Greyville racing tips for Saturday, June 13
Greyville hosts a competitive nine-race card on Saturday, June 13, headlined by the Grade 3 Lucky Fish Winter Stakes over 2400m, a race that could have major implications for next month’s Hollywoodbets Durban July.
Candice and Tammy Dawson-trained ENFLAME arrives in excellent form and looks set to play a leading role after a string of strong staying performances, while fellow July hopefuls TENPENNY, SHOOT THE RAPIDS and HOLDING THUMBS are all aiming to boost their credentials in a fascinating feature.
Elsewhere on the card, SWEET GREEN shapes as one of the stronger betting propositions after a promising start to her career, while Ricky Maingard’s unbeaten stable runners will be out to maintain their impressive strike rate. The eighth race also features classy performer CATS PAJAMAS, who drops back in trip but still looks a major contender with online betting sites despite top weight.
Below are our free racing tips for Saturday, June 13, 2026.
Race 1
Gallop Tv Mdn Juvenile Plate
Visiting TENAREEF (1) found good market support on debut. He was a well-beaten fourth but in excellent time and from the best of the draw. From a top stable, he should be right there. LENOXX (4) was narrowly beaten last time out, but has improved with each outing and should now be at his peak. Just behind LENOXX was DEONARIE (3) who made his debut at long odds. Drawn alongside each other, she should be little in it. KID FROM THE SOUTH (7) found some support on debut and was not far back on debut in soft ground. Any market support must be taken seriously.
Our tip: 1-4-3-7
Race 2
Bet With Tote Mdn Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
SWEET GREEN (4) was a beaten favourite at her last run after a smart debut. She has been rested but does look progressive. PACIFIC MOOD (11) has the widest draw, but showed up well when racing green on debut. The experience should bring her on lengths. QUERARISTINYFERRARI (10) has only been firing on five cylinders and has been a beaten favourite at her last two. Her last run was on the poly and the switch back to turf could bring out the best. First timer SWEET CHERRY (1) has the best of the draw and one to watch in the market.

Race 3
Online Form Guide Www.gallop.co.za Mdn Plate
Ricky Maingard’s runners are unbeaten since arriving in KZN and ZAGREB (6) can continue that trend. The grey comes from steady Cape form and will be a big runner if taking to the poly track. LIGHT THE FIRE (4) was not far behind recent Gr 2 winner VIKING LEADER in his penultimate start and was second behind Maingard’s PRETTI UNITED last time out. BARRY’S BOY (7) was caught late when trying the poly for the first time and gets some relief from the saddle. UBUNTU OF PEACE (3) started at long odds on debut on the poly and should come on from that effort from a favourable draw. DONMAGOO (1) has been holding form and from a plum draw should be competitive again.
Our tip: 6-4-7-3
Race 4
Gallop Form Class 4
Wendy Whitehead holds a strong hand with three competitive runners in a wide open handicap. DEFINITELY YES (11) has a wide draw, but has shown up well in both starts from similiter gates at his last two on the poly. With a useful 4kg claimer aboard, he looks to be the stable elect. LITTLE BOY BLUE (8) enjoyed his poly debut and finished ahead of DEFINITELY YES last time out but is now 5kg worse off in the handicap for a two-length beating. BANGLADESH (5) won well first run back from a lengthy break. He does appear to have problems but fit and well he looks progressive. GORGEOUS GUY (1) has dropped in the ratings and has the best of the draw. He has been consistent on the turf and the switch to poly could bring out the best.
Our tip: 11-8-5-1
Race 5
Live It. Love It. Own It. Www.racecoast.co.za Middle Stakes
MOHAVE PRINCE (4) has won three of his last four starts and second on the other. He got a five-pound penalty for his last win but Garth Puller has booked Rachel Venniker with her 1.5kg allowance, so he can follow up. GIMMEFABULOUS (3) has been up against much stronger at recent outings. She takes on males again but looks capable in this field. UZWANO (11) is 1.5kg better off with MOHAVE PRINCE taking in Venniker’s allowance, but he has drawn wide that could make the difference. OFFICER IN COMMAND (8) has been dropping slowly in the ratings, but with a senior jockey aboard he should do better than his last two.
Our tip: 4-3-11-8
Race 6
Bet With Colossus Pools Exclusive On Www.tote.co.za C Stakes
Wide open handicap with only a few of the runners having tried the trip. DAY TWO (9) shed his maiden over the distance and is lightly raced. He showed up well first run out of the maidens on the poly and the switch back to turf could suit. NO PRESSURE (13) was touched off last run and has shown up well in two starts since his maiden win. He should stay this trip well. INTUITIVE SPIRIT (12) stays the trip and has a light weight. He could be the surprise package. GOLD GOLD BABY (11) was narrowly beaten first run out of the maidens. She does stay and has a light weight. ZENA ROSE (10) has improved on her last two, but both were on the poly. She has won on the turf with Keagan De Melo aboard and can feature.
Our tip: 9-13-11-10
Race 7
Lucky Fish Winter Stakes (Grade 3)
Tough handicap. ENFLAME (7) has done very little wrong in recent starts over ground for Candice and Tammy Dawson. He should go close again. TENPENNY (6) disappointed last run in the soft, but prior to that had smart Cape form. Contracted rider JP Van der Merwe rides ahead of NATIVE RULER (2) who has good form in strong company, although yet to go this trip. SHOOT THE RAPIDS (4) stays well and runner-up at his last two. He needs a win as a Hollywoodbets Durban July Gr 1 entry. HOLDING THUMBS (5) may just have needed his last run. This trip will suit and he is a big runner.
Our tip: 7-6-4-5
Race 8
Tote For The Win Class 2
Many in with chances. CATS PAJAMAS (6) will be in line for some of the features in the next two months, but he is a class act. The drop in trip and a big weight may not be enough to hold him back. CIRCUMBENDIBUS (7) has come good in KZN and has been in cracking form. The trip suits and he gets 2.5kg relief from the saddle in apprentice Sifiso Bungane, who knows the gelding well. KING OF THE GAULS (14) has a difficult draw but is quick and cannot be written off. TALK TO THE MASTER (4) is another down in trip, but also in mustard form with a handy weight.
Our tip: 6-7-14-4
Race 9
Hollywoodbets Bright Future Middle Stakes
BLACK EAGLE (9) comes with smart Cape form and Sean Veale knows him well. He was a beaten favourite on the poly last run and can go one better. SERENGETTI SUN (11) is lightly raced and takes on males. However, she ran a smart race behind champion ASIYA PHAMBILI last time out and with a two-pound drop in the handicap, she should at least be competitive in another tough race. MISS WORLD (3) made a winning debut for her new stable over course and distance, only got a three-pound raise in the ratings. She is ultra consistent and can go in again. WARRIOR ROYALE (8) was rested after her last win. She is smart but may just need it.
