SAF - GREYVILLE AW   13 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

THE EQUINE GROUP D STAKES 1200m

Track: STANDARD   Rain (Max: 23)    

Hot pace certain with Lou Lou The Legend, Glamorz and Gaelic Dancer keen to take up the running. GAELIC DANCER (3) showed good speed over 1000m on the Turffontein Inside course last time, before getting outrun late. She takes a drop in class and with Gavin Lerena booked to ride from a good draw of three, she should be the one to beat. BANK STREET (9) ran a good race when third of nine in his stable debut over 1400m on this course. He has won once and finished second once from three starts over this distance. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field and will be mowing down the frontrunners. VICTOR RAIL (5) has fair recent form lines to his credit. Both his career victories have come on this course. Has each-way claims. ONE IRISH ROVER (1) is better than his last start run would suggests as he was reported to be not striding out. He won his only attempt over this course and distance. On his previous two efforts, he should be finishing in the money.
