SAF - GREYVILLE   30 May 2026
 
GOING: G

LONSDALE STIRRUP CUP 2400m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 22)    

Strong tempo with Continentalexpress, Go Grayson Go and Dance King leading the charge. CURIOUS GIRL (2) is racing in great heart and has four wins on end, most recently getting home by 1.2 lengths over 2450m in the G2 SA Derby at Turffontein Standside. Has a high cruising speed. The clear one to beat. SAXON DYNASTY (5) scored by half a length last time out over 1900m at this track. All three career wins have been here and expected to measure up again. ROYAL INVITATION (3) drops back to a more suitable journey this time after running below her best last start over 3200m in stakes class at Turffontein Standside. Can bounce back. DANCE KING (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
