Sunday, 8 February 2026
Hollywoodbets Scottsville
Race 4 – 13:15
1200m – Gallop Form Maiden Plate (F & M)
14 – Siyabambelela
Breeding: Querari (GER) – Julie Doolittle by Horse Chestnut
Trainer: Stuart Ferrie
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 14 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She may not have seen out the 1400m last time. Her debut effort over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Greyville was eye-catching. The daughter of Querari may be at her best over this distance at this stage of her career. She is looking well, and we are expecting a good run.
Winning Form Comment: Sister to: DR DOOLITTLE8g(15: 4, 4). Two decent runs. Drops back in trip and can show.

Race 5 – 13:50
1400m – Live It. Love It. Own It. www.racecoast.co.za Open Maiden
2 – Taste The Rainbow – SCRATCHED (Abnormal Blood Count – Vet Certificate)
Breeding: Skitt Skizzle – Celebration by Kahal (GB)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 2 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
His last run over 2000m on the polytrack was very disappointing. He stumbled leaving the starting stalls and was reported to be not striding out that day. He will enjoy the return to the turf and jumps from a good draw of two. We can expect big improvement from him.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:75. Ignore last start. Is still lightly raced and could improve to take a place.

Race 6 – 14:25
1750m – Bet With Tote www.tote.co.za Progress Plate (3-year-olds)
2 – Gotta Go Eddie
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Carmalita (AUS) by Commands (AUS)
Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Callan Murray
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 2 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He tried hard when second over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. The son of Gimmethegreenlight is doing very well at home. At the weights, it will be difficult to beat Bruh and fellow Hollywood Racing Runner Salani Kahle. He always gives of his best and should be right there at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:93. Just pipped in latest. Master Du Rouvray went close next time.

1750m – Bet With Tote www.tote.co.za Progress Plate (3-year-olds)
7 – Take No Prisoners
Breeding: Vercingetorix – Takingthepeace by Visionaire (USA)
Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 7 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He returns from a 10-week break and is having his first run in KwaZulu-Natal. The stable has opted to remove all the headgear and start fresh with him. He is likely to need this run, and the outing will bring him on for future races.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 10 wks. Gelded 2025.09.03. Blinkers OFF. Best MR:87. Had excuses in latest. Needs to repeat penultimate run.

9 – Salani Kahle
Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Insignis by Go Deputy (USA)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 9 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 16/10
He followed up his maiden win with an impressive victory over 1800m on the polytrack. The son of Master Of My Fate is very well in himself and is a fit horse. He has had good preparation, and we are hoping to see him bring up the hat-trick.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:97. Won last two starts with a ton in hand. Is clearly on the upgrade.

Race 7 – 15:00
1750m – Lucky Fish Winning Streak Class 4
6 – Mike’s Mazarin
Breeding: Futura – San Trip by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 6 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He has been battling to find his best form and continues to drop in the ratings. The son of Futura won his only attempt over this course and distance. His work has been faultless, and if putting his best foot forward, he can finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Gelded 2025.02.03. Best MR:90. Needed last two starts and can improve.

Race 8 – 15:35
1950m – umThombothi Stakes (Non-Black Type)
4 – Isivivane
Breeding: Erupt (IRE) – Rodeo Sioux by Casey Tibbs (IRE)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 4 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He was victorious in his last start over 1600m on the polytrack. The son of Erupt steps up to 1950m for the first time. He is in very good order and his work heading into this contest has been pleasing. He has work to do at the weights, but we can expect an honest effort from him.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:98. Fought on well for latest win and the form line has been franked.

Trainer: Siboniso Ngcobo
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 55.0kg
Draw: 5 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He meets a small but competitive field in the Non-Black Type umThombothi Stakes. The son of Rafeef is working very well at home. Craig Zackey is booked to ride, and we are hoping for a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:94. Two-time winner from 4 starts over this C&D.

Race 10 – 16:50
1200m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 4 (F & M)
12 – Tladi Mothwana
Breeding: Buffalo Bill Cody (IRE) – Lizzie Arden by Right Approach (GB)
Trainer: Wengesai Masawi
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 12 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She was far from disgraced against stronger over 1400m on the polytrack last time. She has shown improvement since that outing and this is the right type of race for her. She carries 61kgs but if all goes according to plan, she is expected to finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Followed up debut win with a creditable effort and the form line has been franked. Winning chance.
