Winning Form selections for racing from Turffontein on Saturday 14th November where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter @Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge
Race 1
GOLDEN WARRIOR ran on from last when victorious over 2400m on the Standside course last time. He received a three-pound penalty for that victory. He steps up to 2600m and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he can follow up.
NUCLEAR FORCE ran a good race when second over this C&D last time. He lost a length leaving the start and finished off his race well. He is having his peak run and should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces.
EUPHRATES finished 8.55 lengths behind the top choice last time. His three efforts prior to that outing were fair. If putting his best foot forward, he would not be a shock winner.
Race 2
FROM WINTER was an impressive winner on debut over 1160m on the Standside course. Despite a slow start, he showed a good turn of foot and won with a ton in hand. He does take on stronger, but could be anything and can remain unbeaten.
CONTINENTAL KING stayed on when fourth over this C&D last time. It must be noted that the second and third horse from that form line have come out and won since. He is having his peak run and should pose a massive threat.
WINTER IN AUCKLAND has good recent form to her name. She won her penultimate outing over this C&D. With luck in running, she should give the males a run for their money.
Race 3
COOL GAMBLER followed up his maiden victory with a good third-place finish over 1200m at TAB Vaal. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He will love the rise to 1450m and with luck in running, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
SKITT SMILING was doing his best work late when fourth over 1600m on the TAB Vaal Classic course last time. He won his maiden over this C&D. He is a horse with scope and should be competitive.
MAJOR ARCANA found one too good in the form of Willow Charm last time. He has won once and finished second twice from four starts on this track. He is having his peak run and should go close.
Race 4
ALITTLEBITOFLOVE ran a good race when second over 1600m on this course last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. She is a progressive type and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she can go one better.
SCENTED ALLEY tried hard when third over 1450m on this course last time. She should love the rise to 1700m and with a bit of luck in running, she should be involved.
POLLY PLUMMER set the pace over 1800m on the TAB Vaal Classic course last time, but found one too good in the form of Tu Giusto. Calvin Habib is likely to use her early gate speed to overcome the awkward draw and she may be hard to peg back.
Race 5
CELTIC MANOR fought hard to win her maiden over 1450m on this course. It must be noted that the second and third horse from that form line have come out and won since. She does take on stronger, but has plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand.
WORLD ORDER stayed on when fourth over 1600m on the TAB Vaal Classic course last time. He has dropped to a competitive rating and with the services of a 2.5kgs claiming Apprentice, he can go close.
MIRUM is better than his last start at Hollywoodbets Greyville. He steps up to 1800m and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he can finish in the placings.
Race 6
TOMYRIS has produced two good runs for the Tony Peter stable. She tried hard when second in the Listed 4Racing Yellowwood Handicap last time, but found one too good in the form of Kubu. She won her penultimate outing over this C&D with ease. She is in a good space and from pole position, she may be the one to beat.
OPEN HIGHWAY was touched off in his last start over 1600m on the Standside course. He finished third in his only attempt over this distance. Should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces.
QUICKFREEZE finished 0.2 lengths behind the second choice last time. He is 0.5kgs worse off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
Race 7
TURN IT UP is a winner of his last three starts. He was super-impressive when winning the Non-Black Type Race Coast Slipper over this distance at Hollywoodbets Greyville last time. The son of Querari returns from a 31-week break and makes his seasonal debut. He is a horse loaded with class and if fit, he should take a power of beating.
GIMME A FIREBALL should have finished much closer in the Grade 3 TAB Graham Beck Stakes last time as he was eased at the 250m mark. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. With luck in running, he may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
THE LAST DUKE was running on when second over this distance on the TAB Vaal Classic course last time. He is ideally suited to this C&D and can finish in the placings.
Race 8
GALLIC VICTOR ran a good race when second over this C&D last time. He was slow into stride, but raced from a handy position before getting outrun late. He is back in a handicap and with luck in running, he can notch up his second-career victory.
BRAVE WAAM is better than his last start over this C&D. He won his previous two efforts. The son of Hawwaam runs well for Kobeli Lihaba and is one of the leading contenders.
DANTE‘S BOND stayed on when fourth over 1000m on this course last time. He carries a handy galloping mass and from pole position, he can earn another cheque for his patrons.
RACE 9
BOOM BOOM stayed on when fourth over 1800m on the TAB Vaal Classic course last time. She is having her peak run and should be cherry-ripe. The daughter of Erupt takes a drop in class and with luck in running, she can return to winning ways.
LIGHTINTHEWOODS found one too good in the form of On A Jet Plane last time. She is in a good space and with Callan Murray aboard, she can earn another cheque.
DELAWARE RIVER stayed on when third over 1200m on this course last time. She would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. The daughter of Danon Platina must be considered.
RACE 10
MOUNT DARWIN won a good race over this distance on the TAB Vaal Classic course last time. He returns from a well-deserved 11-week break. He finished third in his only attempt over this C&D. If not in need of the run, he can follow up with another victory.
RISING EAGLE followed up his maiden victory with a good second-place finish over 1400m on the Standside course. He returns from a 15-week break, during which time he was gelded. He carries a handy galloping mass and should give a good account of himself.
DAWSON‘S ANVIL was a beaten odds-on favourite over 1800m on this course last time. He should be ideally suited to this distance. With luck from the widest draw, he should be competitive
