Sunday, 29 June 2025
Hollywoodbets Scottsville
Race 3 – 12:55
1200m – Gallop Form Class 3
2 – Isivivane
Breeding: Erupt (IRE) – Rodeo Sioux by Casey Tibbs (IRE)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 2 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
A line can be drawn through his last two starts and he is better than those efforts suggest. He appears to be in a much better space, and he is a happy horse. It is a competitive field with numerous horses having decent winning chances. However, if bringing his A-game on Sunday, he can fight out the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2024.06.18. Best MR:98. Better than last two starts. Trainer’s only runner today.

Race 3 – 12:55
1200m – Gallop Form Class 3
8 – Black Egret
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Water Bird by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 8 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He has finished second in his last two starts at Turffontein. It is a competitive field but the stable feels that it is within his scope. The son of Rafeef runs well for Ridgemont-sponsored Jockey Richard Fourie. He is having his peak run and he can go close to winning.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:97. Brings good Gauteng form. Strong contender.

Breeding: Fire Away (USA) – Centimes (GB) by Shamardal (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 11 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He has lost his way since going to Cape Town. The son of Fire Away is very well in himself and he is a much fitter horse heading into this race. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa retains the rides, and we are hoping for an improved effort.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Muscutt PB-2025.02.08. 2nd run after rest. Best MR:85. Needed latest after a break. Watch.

12 – Kwagga Blitz
Breeding: Captain Of All – African Honey by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Chase Maujean
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 12 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He won a good race at long-odds over this distance on the polytrack last time. He is a horse with ability but is not the most genuine animal. He will need everything to go his way in running and with Chase Maujean retaining the ride, we are hoping to see another bold effort from him.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. Shock winner in latest. Cannot be ignored.

Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 13 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He has come on a lot since his first run for the MJ Odendaal stable. He is not quite where the stable wants him, but he is expected to run a good race. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale rides and this outing will bring him to his peak.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Crawford B-2024.12.05. 2nd run after rest. Best MR:85. Showed signs of needing local debut. Watch.

Trainer: Siboniso Ngcobo
Jockey: *Brevan Plaatjies -1.5kg
Wgt: 62.0kg
Draw: 4 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He is better than his last start over 1600m on the polytrack. The son of Gimmethegreenlight is working exceptionally well heading into this contest. He gets the services of 1.5kgs claiming Apprentice Brevan Plaatjies and from his good draw of four, he has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:87. Ideal trip. Can upset on best form.

Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 4 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She is better than her last start over 2000m on the polytrack. She is doing nicely at home and will enjoy the drop back to 1600m. The daughter of Global View has won on this course previously and we are expecting an honest run from her.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. The form of her penultimate run is appealing. Chance.

Jockey: *Jacey Botes -4.0kg
Wgt: 62.5kg
Draw: 11 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 50/1
He returns from a 23-week break. He has been gelded and given time to grow into himself. He is doing well but the stable feels that he will need this run. He will prefer further, and this outing will bring him on for future races.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Kannemeyer D-2025.01.18. Rested 23 wks. Gelded 2025.02.03. Best MR:90. Back at Howells camp. Watch.

Breeding: William Longsword – Brave Bid by Qui Danzig (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 55.5kg
Draw: 13 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He enjoys racing at Hollywoodbets Scottsville and he is very well in himself. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale is booked to ride the son of William Longsword. The obvious concern is his wide draw and with luck in running, he is capable of finishing in the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:86. The 3rd horse in latest has come out and won since. Include.
