SAF - GREYVILLE   25 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

GALLOP TV YOUTUBE CHANNEL CLASS 4 1600m

Track:   Rain (Max: 21)    

Plenty of pace from Greenhouse, Givers Grace and Qondanekukhanyeni matching motors ahead of Sparkling Jubilee. FORWARD MOTION (7) set the pace over this trip last time before getting outrun late. She drops back in Class, and Muzi Yeni steps into the saddle. Despite her big weight, she should be the one to beat. ALPHABETTY (8) has finished third in her last two starts. Despite taking a keen hold in the early stages of her last outing, she finished off her race well. She is having her peak run and is one of the leading contenders. SUNSHINE DAY (2) was running on when third over 1200m on this course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She will be at peak fitness and must be considered. SPARKLING JUBILEE (9) ran a fair race here over this distance last time out. She is having her peak run, and with a bit of luck in running, she can finish in the placings.
