SAF - GREYVILLE   10 Nov 2024
 
GOING: GS

ABSTO MAIDEN PLATE 1900m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 20)    

Baltic Assayer, Hurricane Flight and Call Me Harriet to take up the running at a decent tempo. QUEEN OF THE AIR (8) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1400m at this track when third, beaten 5.5 lengths. Will benefit from that experience so she should pay to follow. MOCHA BLEND (7) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in third on debut last start over 1400m at Greyville All Weather. Likely improver so she shouldn't be a maiden for long. FLYING HAFLA (4) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish third, beaten 0.6 lengths, at this track over 1800m. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will be in this for a long way. CALL ME HARRIET (3) finished 3 lengths away in fourth at her last appearance over 1700m at Greyville All Weather on October 16. Looks to be in the right race to finish in the money.

Comes here off a 42-day let-up. At the latest run 8th of 12 at this track on September 29 over 2000m, 11 len behind Queen Amina with 56kg at $81. The start before that 8th of 11 at Scottsville on September 8 over 1400m, 7 len behind Blind Speed carrying 57kg at $101. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.
