SAF - GREYVILLE AW   01 Aug 2025
 
GOING: N

GALLOP TV PROGRESS PLATE 1200m

Track: AW   Clear (Max: 19)    

Keen speed battle, with Kumemori, Mr Henley and Chocolate Bomb prominent. MR HENLEY (6) was doing his best work late when third over 1000m on this course last time out when resuming from a spell. He has won three times, finished second twice and third twice from eight starts over this course and distance. He will strip much fitter and can return to winning form. BOURBON WARRIOR (9) set the pace over this course and distance last time but found one too good on the day. He is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back. KUMEMORI (7) stayed on well when sixth over this course and distance last time. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. With a bit of luck from his wide draw can finish in the placings. CHOCOLATE BOMB (2) finished out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Scottsville. Jumping from an inside draw and in a fitter state can fall into a place.
