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

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

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

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.
