Race Summary: TREND MAKER (1) has only had two starts, both in the soft. He has shown ability in those two outings and from the best of the draw he could be the one to beat. ONE ARMED BANDIT (12) has been knocking on the door for some time now. He has the widest draw to contend with and takes to the poly with some luck in running he should go close again. RIVER DANCE (11) has shown some recent improvement and goes well on the poly. Lightly raced BRING THE MAGIC (2) has a 4kg claimer aboard for Darryl Moore and can feature.
Selections: #1 TREND MAKER, #12 ONE ARMED BANDIT, #11 RIVER DANCE, #2 BRING THE MAGIC

Race Summary: DRESSEDTOTHENINES (6) was a recent maiden winner but had been progressing with each outing. He has a fair weight to shoulder but looks capable in this field. GOREGEOUS DUDE (4) has shown recent improvement since being dropped in trip. Stable companion PURPLE POWAHOUSE (3) goes very well over course and distance and at best can get another win on the board. Kom Naidoo has put the blinkers back on TEEREX (2) to go with the tongue-tie and his poly form is not too shabby.
Selections: #6 DRESSEDTOTHENINES, #2 TEEREX, #3 PURPLE POWAHOUSE, #4 GORGEOUS DUDE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 29.01.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1800m, Poly, R90,000, 14:20GMT+2
Race Summary: EL CAPITAN (12) has the widest draw but has shown up well in two starts since arriving in KZN from the Cape and the step up in trip should not be a problem. WHITE SEAHORSE (6) makes his local debut after an improved effort at Kenilworth last time out. Gavin Lerena puts up 2kg over weight but that could be an indication of stable confidence. CITY LIGHTS (5) makes her way from the Highveld and she boast some useful form over the trip. She has shown up well on the poly and cannot be ignored. SAMUEL LONGSWORD (3) takes a big jump in trip. Light weight and blinkers off could see him into the money.
Selections: #12 EL CAPITAN, #6 WHITE SEAHORSE, #5 CITY LIGHTS, #3 SAMUEL LONGSWORD

Race Summary: MOCHA BLEND (9) is a smart specimen and shed her maiden in impressive fashion at just he second start. She does appear to have a touch of class in this field. SONATA SAMARITAN (10) is looks to be capable of progressing and this trip will suit. OFF LIMITS (8) has been making steady progress since her last win on the poly and was a beaten favourite last time out. Rachel Venniker has stayed with Doug Campbell’s filly SASCHA’S DREAM (2) who has a smart draw and goes well over course and distance.
Selections: #9 MOCHA BLEND, #10 SONATA SAMARITAN, #8 OFF LIMITS, #2 SASCHA’S DREAM
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 29.01.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R80,000, 15:30GMT+2
Race Summary: MAMAS BABY (3) just needed her last run and although she carries top weight she should go close in this line-up. QUENTASIA (5) is never far back and has a light weight with Rachel Venniker’s allowance a bonus. HEAD GIRL (6) finally shed her maiden after finishing in the money in 14 of her 19 starts. Although she looks held by a number in this field, not that she has got her head in front. DRIVE BY (2) is never far back and comes form a very much in form stable. She has a favourable draw to help.
Selections: #3 MAMAS BABY, #5 QUENTASIA, #6 HEAD GIRL, #2 DRIVE BY
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 29.01.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R110,000, 16:10GMT+2
Race Summary: HOPE IS POWER (8) was a recent winner but only got a two-point raise in the handicap. Down in class with a big weight but can go on again. Game veteran PREEMPTIVE STIKE (1) and the grey VOLDEMORT (2) are both in good form and should not be far apart come the finish but Fanie Bronkhorst cane pay for his trip from the Highveld with GODSPEED (7) who was much improved last run and the poly could bring out the best.
Selections: #8 HOPE IS POWER, #2 VOLDEMORT, #7 GODSPEED, #1 PREEMPTIVE STRIKE
HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE POLYTRACK, 29.01.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R90,000, 16:45GMT+2
Race Summary: EL DRAQUE (2) is struggling for his next win but this looks tailor-made with Gavin Lerena at the reigns again. PORFIRIO (4) was a beaten favourite at his last two and must have a strong chance in this line-up of making amends. BREATH OF MAGIC (11) has shown some signs of life on the Highveld and could overcome his deep draw. BALLY MAGIC (12) is a poly specialist but was probably in need of his last run after returning from a lengthy break. A wide draw does not help his chances but with some luck in runner he should feature.
Best Win: #9 MOCHA BLEND
Best Value Bet: #8 HOPE IS POWER
