Sunday, 26 July 2026
Hollywoodbets Greyville
Race 1 – 12:15
1600m – Tote Stakes (Listed)
8 – Isivivane
Breeding: Erupt (IRE) – Rodeo Sioux by Casey Tibbs (IRE)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 8 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He was far from disgraced when fifth in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Durban July last time. It is never easy dropping from 2200m back to 1600m. He has done a great job since his last run and has freshened up beautifully. He is drawn awkwardly in Barrier Eight but does have the early gate speed to get across. With luck in running, he should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:108. Good effort in a Grade 1 last time. May be the one to side with.

Race 6 – 15:55
1200m – Mercury Sprint (Grade 1)
7 – Asiye Phambili
Breeding: What A Winter – Cast A Spell by Rambo Dancer (CAN)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 7 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 8/1
She comes off a victory in the Grade 1 South African Fillies Sprint. The daughter of What A Winter is very well in herself, and she has maintained her consistency throughout the season. She does take on male company, but we can expect another honest run from her.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Woodruff L-2026.02.28. Best MR:120. Respect.

Race 10 – 18:35
1000m – HKIR In December Umngeni Handicap (Listed)
3 – Chapbook
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Leaves Of Grass (AUS) by Poet’s Voice (GB)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 3 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He ran a good race when second over 1160m at Turffontein last time. The son of Rafeef is fit and well heading into this contest. He drops back to 1000m and jumps from an ideal draw of three. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Gavin Lerena rides and he should be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:106. Finished strongly into second last time. Should be a factor again.

Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Tristan Godden
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 7 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He is doing well at home and is looking good. The stable is happy with his work heading into this contest. It is a competitive field with numerous horses having decent winning chances. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Tristan Godden rides and a big run is expected.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:113. Is 4kgs better off at the weights with number 1 on last run.

Trainer: Clinton Binda

He is better than his last start in the Grade 3 Post Merchants. Two of his three career victories have come over this distance. He is doing well at home and with luck from his awkward draw of nine, we should see a form return.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:111. Solid form before last run. Went close under Veale in penultimate outing.

Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: * Reserve Runner 1
Wgt: 52.0kg
Draw: * (14 Runners)

He is Reserve Runner 1 and will need a scratching to get into the race. The son of Buffalo Bill Cody is carded to race at Turffontein on Saturday. This is a competitive field with numerous horses having decent winning chances. If getting into the race, we are hoping for another honest performance.
