Friday 4 December 2020
Hollywoodbets Greyville
Race 4 – 15:35
1100m – Soccer 6 Merit Rated 78 Handicap
1 – Jozi Hustle
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Muzi Yeni
Wgt: 52.0kg
Draw: 1 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
He has found two tricky draws in his last two starts around the bend and now makes his stable debut for Gary Rich from barrier 1. A speedy son of Great Britain, he has settled in nicely and shown some solid work of late. From a plum draw, he should have a useful place chance.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Binda C-2020.11.08. 3rd run after rest. Blinkers OFF. Best MR:79. First run for Rich camp, can improve.
10 – Purple Powahouse
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Lyle Hewitson
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 10 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 2/1
Having finished in a very credible 2nd place earlier this Monday, when being overhauled late by the Hollywood Syndicate owned Spydas Corner, he has taken the run well and looks set for another appearance here. The wide draw won’t help his chances, but he has the gate speed to find a relatively prominent early position with Lyle Hewitson retaining the ride and he is a course and distance winner in his only attempt over this 1100m trip. With a bit of luck in running, he should be a big factor here.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:71. Just pipped in latest. Last win came over this c&d, respect.
Race 5 – 16:10
1600m – Gold Circle Horses To Follow Merit Rated 89 Handicap
3 – Ralph The Rascal
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Lyle Hewitson
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 3 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
He steps up to a trip where he should be very effective, after showing some very promising ability over 1400m so far. From a plum draw, Lyle Hewitson retains the ride and if this run hasn’t come too soon after his last start on the 15th of November, he should be one of the leading contenders here. The stable are confident of a big performance from him.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:82. Faced stronger in latest. Should have no issues with the mile, follow.
Race 6 – 16:45
1400m – Track & Ball Gaming Merit Rated 74 Hcp (F&M)
1 – Purple Nkanyezi
Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Serino Moodley
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 1 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
This filly has had a luckless run since winning on debut over a year ago. She comes back from a short rest and the stable have done plenty of work with her leading up to this comeback run. Off a very competitive rating, having dropped to a mark of 74, she looks set to make big improvement now and should have a very nice each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 12 wks. Best MR:88. Returns from a short break. Dropping rapidly in the ratings and can improve.
