Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Greyville on Saturday 9th May where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
TIGER CODY produced an encouraging debut effort over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He raced from just off the pace and stayed on to finish third. The son of Buffalo Bill Cody would have gained from the experience and should love the rise to 1200m. With the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to beat.
BANGKOK MAGIC is an unraced son of Willow Magic from the Justin Snaith stable with JP van der Merwe in the saddle. He is related to five-time winner Mai Sensation. If not in need of the run, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances.
OMKHULU BOSS is better than his last start as he was reported to be distressed. He returns from an 11-week break, during which time he was gelded. On the form of his penultimate run, he should go close.
Race 2
The betting market will be the best guide with regards to the unraced entrants in this contest. PACIFIC MOOD is an unraced daughter of Malmoos from the Adam Azzie stable with JP van der Merwe in the saddle. She is related to multiple winners including Golden Pacific and Frank Lloyd Wright. If not in need of the outing, she should start her career on a positive note.
PRETTY POSH is a daughter of One World from the Glen Kotzen yard with Chad Little in the saddle. She is related to three-time winner Catch A Penny. If not too green in running, she should give a good account of herself.
TOO FAST TO FIESTA was disappointing in her last start over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. She ran a fair race on debut over 1000m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. The daughter of One World has scope and can improve.
Race 3
HOP HOP SPINNEKOP ran a fair race over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. The daughter of Flower Alley will love the rise to 1600m and if taking to this course, she may be the one to beat.
ANNIE’S SONG showed some signs of needing her last start over 1400m on the polytrack. She gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which may assist her cause. She has cracked a good draw of three and would not be a shock winner.
DANCING IN DEMARK stayed on when third over this distance on the polytrack last time. 2.5kgs claiming Apprentice Dezahn Louw retains the ride. With luck from her awkward barrier position, she should earn another cheque for her patrons.
Race 4
Trainer Justin Snaith holds a strong hand in this Conditions Plate. OKAVANGO set the pace in the Grade 1 HKJC World Pool Premier’s Champions Challenge last time, but found one too good in the form of See It Again. He has won three times and finished third once from five starts over this distance. Mickaelle Michel takes the 1.5kgs off his back, and with racing fitness on his side, he may be hard to peg back.
NOTE TO SELF was doing his best work late when second in the Grade 1 Lucky Fish Cape Derby last time. It must be noted that Wish List has come out and won again since. This outing will bring him on nicely for future races, but he has the class to be competitive.
EIGHT ON EIGHTEEN is better than his last two starts in the Western Cape. The 14-week break may have done him the world of good. He thrives in KwaZulu-Natal and can find a form return.
Race 5
ALLTHEBOYSIVELOVED stayed on when third over this distance at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth last time. She does have a wide draw to overcome, but gets the services of Andrew Fortune who will give her all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
HAPPY FORTUNE won a game race over this distance on the polytrack last time. She has won twice and finished second once from five starts over this C&D. With luck in running, she should throw out a big challenge to the top choice.
LA LANDONNE won a good race in her last start over this distance at Fairview. She received a four-pound penalty for that victory. The daughter of Legislate is in a good space and merits obvious consideration.
Race 6
SERPENTINE FIRE finished 1.7 lengths behind FAST AND FREE last time. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The son of Potala Palace should love the rise to 2000m and from his good draw of four, he can return to winning ways.
FAST AND FREE was outrun late when second over 1900m on this course last time. He found plenty of betting support that day. If confirming his recent improvement, he should be competitive.
JAZZ FESTIVAL has fair recent form lines to his name. The manner in which he finishes off his races suggests that he will love the rise to 2000m. If not too far out of his ground turning for home, he can feature.
Race 7
REGULATION should have finished much closer in the Grade 2 Anthonij Rupert Premier Trophy last time. He returns from a 17-week break which would have done him the world of good. The son of Legislate won his only attempt over this C&D, last year. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from his awkward draw and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
TRUST was touched off in the Grade 1 HKJC World Pool SA Classic last time. The son of Heavenly Blue should have no issues with the rise to 1900m. He is the best-weighted runner in this contest and with luck in running, he can go close.
THE ULTIMATE KING was running on when third in the Grade 2 TAB Colorado King Stakes last time. The blinkers remain fitted and if taking to this course, he should be involved at the finish.
Race 8
UMZINGELI WENYATHI was not beaten far in the Non-Black Type Betway Mythical Flight Sprint last time. The son of Buffalo Bill Cody gets the blinkers re-fitted. Calvin Habib steps into the saddle and if taking to this course, he can notch up his third-career victory.
MISS WORLD was an easy winner of her last start over 1250m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. She is having her first outing for the Adam Azzie stable. If settled into her new surroundings, she should give the males a run for their money.
PLUS FOUR was unlucky not to have won his last start over this distance at Turffontein. Muzi Yeni retains the ride and with luck in running, he should go close.
Race 9
RED BOMBER finished 2.15 lengths behind SUPER FAST last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result. The son of Lancaster Bomber is having his peak run and should be cherry-ripe. He has cracked a good draw of four and can return to winning ways.
SUPER FAST ran a good race when second over this C&D last time. He would have come on from the outing and should strip much fitter. The son of Querari is likely to race on the pace and may be hard to peg back.
MIGHTY ZAMBEZI was an easy winner of his last start over 1000m on this course. The cheekpieces have done the trick on the son of What A Winter. He is in a good space and can follow up with another victory.
Race 10
JP’S PALACE was far from disgraced in the Listed Kings Cup last time. He has won once and finished second twice from four starts over this distance. The son of Potala Palace has been nominated for the Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Durban July, and may be the one to beat here.
WHAT A FORTUNE ran a cracker when third in the Non-Black Type Race Coast Sales Big Cap last time. He has won twice, finished second three times and third once from nine starts over this distance. With luck from his wide draw, he should pose a threat.
AMOR FATI ran a good race when third over 1600m on this course last time. He has won once and finished second twice from four starts over this C&D. His last victory came under Richard Fourie, and the combination merit healthy respect
