GOING:

TO HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE IT'S FRIDAY OPEN MAIDEN 1200m

Track:   Rain (Max: 22)    

Good tempo with several going forward, primarily Run Forest Run, Eli's Chariot and Long Street. FIRELIGHTER (3) finished second last start over 1400m at this track to make it four minor placings from 12 runs. Goes well here with three top-three finishes to his credit. Looks ready for that breakthrough win. LONG STREET (6) just missed last time when a nose away in second at Scottsville over 1200m. Among the main chances. COWDRAY PARK (9) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Michael Roberts. By Legislate from Supernatural. Any push in betting should be respected. THE GOLDEN GOAL (7) finished 6 lengths away in eighth at his last appearance over 1200m at this track on March 7. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
