Winning Form selections for all of races from Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday 26th July where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
ISIVIVANE was far from disgraced when fifth in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Durban July last time. He raced from a handy position and stayed on at the business end. He has won once and finished second once from three starts over this distance. Jockey Sean Veale is likely to use his early gate speed to overcome the awkward draw and he may be hard to peg back.
ZEITZ finished 3.2 lengths behind the top selection last time. He drops back to the mile and the blinkers are re-fitted. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
TALK TO THE MASTER won a game race in the Listed Premier Gateway International Thukela Handicap last time. He received a three- pound penalty for that victory. The son of Master Of My Fate should get a good run in transit from pole position and merits healthy respect.
Race 2
PALACE OF ARVERNIA is one of the better bets on the programme. She showed a good turn of foot when victorious in the Grade 2 Amusnet Golden Slipper last time. The daughter of Vercingetorix won on debut over this C&D. She is the class horse in the race and should take a power of beating.
OCEAN MISTRESS finished 2.55 lengths behind the top selection last time. She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result.
FERRARI FLAIR finished 3.25 lengths behind the top choice in the race referred to above. She is 2.5kgs better off at the weights. Richard Fourie is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
Race 3
GIMME SOME LUCK has caught the eye in all three victories to date. He showed a good turn of foot to win over 1160m at Turffontein last time. The son of Gimmethegreenlight faces his toughest test to date and if taking to this course, he should be up to the task at hand.
U S RANGER hails from the visiting Alan Greeff stable. He was super-impressive when winning the Listed TAB Dahlia Plate over this distance last time. He would have come on from the outing and if all went well with his travels, he should fight out the finish.
ST HARRY showed signs of needing his comeback run in the Grade 2 Omoda Golden Horseshoe last time. He would have come on from the outing and should strip much fitter. The son of Harry Angel has class about him and should have improvement to come.
Race 4
ALICE B TOKLAS is the top bet on the programme. She should have finished closer to the winner in the Grade 2 Amusnet Golden Slipper last time as she had no luck in the straight. The daughter of Master Of My Fate will love the rise to 1600m. She should get a good run in transit from Barrier Three and if all goes according to plan, she should find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
ROYAL TIARA was a tad disappointing in the race referred to above. The daughter of Rafeef is much better than that effort and on the form of her penultimate run, she may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
WITHIN REACH was given a peach of a ride when winning her last start over 1400m at Turffontein. The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she will love the rise to the mile. If taking to this course, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 5
SECRETARY BIRD ran a cracker when 0.65 lengths behind VIBE CHECK in the Grade 2 Omoda Golden Horseshoe last time. She was hampered leaving the starting stalls but the manner in which she finished off her race was eye-catching. She is 1kg better off at the weights today. Callan Murray does duty from a good draw of four and can notch up her third-career victory.
GREEN ENERGY lost a length leaving the start last time, but finished off his race strongly. He finished 0.4 lengths behind VIBE CHECK that day. If getting away on terms, he can turn the form around.
VIBE CHECK was given a peach of a ride when winning the Grade 2 Omoda Golden Horseshoe last time. He is a natural frontrunner and if seeing out the extra 200m on offer, he may be hard to peg back
Race 6
QUESTIONING is a winner of his last four starts, the latest of which was in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge. He won the Grade 2 Khaya Stables Diadem Stakes over this distance, four runs ago. The son of Querari is versatile and is in great form. He does have a wide draw to overcome, but Richard Fourie knows him well and should give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
BUFFALO STORM CODY finished 0.5 lengths behind JET FORCE last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and should turn the form around. He won this race last year and will be looking to defend his title.
TENANGO was unlucky not to have won the Grade 3 Post Merchants last time. He is also 2kgs better off at the weights with JET FORCE on that run. He is having his peak run and with luck in running, he should be competitive.
Race 7
AHEAD OF THE FACTS has had the perfect preparation heading into this race. He won a game race in the Grade 3 Durban Gold Vase over 3000m last time. The manner in which he finishes off his races suggests that he should not have any issues with the rise to 3200m. Richard Fourie retains the ride and the combination can follow up with another victory. KING PELLES ran a cracker when third in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Durban July last time. The booking of Lyle Hewitson from Hong Kong is encouraging. He won this race last year and can defend his title.
NATIVE RULER finished 2.35 lengths behind the second selection last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today. Keagan de Melo retains the ride and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
MASTER REDOUTE won this race two years ago. He finished 0.5 lengths behind the top choice last time. He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today which is enough to turn the form around.
Race 8
THE REAL PRINCE stayed on at the finish when fourth in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge last time. He was unlucky not to have won this race last year. The Dean Kannemeyer stable will have him at his peak for this outing. He is drawn in pole position and with luck in running, he may be the one to beat.
SEE IT AGAIN is better than his last start in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge as he was reported to be not striding out. He finished third in this race last year. He is a classy individual and on previous form, he should be competitive.
GLADATORIAN stayed on at the finish in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Durban July last time. It is encouraging that regular pilot Sean Veale steps back into the saddle. The combination won this race last year and will be looking to defend their title.
Race 9
ANOTHERDANCEFORME hails from the visiting Alan Greeff stable. She has had the perfect preparation for this race and comes off a victory in the Listed East Cape Paddock Stakes. The daughter of Master Of My Fate has won on this course previously. She is a filly loaded with class and if all went well with her travels, she should be the one to beat.
MINOGUE did not settle in the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Durban July last time. She ran a cracker when beaten a short-head in the Grade 2 Lucky Fish Woolavington 2000 in her penultimate effort. Gavin Lerena retains the ride and if switching off early from pole position, she should pose a threat.
BEACH VERSE finished 2.9 lengths behind the second selection last time. She is 0.5kgs worse off at the weights today and may have to settle for the same result.
Race 10
Trainer Clinton Binda holds a strong hand in this contest and he can saddle the first two past the post. CHAPBOOK produced a strong finish when second over 1160m at Turffontein last time. He finished 1.6 lengths behind KAALVOET, four runs ago. He is 4.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough to turn the form around. His last victory came under Gavin Lerena and the combination should go close.
KAALVOET is better than his last start in the Grade 3 Post Merchants. Two of his three career victories have come over this distance. On his previous form, he should pose a massive threat.
LION RAMPART finished 1.6 lengths behind AFRICAN PRIDE last time. He is 4kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough to turn the form around. The son of One World may be the one to cause the surprise
