Hollywoodbets Greyville
Race 1 – 15:38
1200m – Welcome To The PinkDrive Charity Racemeeting Maiden Plate
11 – Skipper Zip
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Sausalito Bay by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Stuart Ferrie
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 11 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He was badly in need of his debut run over this course and distance. Trainer Stuart Ferrie feels that he has seen improvement from the son of Rafeef at home. The obvious concern is the widest draw but with luck in running, we can expect to see a better performance.
Winning Form Comment: Drawn widest but can improve on first run.

Race 3 – 16:50
1600m – Coastal Horse Care Unit Maiden Plate
6 – Director
Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Villa Paloma (IRE) by Rock Of Gibraltar (IRE)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 6 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He returns from a short nine-week break, during which time he was gelded. The son of Master Of My Fate may need this outing to bring him to his peak. However, he is doing well at home and we can expect an encouraging return to the races.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2025.09.02. Best MR:77. Placed in last three starts. Is likely to race on the speed and can threaten.

2 – Purple Powahouse
Breeding: What A Winter – Clarion Call by Kabool (GB)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 2 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He has been disappointing in his last two starts. He jumps from draw two with Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale booked to ride. He is fit and well and we are expecting a better run from him.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:77. Better than last two runs. Place chance.

Race 7 – 19:10
1000m – BetFred – Come And Have A Go! Middle Stakes (F & M)
1 – Ayuwi Yuwi
Breeding: Captain Of All – Neurose (BRZ) by Dubai Dust (USA)
Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 1 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
The stable have freshened her up for this race and she jumps from pole position. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale feels that she is better suited to the Hollywoodbets Scottsville straight course. The daughter of Captain Of All may need this outing, but a positive run is expected.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:83. Is held by number 7 on latest run. Place chance.

Race 8 – 19:45
1400m – Hollywood Foundation B Stakes
9 – Isivivane
Breeding: Erupt (IRE) – Rodeo Sioux by Casey Tibbs (IRE)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 9 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He returns from a 16-week break, and he looks very well in his coat. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale is happy with his work heading into this race. The son of Erupt may need his comeback run marginally and it is a competitive contest. We are hoping to see him running on at the business end.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 16 wks. Gelded 2024.06.18. Best MR:98. Was not disgraced in last two starts. Can show if fit.

Race 8 – 19:45
1400m – Hollywood Foundation B Stakes
10 – Capsaicin
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Queen Laurie by Great Britain (GB)
Trainer: Stuart Ferrie
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 10 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
He produced a good comeback run over 1600m on the polytrack last time. The son of Canford Cliffs has come through that run well and should strip a lot fitter. He has the early gate speed to overcome his wide draw and is expected to go close to winning.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:94. Fair comeback run over a mile and should strip fitter. Consider.

Race 8 – 19:45
1400m – Hollywood Foundation B Stakes
12 – Stars In Heaven
Breeding: Danon Platina (JPN) – Star Evolution by Var (USA)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: *Damyan Pillay -4.0kg
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 12 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He went too fast in the early stages of his last start and is better than that outing suggests. He is drawn wide this evening, and we are hoping that 4kgs claiming Apprentice Damyan Pillay can get him into a nice rhythm. He is doing well at home and if all goes according to plan, he should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:87. Needed latest and has pace to get across from the wide draw. Can show.

13 – Kitchakal
Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Daphne Garland by Fort Wood (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 13 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He returns from a 13-week break and has a wide draw to contend with. The stable feels that he will need the run and this outing will bring him on nicely for future races. He will be ridden from off the pace, and we are hoping to see him running on at the business end.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 13 wks. Best MR:93. Had excuses last time. May need it.

Race 9 – 20:20
1200m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 4 (F & M)
9 – Izibulo
Breeding: Lancaster Bomber (USA) – Talitha Borealis by Ideal World (USA)
Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 53.0kg
Draw: 9 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
She returns from a 13-week break and jumps from an awkward draw of nine. The daughter of Lancaster Bomber is doing well at home. This outing will keep her ticking over as she is a filly that prefers further. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale rides and with luck in running, she is expected to run a good race.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 13 wks. Best MR:82. Better than latest. Can improve if settles.
