SAF - GREYVILLE AW   13 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

NEW TURF CARRIERS CLASS 3 1400m

Track: STANDARD   Rain (Max: 23)    

Good tempo with several going forward, primarily Strathclyde, Voldemort and Mexican Pete. MEXICAN PETE (3) stayed on well at the finish after losing a length at the start last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. It is encouraging that Muzi Yeni retains the ride and if jumping on terms, he can win a race of this nature. PLAZA ACCORD (2) tried hard when finishing second of 10 over this distance at Scottsville last time. He meets a similar line-up and merits healthy respect. ROSH KEDESH (11) was an easy winner of his last start over this distance at Scottsville. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He takes on stronger rivals but is in a good space and can't be ignored. STRATHCLYDE (9) resumed from a spell last start and stayed on well after setting the pace over this distance at Scottsville last time. He won his only attempt over this course and distance. He will strip much fitter and can place.
