Hollywoodbets Scottsville
Race 3 – 13:45
1750m – Online Form Guide www.gallop.co.za Maiden Plate (F & M)
6 – Skyline Bell
Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Path To Travel by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 6 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She is better than her last start as she did not enjoy racing on the polytrack. She is doing well at home and is a fit horse heading into this race. Pysche is the horse to beat on paper. The daughter of Master Of My Fate will enjoy racing on the turf, and we can expect big improvement.
Winning Form Comment: Had excuses in latest. Chance on penultimate run.

Race 4 – 14:20
1500m – Gallop TV B Stakes
3 – Tobacconist
Breeding: Flower Alley (USA) – La Linea by Dynasty
Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Nicholas Patel
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 3 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 16/1
He is a horse that the stable feel will be at his best over further. The son of Flower Alley is a big horse, and this is a run to keep him ticking over. He is ideally drawn in Barrier Three and we are hoping to see signs of a form return.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:83. Needed last two starts. Chance from a good draw.

Race 4 – 14:20
1500m – Gallop TV B Stakes
4 – Capsaicin
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Queen Laurie by Great Britain (GB)
Trainer: Stuart Ferrie
Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 4 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He is better than his last start in the Non-Black Type Michael Roberts Stakes. He will be ideally suited to this distance and jumps from a good draw of four. Keagan de Melo is booked to ride, and we can expect a much better run from him.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:94. Better than moderate last start. Has claims on fair previous form.

Race 4 – 14:20
1500m – Gallop TV B Stakes
12 – Tyrconnell
Breeding: The United States (IRE) – Carraig Aonair (IRE) by Fastnet Rock (AUS)
Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 12 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He was doing his best work late when third in the Non-Black Type Fever Tree Stakes last time. The son of The United States is in a good space. The obvious concern is the widest draw and with luck in running, he should be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:86. Meets number 1 on the same weight terms. Chance with luck.

Race 5 – 14:55
1400m – March Stakes (Non-Black Type)
1 – I’m A Fireball
Breeding: Vercingetorix – Gibraltar Blue (IRE) by Rock Of Gibraltar (IRE)
Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Callan Murray
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 1 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
His last start in the Grade 2 TAB Gauteng Guineas is best ignored. The son of Vercingetorix is working well and jumps from pole position. He will enjoy the drop to 1400m and on the form of his penultimate outing, he should be involved.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2025.07.14. Best MR:105. Didn’t shape in a Grade 2 last time. His prior form reads well.

Race 5 – 14:55
1400m – March Stakes (Non-Black Type)
4 – Gotta Go Eddie
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Carmalita (AUS) by Commands (AUS)
Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 4 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He has finished second in his last two starts, the latest of which was over 1750m on this course. He drops to 1400m which may be on the short side for him. The son of Gimmethegreenlight will be running on and we can expect an honest effort.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:93. Is coming off back-to-back runner-up finishes. Go close.
