SAF - GREYVILLE   06 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

RACE COAST CLASS 4 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 20)    

Plenty of pressure from King Of Numbers, Griffin Park and Dont Judge battling for the lead over Wing Walker. SEA SHANTY (8) hails from the visiting Mark Khan stable. His recent form has been good. He challenged strongly over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course last time but found one too good on the day. Well placed here to go one better. KING OF NUMBERS (1) ran a good race when third of nine over this distance at Turffontein last time. He is likely to race on the speed from pole position and may be hard to peg back. WING WALKER (5) followed up his maiden win with a hard-fought victory over 1200m on the polytrack last start. He should have no issues with the rise to 1400m and can notch up the hat-trick. SWEEPER KEEPER (6) is better than his last start run at Scottsville would suggest as the jockey reported something to be amiss in running. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he can finish in the money.
