Winning Form selections for @Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday 23rd March where there are huge prizes available in the free to enter Punters Challenge
Race 1
GOTTA GO EDDIE produced a decent debut effort over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He found betting support that day which suggests that he was showing good work at home. He would have gained from the experience and should love the rise to 1400m. With the natural improvement that is expected and if not too green around the turn, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
LIKE FIRE finished 1 length behind the top choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he may have to settle for the same result.
GEORGE’S MAGIC finished 2.4 lengths behind the top choice in the race referred to above. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he may battle to turn the form around.
Race 2
CAPSAICIN set the pace over 1600m last time and stayed on to finish fourth. Another horse cut his throat up front that day which may have cost him winning. The son of Canford Cliffs tries the 1800m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
BROADWAY GIRL stayed on when fourth over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. She has won twice and finished second once from five starts on this course. Should the top choice fluff his lines, she may be the one to pick up the pieces.
SHOOT THE RAPIDS returns from a 34-week break and is making his seasonal debut. The son of Erupt is the class horse in this contest, but he may need the run over this distance.
Race 3
BAD MEDICINE returns from a short eight-week break and is having his first run for the Alyson Wright stable. He raced from a handy position over this distance on the Vaal Classic course last time, before getting outrun late by Casus Belli. Gavin Lerena does duty once again and if suited to this course, he can shed his maiden tag.
SILVER PLATTER returns from a 14-week break. He has finished second in his last two starts on this course. If not in need of this outing, he should be involved at the finish.
CUZZIE showed very good improvement when fourth over 1800m on this course last time. The son of Futura will love the rise to 2000m. He is a progressive type and must be included in all bets.
Race 4
JP’S PALACE won a good race in his last start over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. Despite hanging outwards in the final 400m, he kept finding to hold all challengers at bay. The son of Potala Palace remains in Class 4 and with luck from his awkward draw of nine, he can follow up with another victory.
ARVERNI KING was running on when fourth over this C&D last time. He has won once, finished second three times and third twice from nine starts on this course. Ryan Munger is booked to ride and he may be able to get the best out of him.
RICCARDO finished 2.1 lengths behind the second selection last time. He is 0.5kgs better off at the weights which is not enough to turn the form around. He will strip a much fitter horse and can show.
Race 5
FUTURE SAINT challenged strongly when third over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. The son of Futura has dropped to a competitive rating and from his mid-field draw of six, he may be the one to side with in this line-up.
PONGOLA should have finished closer last time as he was baulked for running room at the 400m mark and had to be switched at the 200m mark. Both his career victories have come on this course. He is having his peak run and with luck, he should fight out the finish.
BALLY MAGIC finished 3.7 lengths behind the top selection last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he may have to settle for the same result.
Race 6
FIELD MARSHAL ran a good race when second in the Non-Black Type Fever Tree Stakes last time. He cast a shoe in running that day which didn’t help his chances. The son of Lancaster Bomber is having his peak run and should be cherry-ripe. Gavin Lerena rides from pole position and he may be the one to side with.
MASCHERINA returns from a 12-week break which may have done her the world of good. She has won twice and finished second once from five starts on this course. If not in need of this outing, she should give the males a run for their money.
OFFICER IN COMMAND is better than his last start over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville as he raced wide throughout. He drops back in class and with luck in running, he would not be a shock winner.
Race 7
GLADATORIAN won a good race over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. He returns from a well- deserved 16-week break. The son of Vercingetorix has won twice, finished second once and third once from seven starts on this course. He is the class horse in this contest and if fit, he should notch up his ninth-career victory.
MADISON VALLEY was not disgraced when fourth in the Grade 1 Betway Summer Cup last time. Two of his four career victories have come on this course. If not in need of the run, he may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
NARINA TROGON’S last two runs have been good. He is unbeaten from two starts over this C&D. He is drawn widest of all in barrier nine, but gets the services of Tristan Godden who knows him well.
Race 8
ROOSTER BRADSHAW followed up his maiden victory with a decent fourth-place finish over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He raced from a handy position that day and stayed on at the finish. The son of Potala Palace should have no issues with the rise to 1600m. He is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back.
BOWIE ran a fair race over 1400m on this course last time. He takes a drop in class and from pole position, he can return to best form.
MISTER NIBBLES finished 2 lengths behind TERMINATOR last time. He is 6.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He is having his first run for the Paul Lafferty stable. Apprentice Jacey Botes takes the 4kgs off his back which will assist his cause.
Race 9
JAZZ FESTIVAL should have finished closer to the winner last time as he had to be eased at the 300m mark. He has won three times and finished third once from seven starts over this C&D. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from his awkward draw of eight and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
PAPA C ran on well when second over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. Two of his four career victories have come on this course. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
GLOBAL MOVEMENT finished 0.95 lengths behind the second selection last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he may have to settle for the same result.
Race 10
DONQUERARI finished 0.5 lengths behind KALAHARI ROLLER last time. He is 3kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has won twice, finished second three times and third twice from ten starts over this C&D. 4kgs claiming apprentice Blaine Marx-Jacobson retains the ride and the pair may find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.
TWENTY ONE MAY was touched off in his last start over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He has won once and finished second once from three starts over this C&D. The son of Erupt is in a good space and merits healthy respect.
MOJO MAN showed some signs of needing his stable debut over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. All three of his career victories have come over this distance. He will strip much fitter and has a big shout from pole position
