Greyville Tips - Best Bets and Predictions May 29

Greyville stages an important card today, featuring several key trials for the 2021 Durban July. To help you try and find a few winners, here's which horse's Magic Tips has tipped up on the HollywoodBets Blog this morning.

HUGS ACCEPTED had to overcome the widest draw when finishing sixth behind Captain’s Ransom in the Grade 2 WSB Fillies Guineas last time. The daughter of Oratorio will love the drop to the 1400m. She returns to Handicap company this afternoon and from barrier position number 4, she can notch up her fourth career victory.

FLOWER OF SAIGON caught the eye when running on to finish third in the Listed East Coast Cup last time. She should have finished closer that day as she hung in the latter stages. The daughter of Flower Alley takes a big drop in class and should be cherry-ripe. If keeping on a straight line, she should take a power of beating.

The Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara winner makes her way to KZN. WAR OF ATHENA has won her last five starts under Muzi Yeni with ease. The daughter of Act Of War has finished second in her only attempt on this course. She is the best filly in this contest and if all went well with her travels, she should find herself in the winner’s enclosure.

LINEBACKER was super-impressive when winning the Grade 2 WSB Guineas last time. He switched off nicely in the early stages and the manner in which he moved past horses up the straight was eye-catching. The son of Captain Of All won the Grade 1 Cape Derby over this distance. He has plenty of class about him and should notch up his fourth career victory.

GAINSFORD’S last start in the Listed In Full Flight Handicap can be ignored as he had no luck in the closing stages of the race. He has won twice, finished second twice and third once from as many starts over this distance. It is encouraging that Grant van Niekerk keeps faith in the ride. The son of Gimmethegreenlight makes his course debut and if suited to the track, he may be the one to cause the upset.
