Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Greyville on Friday 20th December where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
JEANNE DARC has produced two good runs to date. She was running on when third over this C&D last time. The daughter of William Longsword is a progressive type and if not too far out of her ground turning for home, she should find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
JUMPTHEGREENLIGHT finished 0.5 lengths behind the top selection on debut. She faltered at the 1000m mark that day and stayed on at the finish. She would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should pose a massive threat.
PRINCESS GOLDIE is better than her last start on the polytrack. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should be competitive.
Race 2
This is a weak Maiden Plate and caution is advised. The tentative first selection is SANTIAGO‘S PRIDE from the Weiho Marwing stable. He was his own worst enemy over 1800m last time as he over raced in the early stages. His penultimate run when second over 2000m at the Vaal, catches the eye. The blinkers have been removed and if Kaidan Brewer is able to switch him off early, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
FORTUNE HUNTER raced wide around the turn on the polytrack last time and faded badly. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He will enjoy the return to the turf and can show improvement.
STAR MAN‘S last two starts have been fair. The son of Futura is bred to enjoy the rise to 2300m and if this run has not come too soon, he should improve to finish in the placings.
Race 3
GALE FORCE NINE showed good improvement when second in her last start over this distance on the polytrack. She raced from a handy position, but found one too good in the form of Arctic Fury. If taking to the turf, she can go one better.
LADY MY LADY showed massive improvement in her local debut over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. The daughter of Silvano will love the rise to 1800m and she should strip much fitter. If confirming her recent improvement, she should go close.
SHEEZAROCKET was not beaten far in her last start over 1400m on this course. It must be noted that the horse that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. With a bit of luck in running, she may be the one to cause the upset.
Race 4
WORLD OF OUR OWN has produced three good runs to date. He was unlucky not to have won his last start over this C&D. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The son of One World is coming along the right way. Gavin Lerena rides and with luck in running, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
UZWANO stayed on when second over this distance on the polytrack last time. His penultimate run when second over 1400m on this course, catches the eye. He will love the return to the turf and if jumping on terms, he should be one of the leading contenders.
GREEN MILE was a tad disappointing in his last start at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He finished second in his penultimate run over 1400m on this course. If finding the form of that run, he should go close to winning.
Race 5
CATS PAJAMAS is better than his last start in the Grade 3 New Turf Carriers Merchants. He has won twice and finished third once from four starts on this course. The son of Rafeef should have no issues with the drop to 1000m. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and from his good draw of two, he can return to winning ways.
CHOCOLATE SOLDIER stayed on when third over this distance at the Vaal last time. He has won three times, finished second twice and third once from seven starts over this trip. Should the to choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces.
LUNARCAM is better than his last start in the Listed Allied Steelrode Golden Loom Handicap. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He has finished second twice from as many starts over this C&D. He is likely to race on the speed and merits healthy respect.
Race 6
TEATIME TIPPLE‘S last three starts have been fair. He stayed on when fourth over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. He has finished second in both his efforts over this C&D. The son of Var gets the blinkers fitted which should keep his mind on the task at hand. With a bit of luck in running, he can notch up his second-career victory.
WHISPERS OF WAR has fair recent form lines to his name. He gets the blinkers fitted and if all went well with his travels, he should be involved in the fight to the finish.
KIMBALL O’HARA ran a good race when third over 1600m on this course last time. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. He is having his peak run today and should be competitive.
Race 7
PERILLA has very good consistent form lines to her credit. She was running on when third in the Non- Black Type River Indigo Handicap last time. She has won twice and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. The daughter of Erupt jumps from pole position and she should give the males a run for their money.
QUEUE WING should have finished closer to the winner last time. Five of his seven career victories have come on this course. With a bit of luck in running, he should go close to winning.
AFRICAN SKYLINE is better than his last start over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He has won twice and finished second twice from as many starts over this distance. If jumping on terms, he should be involved at the finish.
Race 8
COLORADO CREEK stayed on when fifth over 1200m on this course last time. She returns from a 10-week break which may have done her the world of good. The daughter of The United States should be ideally suited to this distance. She takes a drop in class and if not in need of the run, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
PURPLE FLOWER was an easy winner of her last start over this trip on the polytrack. She received a five-pound penalty for that victory. She is better suited to the polytrack, but is in a good space and merits healthy respect.
EDGE OF TOMORROW is better than her last start over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. She finished second in her penultimate run on this course. If finding the form of that outing, she can show
