HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE - DAILY NEWS 2000 RACE DAY

I went with Vivas Liberte to win the daily News and WP in July 

If he skips clear at the top of the straight he may be hard to peg back....

Thoughts from the guest presenter ....

R1: Seems like the first-timer Scotch Again is hard to beat; Brigitte Anne is the market's second choice and tries the Poly but on her runs up in Gauteng, her form is not that great; Ubuntu of Peace according to the book was only a 7k yearling - has been gelded a year ago - so he must have his problems - could make the quartet pay

R2: Open Maiden and this looks difficult; Royal Sceptre first ime on Poly so might improve; Bourbon's Feast tries blinkers and he did run 2nd on the Poly over 1400; Quandura has the 4kgs off, but been ridden by de Melo before and he now takes the ride on the seemingly moderate Green Commander who has found betting support; Brightsunnyday tries the Poly again and Fourie keeps the ride; Captain T tries further and has a wide draw along with Cali Bullet - load up in the BP imo

R3: The first 2 on form and as per the betting looks to be De Vlugge who is on 4-timer this track and Perilla, but nothing seems to separate Perilla and Sovereign Grant; Bright and Brazen tries the Poly as well as Forward Motion, so who knows ? Juliet Tango might need further, while One Smart Cookie could prove dangerous with Fourie riding - who has won on this horse before

R4: This looks easier; Benny and Paul has Cape form,, so not to be ignored, while Coast of the Sun made a good debut over 1200 at this track; Impressive another not to be left out and looks capable

R5: As mentioned, I'm not a fan of Curious Girl; Douglas Dragon has found betting support after a stable change and is capable over the distance; Dance King is putting up another 1,5kg courtesy of Wes Marwing, who might cost him opposing Douglas Dragon again; Continental Express has won twice (from 3 starts) over the track and trip, while Saxon Dynasty looks capable, but de Melo again rides She's A Bomber - and then we have Ahead Of The Facts who has a big weight - not easy

R6: Wish List all the rage, but I think she has her work cut out to beat the 5yr-old mares Rainbow Lorikeet and Callmegetrix; the younger brigade seems Beach Verse and Keukenhof seems to be held by Wish List

R7: Note To Self has been prepared for this race I believe, but I Jan Van Goyen (if he gets the trip) and Star Major look the main opponents; Viva's Liberte and Happy Verse look held by Note To Self, while the filly Hazy Dazy might yet prove the ratings correct - but we don't know ....    

R8: On the Poly again ... and this seems sure to suit Mystic Dancer and Whatastar with Captain's Star; Ruby's Rising has won over 1000m at this track and looks to perfer the 1200m ....

R9: Poly again ... Little Boy Blue takes a big drop in ratings and with Lerena riding and the tongue-tie should be competitive; this is open though - Black Frost, Gallic Victor, Winter In London, Grand Appeal and Definitely Yes all come into this race

Enjoy   

I like Coast of the Sun in R 4. Has the bad draw to overcome but looks like a really nice horse in the making.
