TAB multiple the way to go at Greyville

Marcus’ rich vein of form to continue

- By Racing Editor

A TAB All To Come bet is the suggested bet today, featuring a win on Roy’s Flute in Race 2, a win on Roy’s Vogue in Race 3 and places on Spring In Seattle in Race 5 and Shantytown in Race 7.

Roy’s Flute is widely drawn at No 10 in the FM Maiden Plate over 1600m on the Polytrack, but her latest Polytrack efforts suggest she is most lethal on the surface having only missed the money once in her last four attempts. On form, she is more than ready to leave maiden ranks.

Kumaran Naidoo’s charge is improving drasticall­y – her last three outings bringing a second and two thirds.

She was victim to the widest draw of all in her latest performanc­e, however, wasn’t disgraced finishing just 4.55 lengths third behind Live In Love in a 2000m contest. In her defence, 2000m proved a touch too far – she will be competitiv­e dropping back 400m.

She appears better than her merit rating of 64, plus has the best form in the field - if she overcomes the wide No 10 draw should have absolutely no issues outclassin­g this rather moderate field. For BiPot players, this daughter of Al Miqdaam is a worthy banker.

Jockey Anton Marcus is in scintillat­ing form, winning races left, right and centre of late. Following him results in a profit and today should be no different when he pilots Roy’s Vogue in Race 3, a FM 76 Handicap over 2000m.

You can put a line through her post-maiden effort considerin­g she was reported as not striding out and coughing.

She was unfortunat­ely bumped at the 200m in her last outing when impressive­ly running on strongly to finish second, beaten just 2.25 lengths by Lady Li Lay.

It was a run full of merit considerin­g she was returning from a threemonth stint off the racetrack.

She’ll be in fine fettle today, and jumping from an advantageo­us No 3 drawn and shoudering a modest 58.5kg should prove one of the safest bets on the card. If you’re looking to go light in the Place Accumulato­r, she is all you need.

Champion jockey and current National Jockeys log leader Anthony Delpech has Eachway chances aboard Spring In Seattle in Race 5 and Shantytown in Race 7 – however, to be safe take place bets in your multiple featuring the pair.
