Hollywood Racing has four runners carded at Turffontein Standside on Saturday, 1 March 2025. See what we are expecting here.
Saturday, 1 March 2025
Turffontein Standside
Race 7 – 15:35
1800m – TAB SA Classic (Grade 1)
10 – Busstopinhounslow
Breeding: New Predator (AUS) – Penny Serenade by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Grant Maroun
Jockey: Ryan Munger
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 10 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He was an impressive winner of his last start over 1600m on this course. The obvious concern is that he is drawn wide in barrier 10. The stable are very happy with the horse and he is extremely well. In-form Jockey Ryan Munger retains the ride and with luck in running, he is expected to go close.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2024.09.17. Best MR:95. Cruised in last time under Munger. Is taking on stronger.

Race 8 – 16:10
1600m – Wilgerbosdrift H F Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes (Grade 1)
4 – Imilenzeyokududuma
Breeding: Dynasty – Chevauchee (AUS) by High Chaparral (IRE)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Raymond Danielson
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 8 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
He needed his last outing over 1500m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville and has come through that run well. He is in a good space and the stable are happy with him. He is an older horse who should travel well up to the Highveld. It is a competitive Grade 1 contest and we are hoping to see him involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:114. Faces much stronger. Danielson rides and can place.

Race 9 – 16:45
1000m – TAB JJ The Jet Plane Stakes (Grade 3)
16 – Dontshootthebarman
Breeding: Visionaire (USA) – Aquila Jet by Jet Master
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Jarryd Penny
Wgt: 50.0kg
Draw: 1 (16 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
He is in good form heading into this race. The son of Visionaire takes a big step up in class and it is a very strong field. He carries a light mass of 50kgs, and we are hoping for a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:92. Good last two runs over this C&D. Jumps in class.

Race 10 – 17:20
1160m – Wilgerbosdrift Maiden Plate
2 – Amandla Ngawethu
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Cape Floral by Fort Wood (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Andrew Fortune
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 6 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
He has returned to Gauteng after having three runs in the Western Cape. He is doing well at home and gets the services of Andrew Fortune. The stable feels that he will be at his best over further which is the biggest concern. The son of Rafeef is expected to have an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Fair last two starts in the Cape. Can threaten.
