It’s a busy start to the month for the Hollywood Syndicate, this Monday 1 March. We have four runners carded, after Alphamikefoxtrot was scratched in race 7. See more about what we are expecting here.
Monday 1 March 2021
Hollywoodbets Greyville
Race 2 – 13:30
1100m – Race Card www.goldcircle.co.za Maiden Plate (Fillies)
2 – Gimethepurplelight
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Wings Of Fortune by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Glen Kotzen
Jockey: Warren Kennedy
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 2 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 16/10
She is drawn well with Warren Kennedy up after that rather disappointing performance last time out, at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. This time around she will get the blinkers fitted and the plan will be to position her closer to the front of the field. On her work at home the stable are expecting a much-improved performance.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:70. Moderate latest but gets blinkers fitted. Has claims on good penultimate run.

2 – You Deserve It
Breeding: Pathfork (USA) – Stargazer Pink by Jallad (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Jason Gates
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 2 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
She drops in class here and reverts back to the shorter trip this time around. From a plum draw the stable are expecting to see her show substantial improvement now and she should have useful place credentials against this company.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Two poor post maiden runs. Has first run on poly and can improve from neat draw.

He gets in today after the two scratchings in the race and jumps from barrier 5. The stable are expecting him to run a much better race, now that he is over those soundness issues he has endured of late.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:82. Excuses in latest. Chance on fair prior form.

His work is definitely better than his form suggests, so he has been sent down to KZN to see if he may be better suited to the Polytrack. Drawn wide on his debut for the Alyson Wright stable, we’ll be looking for some kind of improvement.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Binda C-2020.12.17. Rested 11 wks. Best MR:70. Makes stable debut. May be suited to poly and can improve.
