Hollywoodbets Greyville
Race 4 – 13:20
1400m – The Sharks Gatecrasher Stakes (Listed)
8 – Kupholiwe
Breeding: William Longsword – Enchanting Cathy by Var (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 8 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He continues to progress nicely, he is in good order and is fit enough to do himself justice. It is a difficult race to assess as the pecking order of the two year old form is still being established. We can look forward to a progressive run and he will take improvement from this race.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Won latest easier than the margin suggests. Still on the upgrade.

Race 6 – 14:33
1400m – East Coast Radio Tibouchina Stakes (Grade 2)
6– Shantastic
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Gain Ground by Fort Wood (USA)
Trainer: Dean Kannemeyer
Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 6 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 6/1
She is much better than her last start in the Grade 2 WSB Fillies Guineas as she had no luck up the straight. This will be a big test for her, but she is doing extremely well and if all goes well, she will be involved in the fight to the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:101. Is better than latest. Drops back to 1400m and can go close.

Race 6 – 14:33
1400m – East Coast Radio Tibouchina Stakes (Grade 2)
12 – Going Up
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Raise The Bar by Goldkeeper (USA)
Trainer: Candice Bass-Robinson
Jockey: Aldo Domeyer
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 12 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She travelled up well to KZN and has been behaving herself. The stable are happy with her heading into this race and she is fit. The obvious concern is that she is drawn widest of all, but with some luck in running, she should run a positive race.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:107. Won the Listed WSB Ladies Mile. Is likely to take her medicine from a wide draw and can feature.

Race 9 – 16:18
1100m – Comrades Marathon Association MR 84 Handicap (F & M)
6 – Shanta’s Pride
Breeding: William Longsword – Cassie O’Malley by Jet Master
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 6 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She continues to impress on the track and her work is of a high standard. Richard Fourie retains the ride and although it is a very competitive field, she looks set to run to the best of her form. The daughter of William Longsword should be involved in the fight to the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. Finished strongly to win latest. Got three pound penalty and can repeat.

Race 9 – 16:18
1100m – Comrades Marathon Association MR 84 Handicap (F & M)
10 – Shipholia
Breeding: William Longsword – Sea Glitter (USA) by Holy Bull (USA)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 10 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She is doing very well and is progressing all the time. The obvious concern is that she is drawn widest of all in barrier 10. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa retains the ride and with luck in running, she should go close to winning.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:85. Finished runner-up in this class last time and merits healthy respect.
