SAF - GREYVILLE   19 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

GREYVILLE CONVENTION CENTRE CLASS 5 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 25)    

Genuine tempo with K M V Retrofit and Nile The Boss up front. GOLDEN ANGEL (5) was an easy winner two back then not far away latest. Coming back in trip and worth another chance. COPACABANA (8) made late ground and finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in sixth last start over 1400m at Greyville All Weather, an improvement on her seventh at this track the run before. This doesn't look as hard so she is set to turn things around. AMAFORT (7) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1200m at Greyville All Weather, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths when she worked home well. Nicely placed to take this out. BLIND SPEED (3) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at Greyville All Weather, finishing third and beaten 1.4 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a bold display.
