SAF - GREYVILLE AW   13 Nov 2024
 
GOING: N

WSB MET 25 Jan 2025 MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 22)    

Fast tempo assured with Star Of The Future, Richardthefearless and See My Future going at each other early in the piece. STAR OF THE FUTURE (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Greyville over 1800m. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. GIMMETHEGOODLIFE (4) finished out of the placings last start when resuming on turf at Greyville over 1200m. On a synthetic track for the first time. Fitter and can improve. SEE MY FUTURE (3) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1600m at Greyville on October 13. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. FORTUNE HUNTER (8) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Greyville, beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
