Winning Form selections for all of races from @Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday 15th November where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
SAMUEL BELLAMY produced a promising debut effort over 1200m on this course. He understandably raced green, but the manner in which he finished off his race was encouraging. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He was backed into odds-on which suggests that he was showing good work at home. He would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to beat.
REBEL RIDGE was green on debut but caught the eye in the closing stages. He would have come on from the run and will love the rise to 1400m. With the natural improvement that is expected, he should pose a threat.
BIG DEAL returns from a 15-week break and has changed stables. He brings fair Western Cape form and if taking to this course, he can earn another cheque.
Race 2
QUEEN OF DENMARK should have won her last start over 1400m on the polytrack. The booking of Calvin Habib is a big plus and he is likely to use her early gate speed to overcome the wide draw. If all goes according to plan, she should be hard to peg back.
BLENHEIM PALACE was touched off in her last start over this C&D. If getting away on terms, she should fight out the finish.
REMUNERATION cost herself winning last time as she hung inwards in the final 350m. She finished 1.7 lengths behind the second choice in her penultimate run. The pair meet on the same weight terms and she may have to settle for the same result.
Race 3
BRUH should have finished closer over 1800m last time as he was switched for running room at the 300m mark. The son of Danon Platina takes a big drop in class and with luck in running, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
PIED PIPER tried hard when second over this distance on the polytrack last time, but found one too good in the form of Chasing Gold. He has won once and finished third once from four starts over this C&D. Mickaelle Michel takes the 1.5kgs off his back and should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces.
CHARLIE BUCKET was caught late when third over this distance on the polytrack last time. He will strip a much fitter horse and may be hard to peg back.
Race 4
DAY TWO finished 0.8 lengths behind TOBACCONIST last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough to turn the form around. The combination of Gareth van Zyl and Calvin Habib are in fine form, and merit healthy respect.
LAST OVATION stayed on when fourth over 2000m on this course last time. She finished 2.2 lengths behind TOBACCONIST in her penultimate run. She is 2.5kgs better off at the weights and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
TOBACCONIST never got into the race over 2000m last time. He won his penultimate outing over this C&D. Keagan de Melo steps back into the saddle and the combination will be mowing down the frontrunners.
Race 5
CHESTNUT BOMBER ran a good race when third over this C&D last time. That was his first start for the Tienie Prinsloo stable. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. With luck in running, he may be the one to beat.
NORDIC CHIEF fought hard for his last victory over this C&D. He received a three-pound penalty for that victory. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect.
ZAGREB is a winner of his last two starts over this distance on the polytrack. He finished third in his only attempt over this C&D. He takes on stronger, but is in a good space and merits healthy respect.
Race 6
MISS WORLD is the top bet on the programme. She ran a cracker when third in the Grade 2 Betway Joburg Spring F & M Challenge last time. She has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. The daughter of One World drops back in class and can notch up her fifth-career victory.
ST HARRY ran on powerfully when winning his last start over this distance on the polytrack. He would have come on from the outing and may be the horse to fill the exacta spot.
TROMPE L’OEIL is better than his last start in the Listed TAB Golden Loom Handicap. Both his career victories have come over this distance. He is a horse with ability and on best form shown, he can go close..
Race 7
TUSCAN ROMANCE tried hard when second over 1000m on this course last time, but found one too good in the form of Captain’s Christy. She has won once and finished second four times from six starts over this distance. The daughter of Master Of My Fate is having her peak run and can go one better.
RAGS TO RICHES won a good race over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. She received a four- pound penalty for that victory. She is having her first run around the turn and if not too green, she can go close.
LADY NANCY was an easy winner when shedding her maiden tag over this distance on the polytrack. She takes on stronger, but has ability and should give a good account of herself.
Race 8
FINAL CALL brings good recent Western Cape form with her. She raced wide around the turn over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time, but stayed on at the finish. This is her first run in KwaZulu- Natal and if taking to this course, she should give the males a run for their money.
FRENCH WAR LORD got up late when winning his last start over this C&D. He is a horse with ability and the booking of Craig Zackey is a big plus. From his good draw of three, he can follow up.
DOUBLE CAUSEWAY stayed on when fifth over this distance on the turf last time. He has dropped in the ratings and from pole position, he can improve to finish in the placings
