Punters face a competitive card on the Hollywoodbets Greyville poly this evening where one of the better bets on the programme could come in the first where Dean Kannemeyer sends out Flying Fate.
There were some nibbles about her chances on debut but the daughter of Master Of My Fate raced green in spite of finishing off her race well. She is sure to have come on from that effort. Biggest danger could come from the Duncan Howells-trained Peace Rose who has improved with each outing. She was narrowly beaten last time out and should be a big runner.
Of the balance Siyabamelela is holding form and from the best of the draw must have a winning chance along with Vaan’s Spirit who has run two promising races on the poly over further but is back to a sprint and gets 1.5kg relief from the saddle.
Dream Decision can kick off the Place Accumulator. She has been runner-up in open handicaps with a light weight and meets some modest opposition and can go one better. Can We Start could be a threat as she started favourite last run over further but faded badly. All three runs have been in the soft and the switch to poly could bring out the best. Cali Bullet was well beaten when trying further but shows some ability and can feature.
Master Du Rouvray could start favourite in the first leg of the Pick 6 as Mark Dixon’s runner is never far off. He has a big weight but goes well over course and distance. Biggest danger could be High Queue who is hardly ever out of the money of late and is course and distance suited. Sesame takes on males but won well under a big weight on the poly last time out. However, she did get a five-point raise in the handicap which could be an issue.
Punters are faced with a string of competitive handicaps for the rest of the card starting in the fourth. Magic Maverick has been shown signs of coming to hand for Gary Rich and with a 1.5kg allowance, a light weight and a world class rider aboard she should go close. Takeyourbestshot will be a big threat as he has excellent poly form but Keagan de Melo is replaced by a 4kg claiming visiting apprentice who needs to prove better than his allowance. Chasing Gold was a length back to Takeyourbestshot last time out but is 9kg out at the weights with her rival give the apprentice claim. National Dream is showing signs of his best and now gets blinkers. He can surprise.
The fifth is a seriously competitive handicap. Ragnar The King has come down in the ratings and is back over what looks to be his preferred surface. He should start at lengthy odds. Favourite could be the Mike and Mathew de Kock-trained My Lucky Charm who showed up well on his local debut after showing some fair Highveld form. He is down in class and is progressive. Deandre’s Dream ran well below ability when taking on stronger last start as he showed up nicely on the poly at his penultimate start and looks competitive in this line-up.
Thought Control makes her poly debut in the sixth but showed up well first run out of the maidens. She meets Spirit Of Shimla on 1kg better terms after their meeting in the maidens and although there should not be much between the pair the weight could tell. Oklahoma Girl is lightly raced but has her peak run for Mike Miller after returning from a break. She showed early promise before winning her maiden. Oh My Gucci Girl only has 48kg to shoulder from the best of the draw. Kom Naidoo is likely to tell the apprentice to make the pace and see if they can catch you.
The seventh is another open handicap but Queen is over her best course and distance. She has a good draw and should feature prominently. Grue of Ice has been knocking at the door for some time now and boasts consistent form over course and distance. She has a useful apprentice back aboard. Time In Paris has been improving nicely of late and now gets a 4kg claimer aboard which could be enough to see her home. Rafeef’s Choice is another that has been improving of late and was touched off last run. Her last win was on the poly.
Finally Catch A Penny can round off the meeting for Glen Kotzen and Sean Veale. Catch A Penny shed her maiden in KZN but currently boasts useful Cape form. She was touched off last run and should go close again. Magical Sky has won both of her recent starts over course and distance and obviously enjoys the poly. Summer Winter is seldom far back and was possibly in need of her last run. Ruby Rising has her third run back from a break for Duncan Howells and she was a close-up third last run and has a good chance.

RACE 1
Preview: DANCING AMBER (3) finished second on debut and is confidently selected to now win. VENTURA BOULEVARD (5) could be good enough to go close on debut as could AMERICAN PETAL (1) QUEEN’S AWAY (4) can improve to get closer. (Warren Lenferna 3-5-1-4)
RACE 2
Preview: RULES OF CONDUCT (5) caught the eye on debut and with expected progression, should win. CHIEF MASTER (1) was not far off first time out and can get way closer now. GLOBAL THRILLER (2) has a huge place chance and ROCKING IN RIO (4) is a must inclusion for the trifecta and quartet. (Warren Lenferna 5-1-2-4)
RACE 3 Preview: SPLICETHEMAINBRACE (1) boasts solid, consistent and useful form and rates a sparkling winning chance. ENCHANTING CHOICE (2) beat Splicethemainbrace last time and there should not be too much between them – each way chance. ROYAL CITY GIRL (5) is holding form and has undeniable claims as does Avernian Goddess (3) – respect and include. (Warren Lenferna 1-2-5-3)
RACE 4
Preview: INDESTRUCTABLE (12) improved at the second time of asking and with more than likely more progression to come, could be the value for the win here. DEAD POETS SOCIETY (5) ran a much better race last time and could represent some place value for the swingers. GREY WARRIOR (2) and BRIGHT ERUPTION (3) have each way chances. (Warren Lenferna 12-5-2-3)
RACE 5
Preview: DANCING IN WINTER (4) has solid form and a solid winning chance. STRANGE MAGIC (6) caught the eye when two lengths off last time and can go close. MY AMI BEACH (1) and JAPANESE GARDEN (9) are never too far off the winners and have quartet inclusion chances. (Warren Lenferna 4-6-1-9)
RACE 6
Preview: THUNDER MASTER (5) has won two out of his last three starts and can win again. CURTISS CONDOR (6) has fair form and can be given bright each way claims. HEEMSTEDE (1) won impressively last time and has every chance of following up. GEORGE HANDEL (2) can get closer than he did last time – respect. (Warren Lenferna 5-6-1-2)
RACE 7
Preview: BAD MEDICINE (3) is absolutely adoring Port Elizabeth and looks set to get it all right again. JUAN CARLOS (4) went close last time in the race won by Bad Medicine – each way chance. ZATARA MAGIC (1) can never be dismissed from any bets and nor can ANATOLIAN SILVER (7). (Warren Lenferna 3-4-1-7)
RACE 8
Preview: AYUWI YUWI (2) brings some fair KZN form to the race and could make a winning local debut. BLACK PATH (10) travels from Cape Town with good form and might well be the one they all have to fear the most. QUEEN OF JAZZ (7) is taking time for the next win but the weight off the back again from Wilmien Fourie will assist – bright place chance. WINTERONTHEGREEN (9) can build on that post maiden run – chance. (Warren Lenferna 2-10-7-9)
RACE 9
Preview: LOTUS SILK (4) does not know how to run a disappointing race. She did fluff her lines on the 28th of November but took a break after that and ran an absolute cracker when returning on the 6th of March. She can win. THE WINTER LAKE (1) placed at huge odds last time – chance of placing again if confirming that sudden improvement. TRIPPING THUNDER (3) has an undeniable hat trick chance and WAROFDYNAMITE (8) would be deserving of his next victory. (Warren Lenferna 4-1-3-8)
