The Jackpot could be the way to go at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Friday night the 27th of February. This exotic will kick off in race 4 and here are some comments for the Jackpot legs. HIGH QUEUE (5) comes from an in-form stable that are running at a very good strike rate! This gelding is taking time for the next victory but is running well and could be ready for the winner’s box again. HARUN AL RASHID (2) is a massive player for top honors. Ignore his last run – that puts him right near the top in the pecking order – go close. MOHAVE PRINCE (1) and TEE DOG (3) can never be dismissed from any perm. Race 5, DRICUS (2) has won two out of his last three starts. His last win showed guts and determination and off his rating of 75, he could be generously rated. He is the firm first suggestion as he has progression stamped all over him! WINTER WAVES (3) is always in form and always has strong each way claims. EVENTIDOR (9) is seven years old but winning and performing like a three-year-old – obvious chance and pretty much the same comment can be made for IBUTHO (8) – customary very competitive efforts should come from them. Race 6, the penultimate leg. DE VLUGGE (7) clicked through the gears smartly to win cozily last time under Keagan De Melo whom has stuck with the ride. There is no reason to suggest she cannot follow up. QHAWEKAZI (10) has solid form and solid each way claims. SPINMYANGELSPIN (1) clearly has some ability and can put her last run behind her. Chance as she seems very capable but it must be noted that stable rider Sean Veale has gone with the (10) horse. Must have been a tough call as both have bright chances. SIBERIAN WINTER (2) is one to take seriously. The final leg of the Pot is the seventh race. FATE OF FORTUNE (7) brings solid form into the contest, finished second to Magic Surprise last time and is confidently selected to go one more. UNITED NATION (1) needs not much introduction as his winning form on the surface is there for all to see. Ignore the last run and he can easily bounce right back to winning ways. CHARA SANDS (6) and SMORGASBOARD (2) need to be included on the shortlist.

Race 1: Preview: MIDNIGHT HOUR (8) is making giant strides of improvement and with the valuable weight off her back, should go close to winning. WATERMELON SUGAR (2) gets a cozy draw on debut and could be competitive first up – watch the betting trends as race time nears. WINTER BLESSING (3) has a strong place chance as does BELLIGERENT (5). (Warren Lenferna 8-2-3-5)

Race 2: Preview: DREAM DECISION (3) has been accepting the blinkers, gets a neat draw, weight off again and rates the one to beat. BLACK PLATINA (5) keeps running second but will surely get it all right one of these days – big runner. CAPTAIN’S DYNASTY (8) is starting to learn what racing is all about and can go very close. Respect and include for all bets. WONDERFUL TONIGHT (2) could be the value for the quartet as he can build on the last run which was his local debut. (Warren Lenferna 3-5-8-2)

Race 3: Preview: ETZEBETH (5) did well to get going again in the race last time to go close in third place. He is excellently bred and clearly still learning what racing is all about. This is his third run of his life and he gets cranked up to a distance he should relish. Sparkling winning chance. WANDER SKITT (4) is the interesting runner and could represent some value and give some cheek all the way home – respect and include. DEVIL’S PEAK (3) can start doing a touch better and could be the value for the places. MANIKONGO (1) is probably the best-bred horse on the card but he has not realized that just yet. His run on the poly last time was his best thus far – do not ignore this one as surely, he is better than his form suggests. (Warren Lenferna 5-4-3-1)

This gelding is taking time for the next victory but is running well and could be ready for the winner’s box again. HARUN AL RASHID (2) is a massive player for top honors. Ignore his last run – that puts him right near the top in the pecking order – go close. MOHAVE PRINCE (1) and TEE DOG (3) can never be dismissed from any quartet perm. (Warren Lenferna 5-2-1-3)

Race 8: Preview: PROFESSOR LUPIN (1) starts from the ace gate and comes into the race with high confidence after beating The Mask last time and can follow up. His overall form is ultra-consistent. Stable mate, ULTRA QUICK (9) is the exacta selection and he can never be dismissed from any bets. ILHA DA ORANGE (5) should be in the first four and INDECENT PROPOSAL (2) is never far off the action and the same can be expected today – chance. (Warren Lenferna 1-9-5-2)

