Good pace from Hoodwinked, Griffin Park and Diamond Jim going forward. RHYTHM (11) is back at the races for the first time since January 9. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1000m at Fairview All Weather. Rates highly and should take some beating. TEEREX (14) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 1300m at Fairview All Weather. Bavish Soodoo who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to run well. NIGHTJAR (10) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Greyville over 1800m on December 13 2024. Has switched to the Tara Laing yard. Sure to make his presence felt. HOODWINKED (8) returns from a spell of 15 months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Greyville over 1200m when first-up last time in work.
