Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday 29th September where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
HAPPY FORTUNE produced an encouraging debut effort over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. She raced from just off the pace but found one too good in the form of The Ghost. She would have gained from the experience and if not too green around the turn, she should find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
YELLOW JACKET should have finished closer to the winner last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. She has cracked pole position and should be hard to peg back.
PANTHERA UNCIA finished 0.1 lengths behind the top choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and there should not be much separating them at the finish.
Race 2
ARTIST’S MODEL showed good improvement when second in his last start over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He finished strongly but found one too good in the form of Actor. He is a progressive type and with Muzi Yeni retaining the ride, he should be the one to beat.
DAPPER has good form lines to his credit. He returns from a 10-week break, during which time he was gelded. If not in need of this outing, he should throw out a big challenge to the top choice.
HOODWINKED was in need of his comeback run over 1200m on this course. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. He will love the rise to the mile and should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 3
OUR LADY FATE is better than her last start as her tongue was over the bit in running. Her penultimate run when fifth over 1200m catches the eye. She should be at home over this distance and in this field, she may be the one to side with.
SYRIAN STEEL fought hard in her last start over 1900m on the polytrack, but found one too good in the form of Sacred Lily. If repeating that effort on the turf, she should be competitive.
WALKIE TALKIE finished 2.4 lengths behind the second selection last time. She is 2kgs better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result.
Race 4
RED WILLIAM set the pace over 1950m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time and stayed on to finish fourth. He tries the 2300m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he can notch up his third-career victory.
FRENCH TRIP followed up his maiden victory with a good second-place finish over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He set the pace that day before getting outrun late by View Of The World. He has cracked a good draw of three and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he should go close.
BLACKBERRY BREEZE is having his first run for the Alyson Wright stable. It must be noted that the horse that finished third in his last outing has come out and won since. If settled into his new surroundings, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 5
CATS PAJAMAS won a good race in the Grade 2 @Worldpool Twitter Umkhomazi Stakes last time. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. He is the best-weighted runner in this contest and should start the new season on a winning note.
BUFFALO STORM CODY was running on when second over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course last time. He finished 3.95 lengths behind the top choice in his penultimate run. He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result.
COLD SHINE stayed on nicely when fifth over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. He would have come on from the run and should be involved at the finish.
Race 6
PRITTI VICTORY fought hard in her last start over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville, but found one too good in the form of War Empress. She returns from an 11-week break which would have done her the world of good. She won her only attempt over this C&D and if fit, she should be the one to beat.
CAPTAIN’S CHRISTY was in need of her comeback run over 1000m. She has finished second twice and third once from as many starts on this course. She will strip a much fitter horse today and is one of the leading contenders.
RUSSIAN DOLL has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. She has won twice from three starts over this distance. The 5yo mare will be mowing down the frontrunners.
Race 7
PETIT VERDOT was her own worst enemy over a mile on the Polytrack last time. She finished 0.5 lengths behind ESCAPOLOGIST in her penultimate effort. She is 1kg better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. Siphesihle Hlengwa steps back into the saddle and she can return to winning ways.
ESCAPOLOGIST was given a peach of a ride when winning her last start over 2000m on this course. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. She meets a similar line-up this afternoon and with luck, she can follow up.
OFF LIMITS raced wide around the turn on the Polytrack last time, but stayed on to finish fourth. She has dropped in the ratings and should return to best form.
Race 8
SHOTGUN WILLIE was running on when second over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. He won his only attempt over this C&D. He does have an awkward draw of eight to contend with, but Serino Moodley knows him well and he should give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
INGQWELE followed up his maiden victory with a creditable sixth-place finish over this distance. He returns from an 11-week break, during which time he was gelded. Muzi Yeni steps back into the saddle and if suited to this course, he should be competitive.
PONGOLA was unlucky not to have won last time. He has won twice and finished third three times from eight starts on this course. The 5yo gelding will strip much fitter and if keeping on a straight line, he can return to winning ways
