Hollywoodbets Greyville Polytrack
Race 3 – 13:45
1400m – Greyville Convention Centre Maiden Plate
1 – Allaroundtheworld
Breeding: Oasis Dream (GB) – Same Jurisdiction by Mambo In Seattle (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 1 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
We made a mistake last time by removing the blinkers. Jockey Calvin Habib said that he doesn’t try too hard without the headgear. He does meet a competitive field, but we are hoping to see him run to best form. From pole position, he can run into the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:79. Ignore latest. Has claims on penultimate run.

1800m – Follow In The Box Seat Podcast Novice Handicap
4 – Eventidor
Breeding: Elusive Fort – Early Spring by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 54.5kg
Draw: 4 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He jumps from draw four with Keagan de Melo in the saddle. He produced a pleasing effort in his last run over 1600m on this course. The son of Elusive Fort will prefer this 1800m, he is expected to be running on and fighting out the finish.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Gelded 2022.02.22. Best MR:71. Finished well in comeback run and shoulders a handy galloping weight.

5 – High Moon
Breeding: Silvano (GER) – Makiwara (USA) by Smart Strike (CAN)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 5 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
He ran a very good race when finishing third over 1600m on this course last time. Calvin Habib retains the ride and we will be disappointed if he doesn’t finish in the first three.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:81. Finished close-up in both starts under Habib and is difficult to oppose.

Race 7 – 16:05
1400m – Online Form Guide www.gallop.co.za MR 72 Handicap
4 – SyX Hotfix
Breeding: Flower Alley (USA) – Kiss For Kate by Jallad (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 4 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
His last run was disappointing, but we feel that he was too handy. He is a much better horse on the polytrack and will be switched off near the rear of the field. The son of Flower Alley will be running on and we are expecting a better run from him.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:76. There have been multiple winners from his recent form line. Will strip fitter.

Breeding: Visionaire (USA) – Berlinetta by Jet Master
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 9 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 16/1
She is doing well and her work heading into this race has been good. She is back on the polytrack and she is expected to run a better race. With a bit of luck from the widest draw of nine, she should have an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:81. She is at her best on this surface. Can show.
