TO HOLLYWOODBETS GREYVILLE IT'S FRIDAY OPEN MAIDEN 1200m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 23) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong pace from Run Forest Run, Eli's Chariot and Long Street. LONG STREET (6) showed good speed over this distance at Scottsville last time, before getting outrun late to finish second of 14. Has the 4kg claiming apprentice Mxolisi Mbuto in the saddle and can shed her maiden tag. FIRELIGHTER (3) has finished second in his last two starts, the latest of which was over 1400m on this course. He raced from a handy position last time but found one too good on the day. Can go one better here. COWDRAY PARK (9) is an unraced son of Legislate from the Michael Roberts stable with Rachel Venniker in the saddle. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances. THE GOLDEN GOAL (7) is better than his last two starts would suggest. On best form shown, he would not be a shock winner.
