SAF - GREYVILLE AW   09 Oct 2024
 
GOING:

GREYVILLE CONVENTION CENTRE MAIDEN HANDICAP 1900m

Track: STANDARD   Clear (Max: 23)    

Plenty of early pace on show, particularly from Brave Bomber, Nantes Festival and Chill In The Air. AMOR FATI (4) finished second last time out over 1400m at this track, making it two career minor placings. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this course. Ideally placed to open his account. CHILL IN THE AIR (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Scottsville, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Likely improver with strong prospects. BRAVE BOMBER (1) is a three-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent outing over 1600m at Scottsville. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. RACING BOY (6) was beaten 17 lengths into tenth in a 1950m contest at Scottsville at his latest appearance. No surprise to see him in contention.
