Greyville Friday Oct 28 (polytrack) Race Previews by Andrew Harrison
Race 1
MOMO has gone close in both starts over course and distance. She takes on males but looks to have a big chance in this line-up. DOUBE VISION has finally come to hand with a much improved effort last time out. He has a strong chance here. MASTEROFMYDREAMS has been much improved on the poly and should go close in this field. ROY’S DISPREN should also be right there if repeating his last effort. (Andrew Harrison: 12-2-3-4)
Race 2
SUN DYNASTY has had two starts for his new stable. He was close-up over course and distance last time out and rates a strong chance in a very poor field. PINBALL improved nicely at second time of asking and can feature. SARACEN KING has run his two best races on the poly and should have a chance here. RAINBOW FOREST has not been too far back in his three outings to date and can place. (Andrew Harrison: 1-10-4-5)
Race 3
NORTHERN STORM has shown some useful form in strong company. The blinkers go back on and this is another weak field. At best she rates the one to beat. BUBBLY NIGHT has had two comeback runs on the turf. His best efforts have been on the poly. SHE DONE GOOD has improved without blinkers. She has a good draw and a handy weight. IMPERIAL TOPAZ has her first run for a new stable. She returns from a break. (Andrew Harrison: 7-8-5-9).
Race 4
FLORRICK has come good on the poly in blinkers. She was a beaten odds-on chance last time out and can make amends. ARCTIC SWIFT found good market support at her second start and is likely to improve with Marcus jumping ship from Florrick. BLACK HALL BAR has been disappointing. She tried further from a bad draw last run and now has a good draw over a more suitable trip. ARGONOVA improved nicely over course and distance at her second outing and can feature. (Andrew Harrison: 8-1-4-9)
Race 5
Wide open. RUBY GEM has a difficult draw but has good form on the poly and comes from an in form yard. COASTAL SPELL has her third run after a break and takes a drop in class. With a claiming apprentice up and a good draw she should feature. SEEK THE SUMMIT has been knocking at the door. She has dropped eleven pounds in the handicap and should be competitive now. LA VIDA BANCO takes a rise in class but has improved of late and seems best over this trip. (Andrew Harrison: 3-5-10-8).
Race 6
ASHTON PARK has a big weight but has drawn well and he can improve over this trip. CELTIC CAPTAIN didn’t feature in the 28-horse field of the Grand Heritage but made a smart poly debut before that.FRENCH REVOLUTION has come good of late. He does take a rise in class but has a handy weight. PRINCESS VARUNYA is a smart filly and caught the eye when returning from a break. She has a fair weight but should feature. (Andrew Harrison: 1-6-9-3)
Race 7
Wide open.LUCKY LUCIANO has been up against stronger on the Highveld. He makes his poly debut and from a good draw should be thereabouts. FOR EVER has finally come to hand. He only got a three-pound penalty for his last win and with a claiming apprentice up this time around he can go in again. ROCKEFELLER was close-up to For Ever last time out and he too now has a claiming apprentice up which should make him competitive. SMART WORLD does his best on the poly and although draw wide he also has a light weight. (Andrew Harrison: 2-7-10-9).
Race 8
PRINCIPATE was close-up behind Black Forest in the race won by O’Neill and is much improved since trying the poly. BLACK FOREST was much improved at his second start. He has a tricky draw here but a repeat showing should see him close again. There should be little between these two. PLAY THE LAFF improved at his second outing and will much prefer this trip. ROY’S FLYER needed his last start badly after a long lay-off. He has shown ability. (Preview: 8-11-12-1)
