SAF - GREYVILLE AW   16 Oct 2024
 
GOING:

GREYVILLE CONVENTION CENTRE MR 73 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: STANDARD   Clear (Max: 19)    

The speedy trio Bom Bom, Landseer and Zoombomber can set the pace from the outset. KHANYISA INDLELA (4) should have finished closer to the winner last time as he hung outwards in the final 400m. He has won once and finished third once from four starts over this course and distance. He will strip a much fitter horse and if keeping on a straight line, he can notch up his fifth-career victory. LANDSEER (2) fought hard for his maiden victory over this distance on the turf. He takes on stronger rivals but has plenty of scope and should be well up to the task at hand. ZOOMBOMBER (3) is better than his last two starts would suggest. It must be noted that the horse that finished third in his last outing has come out and won since. He has finished second twice and third once from as many starts over this course and distance. On best form shown, he should be competitive. PORFIRIO (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
