Greyville Friday race previews Sep 25 by Andrew Harrison
1
Preview: Wide open. LUCKY BARB is better than her last two. She makes her poly debut and has a chance if she can find her earlier form. MANDOLIN made a fair local debut and has shown some ability on the Highveld. NATIONAL AGENDA made a fair debut but returns from a lengthy break. Delpech rides. MUNGO CHERRY improved nicely second time out and has a chance in this company. (Andrew Harrison: 5-6-4-9)
2
Preview: WINTER IS COMING is knocking hard on the door and it should open here. STORM OUTGOING made a smart debut for his new stable and now tries blinkers. He could prove a big threat to Winter Is Coming. MASTER RUNNER is lightly raced but has some fair Cape form and the switch to poly could bring out the best in him. GOLD DASH has improved back in cheek pieces and can feature. (Andrew Harrison: 6-11-1-8)
3
Preview: LEDIMASPRINCESS drifted in the market last start but was only narrowly beaten. She shows some scope and can go one better. RAES’’ DYNA JET has raced in feature company as a maiden. She has a difficult draw but looks the pick of the Van Zyl trio. TICKY TIN has shown up well of late. She makes her poly debut but can feature. KUDRA made marked improvement last run but Delpech has jumped ship to partner Ledimasprincess which may be telling. (Andrew Harrison: 8-12-5-7)
4
Preview: WESTCHESTER has shown up nicely on the poly at his last two. He is also down in class and can give Liam Tarentaal his first winner. GINGERBRED MAN is a recent maiden winner and took on much stronger in his first run in open company. He can do better in this company. MILLRACE has his third run after a break and has improved with each outing. He also drops in class and has a handy weight. BLUNDERBUSS is back in blinkers and did improve at his last start. (Andrew Harrison: 1-2-6-3)
5
Preview: HARRY DA WHEELS was a beaten favourite in the soft at Kenilworth last time out. He has consistent Cape form and can go close in this line-up. WESKUS KLONG is lightly raced and made a fair local debut. He looks set to improve. TRENDY GUY is never far back. He has consistent recent turf form and the switch to poly could see him find his best. WHAT A SCORCHER has shown his best form on the poly. He has been up against slightly stronger of late and can feature here. (Andrew Harrison: 8-2-10-1)
6
Preview: Open. MARK MY CARD has been showing good form and is due a change of fortune with a claiming apprentice up and a plum draw. WIND SINGER only got gong late last run over a sprint and will much prefer this trip. She has a handy weight and should put in a good effort. PEACH DELIGHT needed her last run and should come on from that. Stable companion LITTLE CHAPEL has excellent form on the poly but has been rested and may need it. OVERLAP is a course and distance specialist but also returns from a short break. (Andrew Harrison: 4-5-3-2)
7
Preview: AIR CHIEF MARSHALL made a promising local debut when send out favourite. He has a good draw and although he makes his poly debut he looks to have a strong chance. DOUBLE CLUTCH has improved with a tongue-tie and goes well on the poly although this may be a touch on the short side. SECRET WARNING has his third start after a short break. He has been up against stronger of late and from a good draw should be right there. THIRTYTWO SQUADRON has just been beaten at his last two over further. He must have a chance in this field. (Andrew Harrison: 7-1-4-2)
8
Preview: MR O’NEILL looks to have some scope and has been running on late in both recent starts. He could do better this trip. ROY’S PAST has been close-up in his last two on the poly and steps up in trip again. PRINCIPATE improved last run and looks to be coming to hand. He makes his poly debut. PATROCLUS has come good on the poly and he should handle the step up in trip. He does have a tricky draw to overcome. (Andrew Harrison: 5-2-6-1)
