SAF - GREYVILLE   03 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

GALLOP TV CLASS 5 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 20)    

Loads of pressure, primarily from Roy Taking Off, Sky Velocity and Pink Diamond. AMAFORT (6) has shown good signs of a form return in her last two starts. She stayed on strongly against the males over 1400m at Scottsville last time. She should have no issues with the rise to 1600m and may find herself in the winner's enclosure. COPACABANA (9) ran a good race when third over 1400m at Scottsville last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She won her maiden over this distance and with luck in the running, she should be competitive. MY TRUE LOVE (12) has fair recent form lines to her name. With a bit of luck from the widest draw, she can place. CASSANDRA (7) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better on the day over 1600m at Scottsville. Well worth considering.
