Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Greyville on Monday 28th April where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
TREASURE ISLAND has been costly to follow in her last two starts. She showed speed over 1200m last time, but did not go on with the effort. The daughter of Master Of My Fate gets the blinkers fitted which should keep her mind on the task at hand. She drops back to 1000m and may be hard to peg back.
CRAFTY CROFTY finished 2.65 lengths behind the top choice on debut. She found betting support that day which suggests that she was showing good work at home. The daughter of Rafeef would have come on from the run and she is one of the leading contenders.
ALAKAZAM is an unraced daughter of Rafeef from the Nathan Kotzen stable with Muzi Yeni in the saddle. She is related to five-time winner Strawberry Bear. If not too green, she should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to her and the other unraced entrants.
Race 2
GRIPEN stayed on when fifth over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. His penultimate run when second over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth catches the eye. The son of Visionaire is back in Maiden Company and if suited to this course, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
EL CAPITAN was his own worst enemy over 1400m last time. He returns from a 21-week break which would have done him the world of good. If not in need of the run and if switching off early, he should have a say.
WHITE SEAHORSE’S last three starts have been good. He was steadied leaving the start last time and finished off his race well. With a bit of luck in running, he would not be a shock winner.
Race 3
RANI TARABAI has shown good improvement in her last two starts over 1400m. She raced from a handy position over 1400m last time and rallied late to finish second. The daughter of Rafeef should have no issues with the rise to 1800m and she can go one better.
SHEEZAROCKET finished 1.1 lengths behind ROYAL MERMAID last time. She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
ROYAL MERMAID set the pace over 1750m last time and stayed on to finish second. She jumps from a good draw of two, has scope and may be hard to peg back.
Race 4
ANIMAL IMPACT returned to winning ways over this C&D last time. He was given a five-pound penalty for that victory. The son of Danon Platina meets a similar line-up this evening and can follow up with another victory.
FUTURE SAINT is better than his last start as he was reported to be fatigued. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he should throw out a big challenge to the top choice.
SWEETER THAN HONEY finished 5.65 lengths behind the top selection last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and she may have to settle for the same result.
Race 5
KADIZORA should have finished closer to the winner last time as the saddle was reported to have slipped in running. She receives her sex allowance in this contest and jumps from a good draw of two. Muzi Yeni retains the ride and she can notch up her second-career victory.
WAVE WARRIOR won a game race in his last start over 1800m on the polytrack. He returns from a well-deserved 11-week break. Apprentice Mxolisi Mbuto takes the 4kgs off his back which will assist his cause. If not in need of the run, he should fight out the finish.
BASIE RAAKVAT ran on from far back when third over 1800m last time. He has cracked a much better draw this afternoon and if not too far out of his ground turning for home, he can return to winning ways.
Race 6
FIREBURST was touched off in her last start over this C&D, against male company. She has won once, finished second twice and third once from seven starts over this distance. The daughter of Fire Away is back against her own sex and she can go one better.
SILKY JET stayed on when fourth over 1500m on the Vaal Classic course last time. With a bit of luck from her wide draw, she may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
THESUPERNOVASTAR finished 0.8 lengths behind ENGLISH PRIMROSE last time. She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. If not in need of the run, she should be right there.
Race 7
FORWARD MOTION set the pace over this C&D last time before getting outrun late by Give Me Everything. The daughter of Pathfork drops back in Class and Muzi Yeni steps into the saddle. Despite her big mass of 61kgs, she should be the one to beat.
ALPHABETTY has finished third in her last two starts. Despite taking a keen hold in the early stages of her last outing, she finished off her race well. She is having her peak run and is one of the leading contenders.
SUNSHINE DAY was running on when third over 1200m on this course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She will be at peak fitness and must be considered.
Race 8
DARING ACT was not beaten far in his last start over 1200m on this course. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He will strip a much fitter horse and from pole position, he can cause the upset.
PURPLE POWAHOUSE ran on from last when second over this C&D last time. He is at his best over further, but seldom runs a bad race and he cannot be ignored.
VICTOR RAIL finished 1.35 lengths behind the second choice last time. He is 1kg better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
Race 9
GLAMORZ set the pace over this C&D last time, fought hard but found one too good in the form of Now I Got You. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. She is in a good space and may be hard to peg back.
HEIRLOOM won a good race in her last start over this C&D. She raced from a handy position and kept finding all the way to the line. There should not be much separating her and the top choice at the finish.
MAGICAL SKY won her maiden at the second time of asking over 1000m. She returns from a well-deserved 12-week break, during which time she would have strengthened up. The daughter of Varnilla Sky takes on stronger, but she has plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand
