Winning Form selections for racing from Turffontein on Tuesday 30th December where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter @Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge
Race 1
TURN IT UP is the best bet on the programme. He produced a promising debut effort when second over 800m on this course. The son of Querari would have gained from the experience and should love the extra 200m on offer. It must be noted that Heath House has come out and won again since. With the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one to beat.
BUFFALO KING CODY finished 1.75 lengths behind the top choice on debut. He is 2.5kgs worse off at the weights and may battle to turn the form around.
SPIRIT OF GABZ showed good improvement when second over 800m last time. The son of Chimichuri Run is a progressive type and can feature.
Race 2
ELEGANT EDGE finished 0.9 lengths behind DUCHESS ZAHRA on debut. She is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and should turn the form around. The daughter of Pathfork would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she may be the one to beat.
DUCHESS ZAHRA ran a creditable race on debut over this distance on the Vaal Classic course. She would have come on from the outing and should make the expected natural progression.
PRINCESS OF ALL‘S last two starts have been fair. Craig Zackey steps into the saddle and if finding the form of her debut run, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 3
TAKING A RISK has finished second in her last three starts. She stayed on at the finish over 1160m last time, but found one too good in the form of Inspiration. The daughter of Fire Away may be the one to side with.
ROCK MUSIC showed improvement when second over this distance on the Vaal Classic course last time. If confirming that effort, he may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
JAMMY DODGER is an unraced son of Canford Cliffs from the Grant Maroun stable with Philasande Mxoli booked to ride. He is related to three-time winner Ginger Delight. If not in need of the run, he should give a good account of himself. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances.
Race 4
DELAWARE RIVER found one too good in the form of Aquarius over this C&D last time. The cheekpieces have been removed for this outing. She jumps from pole position and may be rewarded for consistency.
WINDS OF GRACE finished 1.9 lengths behind the top choice last time. She is 2.5kgs worse off at the weights today and may battle to turn the form around. She is carded to race on 23 December 2025 and her progress in that race will need to be monitored.
THE REASON showed good improvement when third over 1160m on this course last time. The daughter of Skitt Skizzle should enjoy the rise to 1400m and she may have more to come.
Race 5
TROMBOLINES produced an eye-catching debut effort over 1160m on this course. He raced from a prominent position and tried hard all the way to the line. The son of Querari would have gained from the experience and should love the rise to 1400m. He jumps from pole position and with the natural improvement that is expected, he is the horse to beat.
REECE’S WISH has finished second in both her efforts to date. She drops back to 1400m and with Gavin Lerena retaining the ride, she should pose a threat.
STAY TUNED was running on when third over 1500m on the Inside course last time. He would have strengthened up during his time off the track. He is carded to race on 27 December 2025 and his progress in that race will need to be monitored.
Race 6
PARISIAN WALKWAY is better than his last start in the Grade 1 Betway Summer Cup as he was reported to be not striding out. He has won twice and finished third four times from eight starts over this distance. The son of Ideal World is the best-weighted runner in this contest and can return to winning ways.
SPEEDMAN is unbeaten from two starts to date. He won his last outing easier than the official margin suggests. The son of Vercingetorix faces his toughest test to date, but looks to have class about him and may be up to the task at hand.
SOLAR SAIL’S effort in the Grade 1 Betway Summer Cup is best ignored as the jockey was dislodged at the 300m mark. On best form shown, he should have a say. He is carded to race on 27 December 2025 and his progress in that race will need to be monitored.
Race 7
NAVAJO NATION is better than his last outing in the Grade 1 Betway Summer Cup. He finished third in the Grade 3 Betway Victory Moon Stakes in his penultimate outing. He should have no issues with the rise to 2400m. If putting his best foot forward, he can return to winning ways.
NEBRAAS found one too good in the form of Shoot The Rapids last time. He has won once and finished second three times from five starts over this C&D. He is having his peak run and merits healthy respect.
UNITED COUNCIL finished 1.5 lengths behind the second choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and she may have to settle for the same result.
Race 8
TEXAS MISSILE is a progressive individual and won a good race when shedding his maiden tag over this distance at the Vaal last time. The manner in which he drew clear of the opposition that day was eye- catching. The son of One World takes on stronger, but he has plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand.
ARLINGTON ACTION is better than his last start suggests as he was reported to be fatigued. Two of his eight career victories have come over this C&D. He is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back.
ZIP CODE was doing his best work late when fourth over 1475m at the Vaal last time. The son of Global View tries the 2000m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 9
THE MIGHTIEST was given a peach of a ride when winning her last start over this distance on the Vaal Classic course. She has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. She will be mowing down the frontrunners and can follow up with another victory.
MICHAEL FARADAY showed good signs of a form return when second over 1400m at the Vaal last time. It is encouraging that Gavin Lerena retains the ride and the combination should be involved at the finish.
GOLDEN ASPEN finished 1.4 lengths behind the second choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and she may have to settle for the same result.
Race 10
WAR OF KINGDOMS was doing his best work late when fourth over 1160m on this course last time. The son of Gimmethegreenlight drops in class and jumps from a good draw of two. If not too far out of his ground turning for home, he can go close.
CLEVER TREVOR finished 1.85 lengths behind SPY STORY last time. He is 5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He would have come on from the outing and should strip a much fitter horse.
GUERILLA WARFARE has consistent form lines to his name. He has won once, finished second three times and third once from eight starts on this course. He jumps from pole position and another honest run is expected
