SAF - GREYVILLE   11 May 2024
 
GOING: G

WSB Thanks you for joining us MR 87 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 23)   True  

Expecting a strong pace from the outset with plenty of speed engaged. B FIFTYTWO (1) won by a neck last time out over 1000m at Greyville All Weather when having his second tun this prep. He jumps from the inside gate and should go close to repeating the dose. SAVANTRIX (6) resumes from a spell and having won fresh-up previously is well worth considering. DONQUERARI (4) has place claims following a last start fourth of 11 over 400m at this track. Has recorded three wins at this distance and rates well as a leading chance. LOVE IN WINTER (7) finished third of nine over 1000m at this track last start when well supported. Looks close to a winning run and is well worth considering.
