILLOW’S WISH (9) won well last time and can follow up. BLACKBERRY MALT (5) ran a much-improved race last time and based on that alone, has to be respected and included in most bets. PIRATE PRINCE (8) is never far off the action and is an obvious chance in this and TROIS TROIS QUATRE (7) won well last time and is a must for everything.

Selections:

#9 WILLOW’S WISH, #5 BLACKBERRY MALT, #8 PIRATE PRINCE, #7 TROIS TROIS QUATRE

HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 24.07.2024, Race 6, Gallops, 1750m, Turf, R115,000, 15:25GMT+2

Race Summary: SELUKWE (13) won cozily last time under Tristan Godden and it is no surprise to see him keep the ride. He does have a wide draw to deal with but is still, nevertheless, selected for the win. TEICHAMN (10) is the each way value suggestion. LUCKY DOLLAR (9) is clearly in a very good space and doing well for his connections – strong claims. FAMOUS AND RICH (8) is a tad erratic but on best efforts, can threaten.

Selections:

#13 SELUKWE, #10 TEICHMAN, #9 LUCKY DOLLAR, #8 FAMOUS AND RICH

HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 24.07.2024, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R115,000, 16:00GMT+2

Race Summary: SHANTA’S PRIDE (2) can be forgiven for her last run but was also far from disgraced. Richard Fourie gets the ride back and she is confidently selected to get back to winning ways. PATANTS HEIR (10) is clearly useful, impressed when winning last time and is a serious threat – can win. CHELSEA FLOWER (1) went close last time, gets a light weight again and should be in the first three. LA DIVINA (4) is a must for trifectas and quartets.

Selections:

#2 SHANTA’S PRIDE, #10 PATANTS HEIR, #1 CHELSEA FLOWER, #4 LA DIVINA

HOLLYWOODBETS SCOTTSVILLE, 24.07.2024, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R110,000, 16:35GMT+2

Race Summary: MOYA WA LALIGA (16) boasts consistent form, nearly won last time and reverts to the turf. He does have a hefty weight to shoulder but can nevertheless, still put in a huge run. MAR DEL PLATA (15) is never far off them, tries hard and has strong each way claims. INTREPID (2) and COTTON RON (12) are musts for the quartet – Cotton Ron is the value suggestion.

Selections:

#16 MOYA WA LALIGA, #15 MAR DEL PLATA, #2 INTREPID, #12 COTTON RON

Best Win: #5 SAUDI SWEEP

Best Value Bet: #4 LA DIVINA
