Hollywoodbets Greyville Polytrack
Race 1 – 12:30
2 – Khuluma Nathi
Breeding: William Longsword – Targaryan by Var (USA)
Trainer: Dean Kannemeyer
Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 2 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
In his first run over 1400m, it was rough in the early stages as he took a bit of a bump which wasn’t in his favour. He is well drawn at two and should have a fair chance in the running of the race. He is expected to make big improvement on his first run and he will be more comfortable over the 1600m. He is doing well and should be right there at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Brother to:DEEP THOUGHT4f(8: 1, 3). Trapped wide on debut. Would have gained from the experience and can improve.
5 – Protea Pride
Breeding: Capetown Noir – Rose North by Northern Guest (USA)
Trainer: Corinne Bestel
Jockey: Donovan Dillon
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 5 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He runs from a good draw of five and has the blinkers re-fitted. In what looks a weaker race, the stable are hopeful he can race handy from his draw and improve to run into the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:70. Moderate latest. Is better with the blinkers and can place.

4 – Iqembulabesifazane
Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Music Pass by Go Deputy (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey:*Kyle Strydom -1.5kg
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 4 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
She has been very disappointing in her races to date compared to her work back home. She tries the poly for the first time, and the stable are hopeful that the change of surface will bring about improvement.
Winning Form Comment: Sister to:RUSH HOUR GIRL7m(23: 4, 8),EVA EILEEN5m(17: 4, 0). Tries a mile. Trainers only runner and can improve.

Race 7 – 16:05
8 – Purple Persuasion
Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Music Pass by Go Deputy (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey:*Jabu Jacobs
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 8 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
She returns from a 73 day break, but has had a solid prep and goes well fresh. Jabu Jacobs retains the ride and with luck in running from an awkward draw, she could be competitive in this field.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 10 wks. Best MR:89. Is held by number 2 on moderate latest. Reunites with Jacobs and can improve.
5 – Maitland Magic
Breeding: What A Winter – Sunset Ridge by Tiger Ridge (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey:*Rachel Venniker -3.5kg
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 5 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He needed his first run back after a break and Rachel Venniker’s valuble claim can only help. He has progressed at home since his last run and is expected to show improvement.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:83. Moderate recent form. In form apprentice rides. Can upset.
9 – Ralph The Rascal
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Ice Link by Toreador (IRE)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Anton Marcus
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 9 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He runs over his preferred trip of 1400m with Anton Marcus in the irons. He always gives of his best and if Marcus can negotiate the poor draw, we expect him to be very competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. Narrow winner in latest over this distance. Marcus takes the ride and can follow up.
