Racing on Boxing Day today takes place on the Hollywoodbets Greyville turf track.
There are two feature races on this eight-race programme, the Listed Flamboyant Stakes and the Listed Christmas Handicap.
A reminder that selections for the free-to-play Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge must be in at least 5 minutes before the first is due off.
Craig Zackey takes the ride on Zalta Star in Race 3 (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
Hollywoodbets-sponsored trainer Garth Puller sends out Zalta Star under jockey Craig Zackey in Race 3. She should have won her last start over this distance on the polytrack.
She had to be eased at the 200m mark and cast a shoe in running. The daughter of Canford Cliffs finished third in her penultimate run on this course.
She jumps from a good draw of three and with a bit of luck in running, she can go one better.
Mountainsofthemoon from the Robbie Hill yard takes her place in Race 5. She has fair recent form lines to her credit.
The daughter of Pathfork has dropped to a competitive rating. She has cracked a good draw and should have no issues with the rise to 1900m.
Deryl Daniels retains the ride and she may be the one to cause the upset.
