SAF - GREYVILLE AW   01 Aug 2025
 
GOING: N

TOTE FOR THE WIN D STAKES 1200m

Track: AW   Clear (Max: 19)    

Plenty of pressure on from the outset. BANK STREET (5) has finished third in both his starts on this course. He was running on over this distance last time. He meets a similar line-up here and from his handy draw of five can return to winning form. BLUSH OF DAWN (2) has finished second in her last two starts over this course and distance. She is likely to go forward from her good draw of two and may be hard to peg back with 4kgs claiming apprentice Mxolisi Mbuto back in the saddle. GORGEOUS DUDE (1) finished seventh over 1400m at this track last start and was then put out for a spell. Fresh-up jumping from the inside draw can place. L'ULTIMO (7) resumes from a spell. Started last prep with a third of eight over 1400m at Greyville and is a must include in combinations.
