SAF - GREYVILLE   10 Nov 2024
 
GOING: GS

CITADEL FM 70 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 20)    

Radu, Rowins Dream and Sacred Lily to take up the running at a decent tempo. GREENLITEALLTHEWAY (7) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 1600m at Greyville All Weather, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. PINK DIAMOND (4) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1600m at Greyville All Weather, an improvement on her eighth at Scottsville the run before. Nicely placed to finish in the money. SASCHA'S DREAM (6) finished third last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver with strong each-way prospects. FORWARD MOTION (8) ran well below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Well placed in this line-up to make amends.
