Hollywoodbets Greyville Polytrack

Race 1 – 11:55
1600m – Online Form Guide www.gallop.co.za Maiden Plate (F & M)

3 – Feather Dancer
Breeding: Vercingetorix – Sky Capers by Jet Master
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Cole Dicken
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 3 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 12/1

She has settled in nicely at her new yard and her work has improved. The stable are trying her over a mile which could bring about improvement. If she sees out the trip, she is expected to finish in the placings.

Winning Form Comment: Ex Binda C-2024.07.14. Blinkers OFF. Best MR:71. Moderate form. Tries a mile and can improve.

Race 4 – 13:40
1400m – TABGold Score 10 FM 91 Divided Handicap (F & M)

2 – Zinikele
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Furina by Parade Leader (USA)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Marco van Rensburg
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 2 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1

She is better than her last start over 1500m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. She returns to her favourite course and distance. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight is doing well at home and from her good draw of two, she is expected to fight out the finish.

Winning Form Comment: Best MR:93. Flat run last time. Is C&D suited and can improve.

Race 7 – 15:25
1200m – Greyville Convention Centre MR 96 Handicap

5 – Kupholiwe
Breeding: William Longsword – Enchanting Cathy by Var (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Tristan Godden
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 5 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1

He returns from a three-month break and races on the polytrack for the first time. He shows natural pace so the poly surface should not be an issue. He is fit enough and his work at home leading into the race has been encouraging. A positive return is expected.

Winning Form Comment: Rested 13 wks. Best MR:97. Better than last two runs. Can improve if suited to the polytrack.

Race 7 – 15:25
1200m – Greyville Convention Centre MR 96 Handicap

8 – Hope Is Power
Breeding: Soft Falling Rain – Sarasota by Kahal (GB)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: *Siyanda Sosibo
Wgt: 53.5kg
Draw: 8 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1

His last start is best ignored as he clipped heels and stumbled badly at the 600m mark. He does return from a 28-week break and is expected to be in need of this run. The outing will bring him on for future races.

Winning Form Comment: Rested 28 wks. Best MR:89. Had excuses in latest. May need the outing.

Race 8 – 16:00
1200m – Open A TABGold Account – 031 314 1874 MR 66 Handicap

3 – Phaka Imali
Breeding: Var (USA) – Endearment (AUS) by Hussonet (USA)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: #Rachel Venniker -1.5kg
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 3 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1

He carries joint top-weight in this handicap but gets the services of Rachel Venniker and her 1.5kg claim will help. He drops back in trip to his favoured 1200m and has a good draw. He is doing very well in his work and the stable are expecting him to be in the firing line.

Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Better than latest. Chance on consistent previous form.

Race 8 – 16:00
1200m – Open A TABGold Account – 031 314 1874 MR 66 Handicap

10 – Lou Lou The Legend
Breeding: Ideal World (USA) – Imperial Empress by Toreador (IRE)
Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 10 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1

He has his second run for the stable and has drawn poorly once again. Ideally he would prefer further but he is fresh and fit going into this contest, and although he will come on for the run, he should not be ignored in all bets.

Winning Form Comment: Ex Kannemeyer D-2024.05.15. Best MR:72. Finished close-up behind subsequent winner in latest. Respect.
