Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Greyville on Thursday 26th December where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge

Race 1

LITTLE CRACKER ran a fair race when fourth over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The son of Oratorio is a progressive type and should enjoy the rise to 1200m. From his good draw of two, he may be the one to side with.

THE GOLDEN GOAL‘S last two starts over this C&D have been good. He should have finished closer to the winner last time. Rachel Venniker retains the ride and with a bit of luck in running, he should fight out the finish.

FIRE TIGER is an unraced son of Soqrat from the Frank Robinson stable with Sean Veale in the saddle. He is related to five-time winner Time To Roll. If not too green, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regard to his chances.

Race 2

HOT PEARL ran a good race when second over this distance last time. She was unlucky not to have won that day. She has won once and finished third once from five starts over this C&D. If confirming her recent improvement, she should find herself in the winner’s enclosure.

WAR EMPRESS rallied late when second over this distance on the polytrack last time. She finished 1.9 lengths behind the top choice in her penultimate run. She is 0.5kgs worse off at the weights today and may have to settle for the same result.

CAPTAIN‘S CHRISTY finished 3.7 lengths behind the top selection in the race referred to above. The pair meet on the same weight terms and she may battle to turn the tables. She has finished second twice and third twice from as many starts on this course.

Race 3

ZALTA STAR should have won her last start over this distance on the polytrack. She had to be eased at the 200m mark and cast a shoe in running. The daughter of Canford Cliffs finished third in her penultimate run on this course. She jumps from a good draw of three and with a bit of luck in running, she can go one better.

LONG STREET finished 1.1 lengths behind the top choice last time. She is 1kg better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result.

ROY‘S GRACE has finished third in her last two starts over 1000m. The daughter of Time Thief should enjoy the rise to 1400m. She is a progressive type and would not be a shock winner.

Race 4

JOHNNY THE THIEF is a winner of his last two starts, the latest of which was over 2000m on this course. The son of Time Thief should have no issues with the rise to 2300m. He is in a good space and can bring up the hat-trick.

QUANTIFIER ran a good race when third over 2400m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. He finished second in his only attempt over this C&D. He jumps from pole position and if confirming his recent improvement, he should pose a threat.

THE MIKADO finished 3.3 lengths behind the second selection last time. He is 1.5kgs worse off at the weights today and may have to settle for the same result.

Race 5

MOUNTAINSOFTHEMOON has fair recent form lines to her credit. The daughter of Pathfork has dropped to a competitive rating. She has cracked a good draw and should have no issues with the rise to 1900m. Deryl Daniels retains the ride and she may be the one to cause the upset.

GREENLITEALLTHEWAY has run three good races since winning her maiden over 1600m on this course. The manner in which she finishes off her races suggests that she will love the rise to 1900m. She carries a handy galloping mass of 52kgs and should pose a massive threat.

WAY TO BURN finished 0.8 lengths behind the second choice last time. She is 0.5kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating them at the finish.

Race 6

CELTIC BEAUTY ran a good race when third over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. She gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which should keep her mind on the task at hand. She jumps from a good draw of two and may be the one to beat.

MARY‘S GREENLIGHT ran on well when fourth in the Listed World Pool With tabGOLD Darley Arabian last time. She returns from a 22-week break and makes her seasonal debut. Three of her four career victories have come over this distance. With a bit of luck from the widest draw, she should go close.

SAFE AND SOUND is a winner of her last two starts over this distance. The daughter of Querari faces her toughest test but she is progressing with each run, and can bring up the hat-trick.

Race 7

MEXICAN PETE produced an encouraging run when fifth over 1200m on this course last time. He lost a length leaving the start and finished off his race strongly. Two of his three career victories have come over this distance. He will strip a much fitter horse and with just 54kgs on his back, he can bring up his fourth-career victory.

IMILENZEYOKUDUDUMA was in need of his last start over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He has won twice, finished second once and third once from seven starts over this distance. He will strip a much fitter horse today and is one of the leading contenders.

FORMAGEAR is better than his last start over 1200m. Two of his six career victories have come over this C&D. With a bit of luck in running, he can finish in the money. 

Race 8

JAHAM met a competitive field in the Non-Black Type Model Man Mile last time. He ran a good race when second in his penultimate outing over 1900m on the polytrack. The son of Kingman has been gelded which may have done the trick. He has plenty of scope and if fit, he should be hard to peg back.

FRENCH TRIP has good consistent form lines to his credit. He stayed on strongly when second over 1900m on this course last time. It must be noted that Johnny The Thief has come out and won again since. Should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces.

JAZZ FESTIVAL won a game race in his last start over this C&D. He received a three-pound penalty for that victory. He is drawn widest of all, but is likely to be settled near the rear of the field and will be mowing down the frontrunners
