Greyville (poly) Friday Oct 14 Race Previews by Andrew Harrison

1

Preview: Weak field but AFRICAN SUNBIRD is a smartly bred first timer and doesn’t have to be too good to win here. BABY IN BLACK has shown up well in recent starts over a touch further. She meets little of note here and should be thereabouts. NIGHT AT THE PROMS was backed in to even money favourite last start when tried in blinkers. Her two best efforts have been over course and distance. The blinkers come off and she can make amends. SWISS NOTE has been knocking at the door for some time now and is super fit. She does have a tricky draw to overcome. SHOW ME YOUR ROSIE raced green in a fair debut and is sure to come on with the experience. (Andrew Harrison: 8-2-7-3)

2

Preview: Another weak field. MASTER RUNNER was a distant fourth last start but the winner won by eight lengths. He should come on from that effort. ZINZARA has improved with a tongue-tie and was not far behind the promising Accidental Tourist last outing. She makes her poly debut. ROY’S MONEKY ran well below par at her last start. She had some useful form over further before that and at best will go close. MASTEROFMYDREAMS has improved in blinkers and the extra should suit. (Andrew Harrison: 1-11-12-2)

3

Preview: Wide open. MISS MINVER may just have needed her last outing when sent out favourite. Her two best efforts have been on the poly and she jumps from an inside gate. DANCE CITY QUEEN is down in class and tried further last time out. She has blinkers here and an ace pilot aboard. SOUL OF SPAIN was mush improved first up on the poly and although she has a tricky draw she must have a chance.  ICY SPIRIT showed up well first run out of the maidens and drops in class. She should have a chance in this line-up. (Andrew Harrison: 6-1-9-3).

4

Preview: NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND comes out of a smart formline. He takes on weaker here and a repeat of his latest effort should see him home.  ALDRIC has been in good form on the turf but does go well on the poly. He ran an excellent race at the Vaal last time out and rates a big chance on that showing.  KEPT SECRET has caught the eye at her last two and goes well over course and distance. WINTER DARLING seldom runs a bad race and is at home over course and distance. She should feature in the finish. JASON ARGO has a big weight but smart form over course and distance. (Andrew Harrison:  10-3-7-2).

5

Preview: AL CIBERANO hardly ever runs a bad race and only just failed when tried in blinkers last time out. Anton Marcus gets the ride. OUT MY WAY surprised last run but his two recent outings on the poly have been good. He can go close with this weight. FIRE THE ROCKET is over his best course and distance and found good market support at his last start. PANZA didn’t show in the soft ground at Scottsville but has consistent form before. He will be super fit. FLYING ROCK showed up well first run pout of the maidens but she does take on males. (Andrew Harrison: 4-11-7-8).

6

Preview: Wide open. MASTER OF MISCHIEF is long overdue and was narrowly beaten when taking on stronger at his last start. He also had the worst of the draw that day. He has a lot in his favour here. SOLDIER’S CODE needed his last run. He has useful poly form and with a run under his girth should feature. BIG SI had his consistency rewarded when a narrow winner last start. He has a light weight and can follow up. SELVAN’S JET has a tough draw but has been trying further and the drop in trip could suit. (Andrew Harrison: 2-3-7-8)

7

Preview: DESERT SUNSET has run two crackers on the poly and looks the horse to beat. KINGS LADY has consistent form over course and distance. She takes on males here with a big weight but should be right there. GREATFIVEEIGHT made a promising poly debut and can build on that run. ROY’S ROLLS ROYCE has shown up well in two starts over shorter. Delpech rides. Go close if he stays. (Andrew Harrison: 1-4-7-6)

8

Preview: ZILLA came from well back from a wide draw last time out. She has a handy weight and should be running at them late. MODERNISTA has been touched off at her last two on the poly. With a useful claimer aboard she can go one better. LA VIDA BANCO won well in the soft last time out and prior to that took on males. She has a fair weight but can follow up. MAYBE was a game winner of her last start and with a four-claimer up she must have a good chance on a repeat showing. (Andrew Harrison: 6-4-1-3).

9

Preview: WILD WICKET  made a very tardy start when favourite last time out. Extra will suit and he can make amends. MR O’NEILL has been disappointing after showing early promise. He tries blinkers and may be worth another chance. PRINCIPATE has come to hand of late. He was a close-up second to stable companion Forever last run. ROY’S PAST has come good on the poly and stays the trip. He should feature in the shake-up. AIR SALUTE will much prefer this trip and looks set to improve. (Andrew Harrison: 12-6-7-8)
