Hollywoodbets Greyville Polytrack
Race 5 – 14:25
1400m – Gallop TV B Stakes
5 – Kitchakal
Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Daphne Garland by Fort Wood (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 55.5kg
Draw: 5 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He ran a good race when second over this distance on the turf last time. The son of Master Of My Fate is very well in himself and jumps from a handy draw of five. The blinkers remain fitted and he has a first three chance.

Race 5 – 14:25
1400m – Gallop TV B Stakes
8 – Capsaicin
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Queen Laurie by Great Britain (GB)
Trainer: Stuart Ferrie
Jockey: Serino Moodley
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 8 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He may not have seen out the 1750m in the Non-Black Type Michael Roberts Stakes last time. He returns from a 12-week break and drops back to 1400m. The son of Canford Cliffs drops in class and we can expect an honest performance from him.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 12 wks. Best MR:94. Ran in a Non-Black Type event last time. Has claims on fair previous form.

Race 6 – 15:00
1000m – In The Box Seat Podcast C Stakes
1 – Rock Music
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Casadesus (AUS) by High Chaparral (IRE)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: *Divesh Ramkhalawon -4.0kg
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 1 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He returns from a short nine-week break and is having his first outing for Trainer Gary Rich. In-form Apprentice Divesh Ramkhalawon will take the 4kgs off his back. The son of Canford Cliffs is doing very well at home and if not in need of the run, he is expected to produce a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Binda C-2026.02.06. Best MR:75. Second run in KZN. Drops back to minimum trip and can feature.

Race 9 – 16:45
1600m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 4
1 – CheersCheersCheers
Breeding: Hawwaam – Cherry Orchard by Horse Chestnut
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: *Divesh Ramkhalawon -4.0kg
Wgt: 55.0kg
Draw: 1 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
He has been disappointing since winning his maiden over 2000m on the polytrack. He gets a change of headgear, jumps from pole position and Apprentice Divesh Ramkhalawon takes the 4kgs off his back. We are hoping for improvement.
Winning Form Comment: Ex De Kock MF/MF-2025.10.27. 3rd run after rest. Blinkers OFF. Best MR:79. Not too consistent. Has upset potential.

Race 9 – 16:45
1600m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 4
4 – Tirpitz
Breeding: Silvano (GER) – Exotic (IRE) by Galileo (IRE)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 4 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He ran a good race when third in his last outing over 1500m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. The son of Silvano is doing very well at home. He jumps from an ideal draw of four and with SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Calvin Habib in the saddle, he should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:89. Decent latest run and the form line has been franked.

Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 5 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He ran a good race when third over 1400m on the turf last time. The son of Canford Cliffs has won on the polytrack previously. He is in a good space and has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2025.07.24. Best MR:85. Has decent recent form to his credit. Chance if settles.
