Punters to make merry
THERE is an eight race meeting on the Greyville poly tomorrow and punters look to have more opportunities at a venue that produced favourable results last week.
The first is a competitive maiden over 1200m and Mr McSteamy could be the one to beat from a good draw.
He showed good pace over this distance at Scottsville last time, having done well over further before that in two turf races.
Destined For Dawn has been knocking on the door and should get another place over a course and distance he loves.
Roy's Gul Gul Ha has gone close over course and distance before and as a hard knocking, distance suited sort should be thereabouts from a good draw with a 4kg claimer up. King Django could win this if able to overcome his wide draw. Bagger Vance could improve on his fair debut.
Super Sonic is an interesting Mike de Kock-trained Australian-bred firsttimer by the good sire High Chaparal.
In the second over 1200m Mamdooha is an interesting Sheik Hamdan-owned Australian-bred ridden by Anton Marcus and she wouldn't have to be special to win this race. Cronological is improving and could earn from a good draw.
Paix Embleme could earn if repeating her best run over course and distance in which she beat Westerly Wind but the rest of her form is poor. Westerly Wind, Classy Chic and Elusive Lady have to be considered.
In the third over 1600m Grey's A Rockin is a hard knocker who always seems to find one better but he has faced some fair sorts and this could be a good opportunity.
Seattle Wolf made a good debut over 1400m and will be a big threat with natural improvement.
Roy's Rolls Royce will appreciate this step back in trip having pulled over 1800m last time out and Marcus is up.
Red Rebel stayed on behind a good sort over over this trip on the turf and should be thereabouts if able to find a comfortable position from a wide draw. Groovy News has a 4kg claimer up and makes most appeal of the rest.
In the fourth over 1600m Queen Of Thrones is presented with a good opportunity over her probable best trip with Marcus aboard.
Brian Wiid’s success in raiding this venue could continue with Eye The Countess who ran a fair race in a stronger field than this on the Turffontein Inside track and now has Andrew Fortune up.
Princess Varunya ran well over 1400m here last time and should appreciate the step up in trip.
In the fifth over 1600m Roy's Winter Patch was unlucky last time against a stronger field than this over course and distance and looks to be better than his merit rating suggests.
Burnt Orange ran a good race over this trip at Scottsville last time despite coughing and could be involved as he has a strong finish and won't be inconvenienced by the wide draw. Gulliver's Travel could earn and others to consider are Military Leader and Fantasy Art.
In the sixth over 1600m King Jace has been in fine form and could be the one to beat.
Tell The Tale looks to be a fair sort and Jet Masters love this surface so he should be thereabouts.
Charles Laird always has them fit upon their returns and Stormy Eclipse should go close over the suitable 1600m with Marcus up. Cat In Command has an excellent record over course and distance and should be involved.
The Brian Wiid raider National Key is only two points higher after his good win over 1400m at Turffontein and he will enjoy this trip in the fine hands of Fortune.
In the seventh over 1400m Private Dancer made an eye catching winning debut over 1200m and will appreciate the step up in trip.
Intergalactic looks a fair sort and could follow up on her easy win over 1600m on the poly, especially considering the form has been franked.
Taking Chances has run some fine races over shorter, including one on the poly, and on pedigree should enjoy this trip. Ire de Fiesta is an honest sort who has won over course and distance.
Ninefold has been disappointing and now has something to prove, but she can't be discounted.
In the last over 1200m, Victoria's Love was hampered last time over course and distance and could make amends here.
National King has dropped to an attractive merit rating and should be right there. There is not much between him and Risky Rosco, but the latter does have a tougher draw to overcome.
