Race Summary: DUCHESS OF SEVILLE seems a bit better than she showed first time with blinkers and is overdue a first victory. RUBY CLAIRE is knocking at the door and should fight out the finish. COSMIC CLIFFS makes her local debut and would not be a surprise winner trying the Polytrack. MIDWICKET can improve trying the Polytrack.

Race Summary: A weak race and it is hard to believe FLIGHT ENGINEER ran as badly as he did last time out. He tries the Polytrack this time and could bounce back to score. BROOKSIDER is usually competitive and should fight out the finish of this race. CHIEF RUNNER flopped on local debut but would not be a surprise winner trying the Polytrack. GARDEN SUN tries the Polytrack after a change of trainer. PYRO PRINCE was well beaten in both starts but is capable of improvement after a change of trainer and trying this surface.

Race Summary: HOSPICES DE BEAUNE makes his local debut after a change of trainer and could score. The last run of AMERICAN MATADOR is clearly worth ignoring and he can win. ALWAYS SHINING likes the Polytrack and can go close to winning. LIGHTNINGFORK, SPRINGSTEEN and OH MANDY are all capable of running well and can be included in larger permutations.

Selections: #4 Hospices De Beaune, #1 American Matador, #2 Always Shining, #3 Cliffie Clavin

Fairview Polytrack, 28.03.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R80.000, 14:35GMT+2

Race Summary: CORAL CREEK is probably best on the turf but he did run well on this surface last time out and jockey Richard Fourie knows how to get the best out of him. OLIVER TWIST flopped last time but that run is best ignored and he could be a threat. KYOMAI makes his local debut and is not out of it. SILVER TYCOON is capable of getting into the thick of things when in the mood. BOSNAY likes the Polytrack but is not well drawn. A BIT CHILLY showed improvement last time out and could have more to offer.

Selections: #4 Coral Creek, #3 Silver Tycoon, #6 Bosnay, #7 A Bit Chilly

Fairview Polytrack, 28.03.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R84.500, 15:10GMT+2

Race Summary: ARABIAN RED was not disgraced when third in a better field than this last time out. She has won her last three starts on this surface and can score again. STRANGE MAGIC is unreliable but has a place chance. COULDITBE has some fair form and should fight it out. CALL TO GLORY and stable companion CONCERTO have not been reliable of late but both are capable of earning some more money. GET IT DONE and THREAD OF LIFE are both in good form and can get into the places with luck in running.

Selections: #2 Arabian Red, #3 Coulditbe, #4 Call To Glory, #6 Concerto

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 28.03.2025, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R110,000, 15:30GMT+2

Race Summary: It’s never easy, females taking on males but MS GALORE could fir the bill here. She has been unlucky in both starts and although drawn a little wide she does look progressive in a modest field. CATAVAR disappointed from a wide draw last run after a good previous effort. He has a better gate here. DANUBE returns from a spell on the Highveld and has not been far back. DOIN’ TIME has been doin’ time in the maidens and has his 24th start but has shown some recent improvement.

Selections: #8 MS GALORE, #5 CATAVAR, #10 DANUBE, #1 THAT’S ALL BROTHER

Fairview Polytrack, 28.03.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R80.000, 15:45GMT+2

Race Summary: SHARAPOVA has been a disappointment in that she has not won for some time now but she is very consistent and one of these days she will have that consistency rewarded with a victory. ASPOESTERTJIE flopped on local debut but is capable of being a threat when in the right mood. POMO’S BIG SPENDER has been in better races than this of late and could be the surprise package. NOTORIX and SWISS WALT both lack a strong finish when they need it most but are not out of it. PASHTUNWALI returns from a break and has a winning chance.

Selections: #5 Sharapova, #11 Pashtunwali, #8 Notorix, #9 Swiss Walt

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 28.03.2025, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R90,000, 16:05GMT+2

Race Summary: PURPLE POWAHOUSE is struggling for his fifth win but has been consistent and should be in the mix again. DRIVE BY has drawn wide but was close-up over course and distance last time out. BRASS BELL has also drawn wide and is something of a poly specialist but hardly ever puts in a bad effort. The filly GLAMORZ found good market support last time out over course and distance and failed narrowly. She can go one better.

Selections: #7 PURPLE POWAHOUSE, #10 GLAMORZ, #12 DRIVE BY, #11 BRASS BELL

Fairview Polytrack, 28.03.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1300m, Poly, R80.000, 16:20GMT+2

Race Summary: KING RAHUL did not run badly last time out and could do even better this time around. CHILI BOMB showed what he is capable of with a wide-margin maiden win and can follow up. GLOBETONIC has held his form well of late and could follow up on his good last win. IN THE GREEN ZONE tries further on this surface and is capable of an upset. POTENT CAPTAIN appears better than the last run would suggest. RAVILIOUS and PERFECT TRUST are capable of an upset. MISTER WHISTLE could also earn some money.

