Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Greyville on Friday 27th February where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
BELLIGERENT ran a good race when third over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. She showed speed and stayed on at the finish. The daughter of Willow Magic is having her peak run and should be cherry-ripe. She is back against her own sex and if taking to the polytrack, she can shed her maiden tag.
WINTER BLESSING has consistent form lines to her name. She finished second on this course, three runs ago. Should the top choice fluff her lines, she may be the one to pick up the pieces.
WINTER BELLE finished 1.1 lengths behind the second choice last time. She is 1kg worse off at the weights today and may have to settle for the same result.
Race 2
CAPTAIN’S DYNASTY finished 0.05 lengths behind BLACK PLATINA last time. He is 6kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The son of Captain Of All should enjoy the rise to 1800m and if switching off early, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
DREAM DECISION received a bump leaving the start last time, but stayed on to finish second. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. She carries a handy galloping mass and should give the males a run for their money.
BLACK PLATINA has finished second in his last three starts. He finished third in his only attempt over this C&D. Calvin Habib takes the ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
Race 3
ETZEBETH is the top bet on the programme. He has produced two good runs to date. The son of Erik The Red got going too late over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. He will love the rise to 1800m and if taking to the polytrack, he should take a power of beating.
WANDER SKITT ran a fair race over 1500m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. The son of Skitt Skizzle may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
SEAFARER has been disappointing in his last three starts. His best career effort came over this distance. If putting his best foot forward, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 4
HARUN AL RASHID is better than his last start over 1500m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville as he raced wide around the turn. He has won once and finished third once from as many starts over this distance. On his previous form, he may be the one to beat.
TEE DOG followed up his maiden win with a good victory over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. It must be noted that multiple horses from his last form line have come out and won since. He is in a good space and can notch up the hat-trick.
MOHAVE PRINCE won a good race over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. He finished 3.35 lengths behind the second choice in his penultimate run. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights and should finish closer as a result.
Race 5
ROYAL SWORD set the pace over 1750m last time and did not go on with the effort. The son of William Longsword won his maiden over this distance. Rachel Venniker takes the 1.5kgs off his back which will assist his cause. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he may be the one to beat.
WINTER WAVES should have finished closer to the winner last time. He finished 1.1 lengths behind IBUTHO in his penultimate outing. He is 3kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned.
IBUTHO won a good race over this C&D last time. He received a four-pound penalty for that victory. The 8yo gelding is in a good space and merits healthy respect.
Race 6
WINTER RAINFALL ran a fair race over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The daughter of What A Winter drops back in class and if seeing out the 1400m, she can return to winning ways.
DE VLUGGE was given a peach of a ride when winning her last start over this C&D. She received a four-pound penalty for that victory. Keagan de Melo retains the ride and the combination merit healthy respect.
QHAWEKAZI finished 1.7 lengths behind the second selection last time. She is 2kgs better off at the weights and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
Race 7
UNITED NATION lacked extra late when fifth over this C&D last time. It must be noted that Good Traveller has come out and won again since. The son of One World takes a drop back in class and on previous form, he should take a power of beating.
SMORGASBORD was given a peach of a ride when winning his last start over this distance on the turf. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. The 7-year-old gelding will be mowing down the frontrunners at the finish.
CHARA SANDS finished 0.5 lengths behind the second selection last time. He is 2.5kgs worse off at the weights this evening and may battle to turn the form around
Race 8
INDECENT PROPOSAL finished 0.2 lengths behind ULTRA QUICK last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has cracked a good draw of two and if not too far out of his ground turning for home, he can notch up his third-career victory.
PROFESSOR LUPIN ran on well when winning his last start over 1400m on this course. He has won twice, finished second once and third once from five starts over this C&D. The 5yo gelding is in a good space and should pose a massive threat.
ULTRA QUICK rallied late when third over this C&D last time. With a bit of luck from his awkward draw of nine, he should earn another cheque for his patrons