Ends

RACE 1

6 JUST CARTER 4 FLYING SKITT 9 THE JUDGE 2 CHIEF MASTER

Preview: 6 JUST CARTER has gone close in both starts at Fairview and was regarded highly enough to run in a feature in Cape Town in between those two starts so will be hard to beat. 4 FLYING SKITT was not disgraced on debut and should make a bold bid. 9 THE JUDGE is by Hawwaam out of a Pathfork mare who won five times. 2 CHIEF MASTER is by Master Of My Fate out of a Henrythenavigator mare. (David Thiselton 6-4-9-2)

RACE 2

1 PANJANDRUM 19 SPURIOUS 2 STONE OF SCONE 6 ATLANTIC PEARL

Preview: 1 PANJANDRUM has hard-knocking Cape Town form and will be hard to beat. 19 SPURIOUS was first reserve at time of writing but if getting in she will be a threat on her hard-knocking Cape Town form. on 2 STONE OF SCONE can earn if reproducing her best. 6 ATLANTIC PEARL has been knocking on the door and should be in the hake up.

Preview: 5 BLAME IT ON ME is knocking hard and is the one to beat. 4 HERE COMES JOHNNY has improved and on his last two runs should go close. 9 WARRIOR’S SWORD ha good form over this trip and can earn again. 3 ALESIAN BEAU might prefer 1000m but has shown ability and could earn. (David Thiselton 5-4-9-3)

RACE 4

1 FLIGHT DISPLAY 2 GREEN ISLE 9 TORI’S GIRL 6 WELSH STARLET

Preview: 1 FLIGHT DISPLAY went close last time this trip and has a good draw. 2 GREEN ISLE narrowly beat Flight Display last time and should be right there again from a good draw. 9 TORI’S GIRL ran a fine race first time out the maidens and will try and repeat the effort on turf. 6 WELSH STARLET is distance suited but her best form is on the poly so she will have something to prove. (David Thiselton 1-2-9-6)

RACE 5

1 ANOTHERDANCEFORME 2 ROYAL CITY GIRL 3 EAST COAST GIRL 5 AUGUSTA ROSSO

Preview: 1 ANOTHERDANCEFORME is top drawer and if able to put her disappointing last start in Cape Town behind her she will be hard to oppose. 2 ROYAL CITY GIRL is on the up and is weighted to finish second. 3 EAST COAST GIRL has shown enough ability to earn here. 5 AUGUSTA ROSSO has good form and can make the frame in this line up. (David Thiselton 1-2-3-5)

RACE 6

3 SILVONIAN 2 LAGUNA VERDE 4 CHEEKY LADDIE 5 NEW MEXICO

Preview: 3 SILVONIAN is ultra consistent and is the one to beat. 2 LAGUNA VERDE has bounced back to his best recently and is a big runner. 4 CHEEKY LADDIE has the ability to be a contender. 5 NEW MEXICO has some class but is not too reliable. (David Thiselton 3-2-4-5)

RACE 7

6 PEDRO 5 SUN SPECTACULAR 7 ALWAYS SHINING 3 WISSA’S ON FIRE

Preview: 6 PEDRO has the form to go close from pole position. 5 SUN SPECTACULAR is off a good mark and should be right there from a good draw. 7 ALWAYS SHINING can earn if repeating his last start. 3 WISSA’S ON FIRE is interesting tried over this trip again as he was not far off in his first attempt. (David Thiselton 6-5-7-3)

RACE 8

9 GUARDING THE WALL 6 IZANAMI 13 FLIGHT ENGINEER 5 KING VISERYS

Preview: 9 GUARDING THE WALL has come down to a competitive mark and is well drawn over an ideal trip. 6 IZANAMI is consistent and should be right there. 13 FLIGHT ENGINEER has ability and f breaking on terms has a chance. 5 KING VISERYS has the form to earn here. (David Thiselton 9-6-13-5)

RACE 9

7 ONCIDIUM 2 NORTH STAR 6 WHIRLYBIRD 3 HOPE CHEST

Preview: 7 ONCIDIUM has some decent Cape Town form and is the one to beat from a fair draw. 2 NORTH STAR is knocking hard and should be right there yet again.  6 WHIRLYBIRD has fair form on the Highveld and KZN and should be involved. 3 HOPE CHEST has plenty of ability and could be in the shake up.