Selections: #9 King Rahul, #3 Globetonic, #1 Chili Bomb, #5 In The Green Zone

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 28.03.2025, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R125,000, 16:39GMT+2

Race Summary: KHETHIWE’S DESTINY is the youngest runner in the race but looks to have the most potential. She may well have needed her last run and take son some well exposed runners. CONVOCATION confirmed the form of her penultimate start when winning next time out. She only got a two-point rise the ratings. BEVIES DELIGHT flatters to deceive but is smart on her day while GET IN THE Q is way better than her last effort and Fortune from pole position will always be a threat.

Selections: #5 KHETHIWE’S DESTINY, #4 CONVOCATION, #2 BEVIES DELIGHT, #1 GET IN THE Q

Fairview Polytrack, 28.03.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1900m, Poly, R90.000, 16:55GMT+2

Race Summary: JACK IN THE GREEN has improved with blinkers but did not show his best last time out. STREWN SKY has changed trainers and would not be a surprise winner. DOWNING SEVEN is capable of an upset this course and distance. PAINITE won a good race on the turf last time out and is even better on this surface so must be included in all bets. ROLL OF THE DICE can make all the running if allowed a soft lead. LADIES WORLD could be the surprise package back on the Polytrack.

Selections: #6 Jack In The Green, #7 Roll Of The Dice, #1 Strewn Sky, #2 Downing Seven

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 28.03.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R125,000, 17:15GMT+2

Race Summary: GIVE ME EVERYTHING is unbeaten since shedding her maiden. The Cape form looks ominous and she can keep up her winning streak. SOVEREIGN GRANT has top weight but the best of the draw and comes from a very much in form stable. SHE’S A BOMBER  has drawn widest but looks to have plenty of promise and the drop in trip could be in her favour. ICE RAIN is unbeaten in two since arriving from the Cape and looks the pick of the Andre Nel trio.

Selections: #3 GIVE ME EVERYTHING, #1 SOVEREIGN GRANT, #12 SHE’S A BOMBER, #7 ICE SUNSATION

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 28.03.2025, Race 5, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R165,000, 17:50GMT+2

Race Summary: TEFLON MAN suddenly found form at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last run in a smart field. A repeat will see him close. SHIPHOLIA is a consistent mare that has been running well in good company. Handy weight from pole position. ANFIELDS ROCKET has patchy form but is smart on his day. Rested but first run for Trevor Brown who was Mike de Kock’s former Dubai assistant and now trains out of Ashburton. AFRICAN SKYLINE won over a mile last time out. Form of that race has not worked out but he does seem better over sprints.

Selections: #6 TEFLON MAN, #1 SHIPHOLIA, #7 ANFIELDS ROCKET, #8 AFRICAN SKYLINE

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 28.03.2025, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R250,000, 18:25GMT+2

Race Summary: GIMMIE’S COUNTESS has been racing is top feature company in the Cape. She is well in at the weights and from draw one she looks the most likely candidate for the winner’s enclosure. But she is not short of opposition. Sean Tarry makes the trip with GREEN SAPPHIRE who has yet to finish further back than second and drawn alongside Gimmie’s Countess. REGENERATION needed her comeback run and can feature while WARRIOR ROYALE is smart and goes well over this course and distance.

Selections: #1 GIMMIE’S COUNTESS, #2 GREEN SAPPHIRE, #4 REGENERATION, #7 WARRIOR ROYALE

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 28.03.2025, Race 7, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R300,000, 19:00GMT+2

Race Summary: O’TENIKWA has the widest draw in a small field and although well beaten last run at Hollywood Kenilworth it was a big field. He finish fourth to One Stripe in the Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas prior to that. CYMRIC found his best form last time out and is rarely out of the money. CAT’S PAJAMAS is the highest rated in the field and won well last time out beating some useful older horses. OXALIS GOLD takes on males but won well enough under a light weight last time out to be competitive.

Selections: #8 O’TENIKWA, #6 CYMRIC, #7 CATS PAJAMAS, #5 OXALIS GOLD

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 28.03.2025, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R110,000, 19:35GMT+2

Race Summary: TWO G’S won well first run up from the Cape and looks progressive. She faces some modest opposition and can follow up. BLOWIN IN THE WIND is way better than her last run when returning from a lengthy break. She had useful form before that and the stable is in form. CHELSEA FLOWER has a wide draw to contend with an has her first outing for a new stable. She has a big weight but is tough as they come. COLORADO CREEK has the worst of the draw but has been consistent of late. However, she may need some luck in running. 

Selections: #3 TWO G’S, #5 BLOWIN IN THE WIND, #12 CHELSEA FLOWER, #13 COLORADO CREEK

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 28.03.2025, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R110,000, 20:12GMT+2

Race Summary: HAPPY ANALIA found one too good for her in stable companion One Smart Cookie last run and her penultimate start is best ignored. EMERALD GREEN has a difficult draw but was ridden by an inexperienced apprentice last time out. Andrew Fortune could make all the difference. AVERNIAN GODDESS has been costly to follow but has dropped in the handicap and can feature prominently.  BUTTERCUP BABY is lightly raced and can improve on her handicap debut.

Selections: #2 HAPPY ANALIA, #14 EMERALD GREEN, #5 AVERNIAN GODDESS, #4 BUTTERCUP BABY
