Race 1
Race Summary: MASTER DU ROUVRAY had things go wrong and was beaten only 0.40 lengths. He can open his account after finishing runner-up on the last two occasions. Watch out for NEXT OF KIN who has disappointed but has now been gelded. He could come out firing. BOURBON'S BEAST is still learning what it is all about and could show more over the longer trip. BINGELELAMZALWANE has also been improving with each start. He has drawn well and should have every chance.
Selections:
#9 Master Du Rouvray, #7 Next Of Kin, #3 Bourbon's Beast, #1 Bingelelamzalwane
Race 2
Race Summary: CURIOUS GIRL caught the eye in her debut outing. She is bred for ground and should improve over the extra. ECHO disappointed a little last time. She went closest the only time she raced at Hollywoodbets Greyville and must be respected. TERMINAL VELOCITY came in for betting support but didn't get the timing right last time. She is worth another chance. Overdue INTRO and CALL ME HARRIET have had their chances but must be not left out of Trifectas and Quartets.
Selections:
#2 Curious Girl, #4 Echo, #7 Terminal Velocity, #9 Intro
Race 3
Race Summary: FAIZAH, PRINCESS PALACE and HOT STRIKE renew rivalry. FAIZAH can make amends after finishing runner-up last time. She has the best of the draws. But HOT STRIKE is 2.5kg better off for a 2.30-length defeat with FAIZAH and rates a big threat even if drawn widest. PRINCESS PALACE is knocking at the door and needs to find a little more to challenge for top honours. Highveld raider ART NOUVEAU can't be faulted either and could add to her tally. QUEEN AMINA is a lot better than last performance.
Selections:
#2 Faizah, #9 Hot Strike, #5 Art Nouveau, #4 Princess Palace
Race 4
Race Summary: CONNOISSEUR got his confidence boosted with an easy win when fitted with cheekpieces last time. He has yet to win at this venue but this could be his day. PONGOLA is best at Greyville and having drawn well should test this field. The extended trip may suit him too. If RODRIGUEZ breaks on terms he could be dangerous. He came in for betting support in his last two starts. GLOBAL MOVEMENT could get rewarded as he is fairly consistent but a wide draw may make it tough. MOHANDAS showed a few starts back and rates a value option from a decent draw.
Selections:
#8 Connoisseur, #2 Pongola, #10 Rodriguez, #12 Global Movement
Race 5
Race Summary: SIESTA SUNSET just missed out on the win after gaining nicely at the wire over the course and distance last time. She can make amends. MILLION VOICES wasn't far off the former and is weighted to turn the form around. But she is returning from a break. VISION TO ACHIEVE is in hot form, having won three of her last four starts. She is loving the competition but has gone up in ratings and weights. FAITHFUL NEO brings fair Highveld form into the contest and could be up to the task. Lightly raced CLICKBAIT is worth a look too.
Selections:
#3 Siesta Sunset, #5 Million Voices, #1 Vision To Achieve, #7 Faithful Neo
Race 6
Race Summary: Gimmethegreenlight filly INFINITY EDGE was an eye-catching fourth in the Grade 2 Debutante and finds herself best weighted but is running in open company. She, nevertheless, has a big chance. FORWARD MOTION has strong form. She appeared unlucky not to get up and beat male Dawn Till Dusk and must have a big say with a 4kg apprentice claim. SOVEREIGN GRANT and WARRIOR ROYALE were a bit disappointing last time and can improve but third stablemate MAGICAL VIEW has a 2.5kg apprentice claim and could also be dangerous.
Selections:
#8 Infinity Edge, #2 Forward Motion, #6 Sovereign Grant, #5 Warrior Royale
Race 7
Race Summary: THE MASK may finally get it right and score his second career win. He has run two good races in a row and should appreciate the hike in distance. GORGEOUS DUDE has plenty going for him. He is in good form, enjoys the track and trip and can get away jumping from gate No 1. FIRELIGHTER hasn't done badly from slightly wide barrier positions. He has a decent draw and must be included. SAIL TO THE MOON is steadily getting there. If he can handle the drop in trip he could be a threat. KAAPSE KLOPSE met some high-class sorts earlier - watch out.
Selections:
#7 The Mask, #1 Gorgeous Dude, #3 Firelighter, #9 Kaapse Klopse
Race 8
Race Summary: PHAKA IMALI is back at one of his favourite tracks and he jumps from the best of the draws. He could be in the right place at the right time. LAKE COMO also enjoys the course and distance but he is back from a rest. IN THE BAG showed potential on his track debut two starts back and held form at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. LIONS EYE gives the impression he would relish the 1400m. He is also holding form and must be included in all bets. ULTRA QUICK suddenly bolted in when racing from the front and is looking to follow up. More can upset.
Selections:
#4 In The Bag, #5 Lions Eye, #1 Phaka Imali, #11 Ultra Quick
Race 9
Race Summary: Another tough handicap. LUCKY DOLLAR is going for three wins on the bounce but has yet to win at this course. He could get his turn. THE GLIDING FISH won the last time he raced over the distance and must be in with a shout. SUPER FAST is looking to go one better after finishing runner-up in his last four starts. The distance could stretch him. VOLDEMORT, on the other hand, may enjoy a decent pace and could get back to winning ways. He is in fair form. KIMBALL O'HARA and DAPPER did little wrong in their last starts and must be respected. More with claims.
Selections:
#4 The Gliding Fish, #8 Voldemort, #6 Kimball O'Hara, #5 Lucky Dollar
Best Win: #2 CURIOUS GIRL
Best Value Bet: #4 IN THE BAG
Best Longshot: #4 IN THE BAG
