SAF - GREYVILLE   19 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Bet with Colossus exclusive on www.tote.co.za CLASS 4 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 25)    

Strong tempo with Numzaan and Gotta Go Eddie leading the way over Royal Sword. INDUSTRIALSTRENGTH (4) is worth another try. Struggled on the all weather last time but goes well here. Better than that and best figures stack right up. Can atone. GOTTA GO EDDIE (5) won only try at course and distance and racing well lately. Genuine contender. SPECTACULAR (8) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 2.5 lengths away in sixth over 2000m at Greyville All Weather after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. THUNDERBIRD (2) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths into sixth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
