After the abandonment of Hollywoodbets Scottsville yesterday, eight races are carded at Hollywoodbets Greyville on the polytrack today.
Don’t forget about the Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge and if you tip all eight winners on the card, you can win over R1 million. The first is due off at 12h30.
Jimmy The Rich writes that Hollywoodbets-sponsored trainer Alyson Wright saddles SyX Hotfix in Race 2.
He was a beaten favourite in his last start, but was reported to have cast a shoe in running. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked.

His penultimate run when finishing third over this distance catches the eye. The son of Flower Alley tries the polytrack for the first time and if suited to the surface, he should be the one to beat.
The Bayou from the Paul Lafferty stable represents decent each way value in Race 4. He took on stronger company over 1400m on this course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since.
Four of his five career victories have come over this distance. The 7yo gelding takes a drop in class and with the services of 4kgs claiming apprentice Donald Geerthsen, he can return to winning ways.
