SAF - GREYVILLE AW   22 Jun 2025
 
GOING: N

CLIFTON STUD KWAZULU-NATAL BREEDERS 1200 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 21)    

Expecting a strong pace from the outset with plenty of speed engaged. DISTING (1) was her own worst enemy over this distance on the turf last time as she over raced in the early stages. She has loads of ability and if putting her best foot forward from pole position, she should give the males a decent run for their money. PROUD MASTER (2) is better than his recent form would suggest. He has won six times from nine starts over this course and distance. On best form, he would not be a shock winner. SILVER TUDOR (9) is better than his last start run over this distance at Scottsville. He has won once, finished second twice and third twice from seven starts over this distance. With a bit of luck in the running, he can place. TARA STAR (5) has decent recent form lines to her credit. It is encouraging that Richard Fourie has kept faith in the ride. Each-way claims.
