SAF - GREYVILLE AW   16 Jul 2025
 
GOING: N

GREYVILLE CONVENTION CENTRE CLASS 4 1200m

Track: AW   Clear (Max: 21)    

Good pace from Fate Of Fortune, Intrepid and Preemptive Strike and they'll have company. PREEMPTIVE STRIKE (3) finished third of nine over 1400m last time. Five of his six career victories have come over this course and distance. He is slowly returning to best form and in this field, he may be the horse to beat. MASTERBLING (6) is better than his last start run over this course and distance would suggest. His best form has come under Jockey Siphesihle Hlengwa. Has each-way claims. FATE OF FORTUNE (2) won a game race over 1200m on this course last time when resuming from a spell. He has won twice and finished second once from as many starts over this course and distance. He will strip much fitter and with just 53.5kgs on his back, he cannot be ignored. WING WALKER (1) was an easy winner of his last start over this course and distance. He takes on stronger rivals but has plenty of scope and should be well up to the task at hand.
