SAF - GREYVILLE AW   25 Jun 2025
 
GOING: N

TOTE SCORE 10 OPEN MAIDEN 1200m

Track: AW   Clear (Max: 23)    

Fast pace assured with Di Rosa, Chicago Lass and K M V Retrofit leading the charge. GORGEOUS BOMB (4) was disappointing in her last start over this course and distance when finishing fifth of nine She is fitted with the blinkers and tongue-tie which may assist. She is back against her own sex and looks well placed to return to form. FANTASY LEAGUE (6) was running on well when finishing a close-up fourth of 12 over this course and distance last time. Has each-way claims. DI ROSA (7) stayed on well when fourth of eight over 1000m on this course last time. She hails from the in-form Gareth van Zyl stable. She is back against her own sex and she can finish in the money. DYNASTY'S LAST (8) should have finished closer to the winner last time as she had no luck in the straight. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. With a bit of luck in the running she would not be a shock winner.
