Race Summary: 9 SPIRIT ran a fair race last time behind All The Rage, he raced just off the speed and stayed on nicely to the line late, he is still improving with every start and must be respected here. 3 BUGLE BOY ran a lovely race on debut at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, he was still very green and managed to finish off his race nicely late, if he can build on that performance, he will have a good winning chance. 8 BIG DEAL ran fifth on debut and was beaten just over eight lengths by the winner, the form lines of that race have worked out well, he can only improve with more racing, watch him closely. It’s a race filled with many well-bred first timers, watch the market and watch them move down to the gates before making your final selections.

Race Summary: 8 JOUEUR DE FLUTE ran a fair race in a very weak field last time, he would have needed that run back from a long rest, he has the experience and should improve quite a bit from his last run, include him into all bets. 11 CALL ME JANE has been rested for 153 days, she ran a good race on debut when finishing second behind Priscilla Maisey on the 29th of October 2024, she was then very disappointing in her next start behind Love Story where she ran just over five lengths behind the winner, she is much better than that performance, watch her closely, she can improve here. The raced runners definitely don’t have strong form, watch the first timers and watch the market again in Race 2.

Race Summary: GRIPEN (5) is well tried but comes from the Cape and brings some fair form with! His penultimate effort when 2nd at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth is particularly good. He is the first suggestion. KING CELTILLUS (3) is making huge inroads and improving with each run – strong each way chance and a huge danger to the first choice. EL CAPITAN (11) has a huge place chance and should win soon. WHITE SEAHORSE (10) is a must for the quartet.

Race Summary: 1 MONT LOISIR has been in great form of late, he ran an absolute cracker last time behind Trippi’s Silk, even though he has top weight of 61.5kgs to shoulder, he has the perfect draw of 1, he loves the distance of 1400m, and jockey Richard Fourie knows him well, he will go very close to winning. 8 TRES CHIC is as honest as they come, she never runs a bad race and she tries really hard, if she can get some luck in running from a wide draw, she will have a good each way chance again. 9 ISCHYRO has been rested for 61 days, he ran a great race behind Arbitration on the 26th of February, he needs a particular ride, if the race works out for him, he will have a good money chance from a wide draw. 2 MELA STRENGTH should enjoy the 1400m trip, on his best form, he could be the value in a tricky race.

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE, 28.04.2025, Race 4, Gallops, 1800m, Turf, R100,000, 15:05GMT+2
Race Summary: Not the strongest field ever seen in this class 5 which makes it tough to predict the outcome. NATIONAL DREAM (3) could be teed up for a huge effort and has not been far off the action since returning from a rest. He could be the one they all have to fear the most. TWILIGHT WARRIOR (1) is a maiden but can be competitive in this field and is a must for all bets. FUTURE SAINT (5) and SACRED LILY (2) can finish in the first four.
Selections: #3 NATIONAL DREAM, #1 TWILIGHT WARRIOR, #5 FUTURE SAINT, #2 SACRED LILY

Race Summary: 6 ONI SAN has been rested for 65 days, she absolutely took off late last time for third behind My Only Weakness, she has dropped even further in the ratings, she must have a good winning chance here. 8 LICKETY SPLIT has been rested for 93 days, ignore her last run completely, she was outclassed in the Grade 3 Summer Fling Stakes, even though she carries a big weight here, and this is on the short side for her, she will be doing her best work late. 3 MY ONLY WEAKNESS ran a shocker in her last start behind Fun Zone, she is much better than that, the cheek pieces have been fitted and she gets a nice draw, she should bounce back to her best form. 2 PILOT FLAME has been in good form of late, she will enjoy the step up in trip to 1400m, and jockey Richard Fourie has been booked to ride, include her into all bets.

Race Summary: KADIZORA (2) is ultra-consistent and looks ready to record her next career win. She gets a neat draw and Muzi Yeni again. BASIE RAAKVAT (5) ran an attractive race last time, has solid overall form and should, again, give a very good account of himself. KING BAVARIAN (8) can finish in the first three and is a natural inclusion for the trifecta play and MOUNTAINSOFTHEMOON (1) should be in the shake-up.
Selections: #2 KADIZORA, #5 BASIE RAAKVAT, #8 KING BAVARIAN, #1 MOUNTAINSOFTHEMOON
