SAF - GREYVILLE AW   23 Feb 2026
 
GOING: N

BET WITH TOTE OPEN MAIDEN 1600m

Track: AW   Rain (Max: 28)    

With little in the way of early speed Praise De La Rey may well find the front. LILTING SONG (2) was below her best last time, finishing eighth and beaten 10 lengths over 1800m at Kenilworth. This easier than recent starts. Nicely placed to put the record straight. VAANS SPIRIT (6) faced the starter for the first time and finished sixth last start at Scottsville over 1200m, beaten 6 lengths. Got back but ran on hard on debut. Better for the run and can improve sharply. FUTURE PROSPECT (4) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished tenth at Scottsville over 1200m, beaten 7 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. CALI BULLET (8) was beaten 5 lengths into fourth in a 1600m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Better than recent efforts suggest.
