Had a few people say they are not studying ... So here’s Gold Circle’s post

HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE WEDNESDAY 7 OCTOBER FORMGUIDES
-Andrew Harrison

1
1 ADMIRE ME 6 BOOGIE SHOES 5 FOXY LADY 10 CACHE
Preview: ADMIRE ME (1) has improved with every outing. She has been over further at her last two but shows enough to be effective over this shorter trip in her poly debut. BOOGIE SHOES (6) has shown promise in two starts and the form has held up. FOXY LADY (5) was a close-up last time out and appears to have come to hand. CACHE (10) was a distant third from a tough draw last start. Has the worst of it again here but is improving quickly. (Andrew Harrison: 1-6-5-10).
2
7 CHAPTER AND VERSE 1 BANZAI PIPLINE 9 RAISEAHALLELUJAH 8 TREE OF KNOWLEDGE
Preview: CHAPTER AND VERSE (7) has yet to finish out of the money and goes well this trip. BANZAI PIPELINE (1) had a tough draw to overcome at his second start. He gets pole here and the extra furlong should suit. RAISEAHALLELUJAH (9) raced green on debut and should come on lengths from that. TREE OF KNOWLEDGE ( has run two big races with claiming apprentices aboard. Did well from a high draw last run and finished ahead of Chapter And Verse. (Andrew Harrison: 7-1-9-.
3
7 THEATRICAL MOMENT 1 DOUBLE IMPRESSION 4 ELUSIVE SUZY 9 KOALA
Preview: THEATRICAL MOMENT (7) has come good in blinkers and was touched off late run. A repeat showing should see her in the money again. DOUBLE IMPRESSION (1) was a touch disappointing last run after finding good market support. She looks capable of a better effort and can go close in this modest field. ELUSIVE SUZY (4) has shown recent improvement in blinkers and although taking a big jump in trip, her pedigree suggests that she should see it out comfortably. KOALA (9) appears to have come to hand of late and can finish in the money. (Andrew Harrison: 7-1-4-9).
4
9 EIGHTFOLD LASS 6 RUBY SLIPPERS 7 ZAGARA 10 MORE THAN A DIME
Preview: EIGHTFOLD LASS (9) made marked improvement in blinkers last start in spite of jumping from the widest gate. She doesn’t have it much better here but a repeat should see her in the money again. RUBY SLIPPERS (6) goes well over course and distance and has been holding form. The stable often comes good at this time of the year. ZAGARA (7) has been racing over further but has done well in useful company. She should make a bold bid. MORE THAN A DIME (10) showed up well first run back from a long break. She should come on with that run under her girth. (Andrew Harrison: 9-6-7-10).
5
8 TARZAN 3 TEICHMAN 9 LIVING WATERS 4 FADE TO BLACK
Preview: TARZAN ( last run was too short. Back over optimum trip and rates a strong chance. TEICHMAN (3) is lightly raced and has been consistent since his maiden win. His best form has been with cheekpieces. LIVING WATERS (9) did not shape when tried in blinkers last run although he did have the worst of the draw. The blinkers come off and he should do better here. FADE TO BLACK (4) was not too far back first up in a handicap and can place. (Andrew Harrison: 8-3-9-4).
6
7 LINEAR 2 GEORGINA ROSE 1 MADAME PATRICE 5 PETRA
Preview: LINEAR (7) is not the easiest but she can get along a bit. She beat a good one last time out and with her 4kg claimer up she should make a bold bid. GEORGINA ROSE (2) is way over due another win. She took on males last run and has improved in blinkers. She will be a big runner. MADAME PATRICE (1) was a little disappointing last run after showing useful Highveld form but she has a light weight and a good draw which adds to her appeal. PETRA (5) is always dangerous although she does look held by both Linear and Georgina Rose. (Andrew Harrison: 7-2-1-5).
7
7 COLOUR OF LIGHT 10 NOEMI 1 BURGANDY ROSE 2 SARABI
Preview: COLOUR OF LIGHT (7) is consistent and overdue another win. She drops a furlong in trip but should be up to it. NOEMI (10) is never far back and is over her best course and distance with Marcus up. BURGANDY ROSE (1) is always game and has come to hand nicely. She has the best of the draw and is over her best trip. SARABI (2) showed signs of her best form last run and appears to have come to hand again. (Andrew Harrison: 7-10-1-2).
8
2 KINGSTON ROCK 7 WASHINGTON SQUARE 11 YAAS 12 TIMKAT
Preview: KINGSTON ROCK (2) is rarely out of the money of late and goes well for this apprentice. From a good draw he should at least contest the finish. WASHINGTON SQUARE (7) has been coming along nicely since a lay-off and should be primed for this event. YAAS (11) is always dangerous and has been up against stronger at recent outings. With a 4kg claimer up she should be competitive. TIMKAT (12) makes his local debut. He is back from a break but boasts excellent Kimberley form and is one to watch in the betting. (Andrew Harrison: 2-7-11-12)

Apparently South African horseracing does not require studying...You just use Pythagoras Theorem...and if you want to know what that is...? It's all Greek to me...
and in the interest of those missing out on the P6, we are working on making the fields smaller...:lol:

I don't want to give the jockeys ideas but there is a Cosatu march in Durban today from about 11!!:whistle:

🙈🙏🏇🏻

Is it too late now to switch the venue to Maritzburra?
With the protest motorcades on the N3 heading for Curries Fountain Stadium near Greyville, will the floats not be held up in the procession?

Racing delayed to a strike on the roads
