Hollywoodbets Greyville
Race 2 – 17:05
1600m – www.galloptv.co.za MR 72 Handicap (F & M)
5 – Qondanekukhanyeni
Breeding: Global View (USA) – Unconditional (IRE) by Danehill Dancer (IRE)
Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 5 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
She’s doing nicely at home and has had a good preparation heading into this race. The stable is going to fit her with a tongue-tie for this outing. The daughter of Global View should be ideally suited to 1600m and she drops in class. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa retains the ride and a big run is expected.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. Decent latest. Is likely to race on the speed and can feature.

1600m – www.galloptv.co.za MR 72 Handicap (F & M)
6 – Lizwile Ilali
Breeding: Lancaster Bomber (USA) – Tonya by Dynasty
Trainer: Michael Roberts
Jockey: #Rachel Venniker -1.5kg
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 6 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She didn’t enjoy racing on the polytrack in her last start. The daughter of Lancaster Bomber steps up to 1600m and returns to the turf. She’s doing nicely at home and we can expect to see improvement.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:84. Moderate latest. Takes a slight drop-in class and can improve.

Breeding: What A Winter – All Mine by Var (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 7 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She jumps from barrier seven with Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa retaining the ride. Her last two starts with the blinkers fitted have been disappointing and the stable have opted to remove the headgear. She’s doing nicely at home and we expect to see a better run from her.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers OFF. Best MR:72. Placed in both C&D attempts. Consider.

Race 6 – 19:25
1200m – TABGold Score 6 Score 8 Score 10 MR 94 Handicap

Breeding: William Longsword – Enchanting Cathy by Var (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 10 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He does have an awkward draw of ten to overcome. The son of William Longsword is in great order, moving well and he’s in a good space. Calvin Habib retains the ride and with luck in running, he should finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:97. Beaten by a top sprinter in latest. Include.

Race 6 – 19:25
1200m – TABGold Score 6 Score 8 Score 10 MR 94 Handicap
12 – Shanta’s Pride
Breeding: William Longsword – Cassie O’Malley by Jet Master
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Serino Moodley
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 12 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She has won her last two starts over this course and distance. She’s in good order and the stable is happy with her heading into this race. The obvious concern is the widest draw of 12. It’s a competitive field and with luck in running, we’re hoping to see her bring up the hat-trick.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:88. Four-time C&D winner. Should give the males a run for their money.

Race 7 – 20:00
1400m – Follow In The Box Seat Podcast MR 84 Handicap
7 – Bowie
Breeding: Twice Over (GB) – Super Model by National Assembly (CAN)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 62.0kg
Draw: 7 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He’s having his second run after a rest. He’s looking good and is well within himself. The obvious concern is his big mass of 62kgs. However, we do expect improvement on his comeback run. He’s a much fitter horse and he can finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:99. Needed latest. Must consider.

Breeding: Duke Of Marmalade (IRE) – Stormin Cat by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 9 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He should’ve finished closer to the winner in his last start over this distance on the polytrack. He’s at his best on the polytrack but is fit and well heading into this contest. With a bit of luck from barrier nine, he’s capable of finishing in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:90. Should’ve finished closer last time. Chance with luck in running.

Breeding: William Longsword – Kilauea by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Cole Dicken
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 9 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He has consistent form lines to his credit and won his last start over this distance on the polytrack. He’s doing very well at home and has done well on this course previously. With a bit of luck from his wide draw of nine, he should go close.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. Likely pacesetter. In a good space and is ideally suited to this distance.
