Winning Form selections for racing from Turffontein on Tuesday 28th April where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter @Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge
Race 1
SECRET LIFE showed improvement when third over this C&D last time. She should have finished closer that day as she hung inwards in the final 400m. The daughter of Act Of War is a progressive type. If keeping on a straight line, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
WITHOUT REMORSE stayed on when third over 1450m on the Vaal Classic course last time. The daughter of Querari drops to 1160m and Richard Fourie may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
RENDEVOUS IN RIO has some good form to her credit. She returns from a lengthy 34-week break. Muzi Yeni rides and if not in need of the outing, she should be competitive.
Race 2
STORMACT showed good improvement when fourth over 1000m on the Vaal Classic course last time. The manner in which he finished off his race that day suggests that he will love the rise to 1160m. The son of Declarationofpeace is a progressive type and may have more to come.
TIGER’S CAPTAIN’S last three starts have been fair. He finished second over this C&D, three runs ago. Should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces.
EVENING NEWS is an unraced son of Futura from the Sean Tarry stable with Muzi Yeni in the saddle. He is related to eight-time winner Nebraas. 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 him and the other unraced entrants.
Race 3
STATUS SYMBOL is better than his last start in the Non-Black Type Race Coast Sales Slipper suggests. He lost a length leaving the start, was settled at the rear of the field and should have finished much closer, as he had to be switched for running room at the 100m mark. The son of Gimmethegreenlight has ability and if getting away on terms, he may be the one to beat.
GIMME SOME LUCK was super-impressive when winning on debut over 1000m on the Vaal Classic course. The son of Gimmethegreenlight could be anything and can remain unbeaten.
THE BRONX BULL ran a good race when second in the Grade 2 TAB SA Nursery last time. He tried hard but found one too good in the form of Better Never Ends. He has class about him and should be competitive.
Race 4
GOOD DAY SUNSHINE won a good race in the Grade 2 Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Nursery last time. Despite getting away to an awkward start, she fought hard to hold Griselda at bay. The daughter of Vercingetorix has class about her and can remain unbeaten.
GET UP challenged strongly when 0.9 lengths behind the top choice last time. She was super-impressive when winning on debut over 1160m on this course. The daughter of What A Winter is one of the leading contenders.
LANZAROTE was an easy winner when shedding her maiden tag over 1000m on the Vaal Classic course last time. She was not disgraced when third in the Listed Wilgerbosdrift Ruffian Stakes in her penultimate effort. The daughter of Erupt is a progressive type and would not be a surprise winner.
Race 5
ENFLAME was an easy winner in the Listed Wilgerbosdrift Caradoc Gold Cup last time. He ran on well and was geared down at the finish. The son of Irish Flame tries the 3200m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he can notch up his sixth-career victory.
SHOOT THE RAPIDS was running on when second over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. His last victory came over this C&D. Craig Zackey steps back into the saddle and the combination merit healthy respect.
ALADDIN’S LAMP finished 5 lengths behind the top selection last time. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result.
Race 6
OLIVIA’S WAY stayed on nicely when third in the Grade 1 HKJC World Pool Premier’s Champions Challenge last time. She has won once, finished second twice and third twice from as many starts over this C&D. Marco van Rensburg retains the ride and the combination may find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.
MINOGUE found one too good in the form of Double Grand Slam in the Grade 1 TAB Empress Club Stakes last time. The daughter of Vercingetorix tries the 2000m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
CALLMEGETRIX finished 0.4 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 7
Trainer Alec Laird holds a strong hand in this contest and he can saddle the first two past the post. ATTICUS FINCH lacked a finish when fourth in the Grade 1 HKJC World Pool Premier’s Champions Challenge last time. The 6yo gelding is having his peak run and should be cherry-ripe. On best form shown, he may be the one to beat.
FIRE ATTACK is better than his last start in the race referred to above. The son of Fire Away runs well for Richard Fourie and if putting his best foot forward, he should be competitive.
CHOISAANADA is a winner of his last two starts, the latest of which was over 1800m on this course. The son of Querari steps up to 2000m and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he can bring up the hat-trick.
Race 8
BUFFALO STORM CODY is the top bet on the programme. He was an impressive winner in the Grade 1 TAB Computaform Sprint last time. He showed a good turn of foot and drew off in the run down to the line. The son of Buffalo Bill Cody is unbeaten from four starts over this C&D. He is the class horse in this contest and should keep that record intact.
WILLIAM ROBERTSON is better than his last start when 4.55 lengths behind the top choice. He has won three times, finished second four times and third once from nine starts over this C&D. He always gives of his best and merits healthy respect.
MOUNT PINATUBO was not disgraced when 3.3 lengths behind the top choice last time. He finished second in his only C&D attempt. With luck in running, he may be the one to cause the surprise.
Race 9
GREEN DIAMOND was far from disgraced when fourth in the Grade 1 TAB Computaform Sprint last time. The manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. She was victorious under Craig Zackey, three runs ago. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight is back against her own sex and may be the one to beat.
WHISTLE THE TUNE finished 2.25 lengths behind the top choice last time. She is 1kg better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result.
RODEO DRIVE is better than her last start in the Grade 1 TAB Empress Club Stakes as she was reported to be not striding out. She has won once, finished second once and third once from five starts over this C&D. She is a solid back-up for the Sean Tarry stable.
Race 10
VANAKKAM tried hard when second over this C&D last time, but found one too good in the form of Poblano. The daughter of Vercingetorix drops back in class and if keeping on a straight line, she may be hard to peg back.
ALPINE JET’S last three starts have been good. She has won once and finished second once from three starts over this C&D. Should the top choice fluff her lines, she may be the one to pick up the pieces.
ANCHORAGE returns from a 14-week break which may have done her the world of good. She has won once, finished second once and third once from as many starts over this distance. If not in need of the run, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 11
PRINCE OF KILDARE took on much stronger in the Grade 2 TAB Hawaii Stakes last time. His form prior to that outing was consistent. He has won once and finished second twice from six starts over this distance. He jumps from a good draw of three and can notch up his fourth-career victory.
KAMBATI is a winner of his last three starts, the latest of which was over 1400m. The manner in which he finishes off his races suggests that he will be suited to the mile. With a bit of luck in running, he can go close.
PALACE ATTACK finished 0.7 lengths behind FIRE STORM last time. He is 4kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned
