Greyville racing tips for Wednesday, May 20
HollywoodBets Greyville will host an eight race card on Wednesday, with this mid-week meeting set to feature some solid types. We’re particularly looking forward to Chasing Gold in the sixth race on the card, with the Glen Kotzen-trained three-year-old set to do battle with some other talented types, including the heavily backed Red Coral. The Greyville track is currently rated a good and clear skies are predicted. Below are our free Greyville racing tips for Wednesday, May 20, 2026.

Race 5

CHASING GOLD (3) is continually improving and can defy the handicapper again from a good draw. MISSISSIPPI SPICE (8) is in fine form and a wide draw did not bother her last time. CLOUDS CLEARING (2) has a good draw and a solid form chance, while ROY’S GRACE (9) is always thereabouts and has a chance with a 4kg claimer up despite a wide draw.
Our tip: 3-8-2-9
Race 6

TOMYRIS (3) is not the most reliable but has class and is capable of delivering a top performance on her day. SPIRIT OF SHIMLA (5) is consistent and should be in the shake-up. ICE RAIN (6) beat Tomyris narrowly last time on the same terms and now has a 2.5kg claimer up, giving her a big chance, although there is a reversal in draw fortunes. EDUCATOR (7) has some class but is unreliable and faces a tough draw.
Our tip: 3-5-6-7
Race 7
LIVE IT. LOVE IT. OWN IT. WWW.RACECOAST.CO.ZA CLASS 5 (F & M)
POETIC PRINCESS (1) won well last time and has a chance off a four-point higher mark from pole position. LITTLEBLACKGEM (6) is consistent and currently sits off an attractive merit rating. CLICKBAIT (4) has good pace and, from a good draw off a handy mark, should make a bold bid. QUENTASIA (5) has come down to a nice merit rating and could make her presence felt with a low weight and a 1.5kg claimer up.
Our tip: 1-6-4-5
Race 8
