Greyville (polytrack) Sunday Sep 11 Previews by Andrew Harrison

Race 1

4 LEBANESE TRACTOR   5 ARABIAN PARTY   2 POWER HORSE   1 ICHKERIA

Preview: LEBANESE TRACTOR has been a beaten favourite in her last three. She was beaten a neck last start and from a good draw should make a bold bid. ARABIAN PARTY found good market support at her second start and showed good improvement. She has a wide draw and makes her poly debut but can show further improvement. POWER HORSE showed up will first time on the poly and in blinkers and also boasts consistent form. ICHKERIA has some fair recent form over course and distance but is struggling to improve. (Andrew Harrison: 4-5-2-1).

Race 2

10 LEDIMARINCESS   8 IBTIHAJ   3 FIRES OF CALAIS   4 MANDOLIN

Preview: LEDIMAPRINCESS made a smart debut at long odds. Delpech gets the ride and they meet a weak field. IBTIHAJ found strong market support at her second start and made good improvement. She is sure to come on from that and looks the likely danger. FIRES OF CALAIS looks best on the poly and has a chance while MANDOLIN has shown some ability on the Highveld and could surprise on her poly debut. (Andrew Harrison: 10-8-3-4)

Race 3

3 ROCK HARD   9 PRINCE OF SAVOY   4 LATERAL DANCER   10 GOLD DASH

Preview: ROCK HARD has been disappointing but consistent. He could do better on the poly and tries blinkers for the first time. PRINCE OF SAVOY has some Highveld form to recommend it and should feature in this company. LATERAL DANCER made a fair poly debut and can do better over this shorter trip. GOLD DASH made sudden improvement on the poly after showing nothing on the turf. He has a chance if he can build on his last effort. (Andrew Harrison: 3-9-4-10)

Race 4

1 TAKU WIND   11 VIKING RED   3 ROY’S PAST   10 SEA-PATH

Preview: TAKU WIND goes well on the poly and is rated much higher than the balance of the field. This will be his first trip over ground but he should be hard to beat. VIKING RED improved at his second outing and will much prefer this trip from a good draw. ROY’S PAST was a close-up second over course and distance and has a good chance on a repeat showing. SEA-PATH made no show on debut but will prefer this trip and can improve. (Andrew Harrison: 1-11-3-10)

Race 5

10 FILM STAR   3 WILLOWGRANGE   7 JOY TO JOY   1 ALESNADO

Preview: FILM STAR raced green in a fair debut and from a good draw should improve. WILLOWGRANGE has consistent form over course and distance and should be thereabouts again. JOY TO JOY made a disappointing poly debut after a string of promising efforts on the turf. She may do better at her second run on the poly. ALESNADO ran below her best from a tough draw and can feature is she shows some of her previous form. (Andrew Harrison: 10-3-7-1)

Race 6

2 KOLINSKY   3 PYRENEES IN SPAIN   4 MAGICAL BET   9 SAN JULIAN BAY

Preview: KOLINSKY takes a big drop in class and he has also dropped in the ratings. He looks a big runner. PYRENEES IN SPAIN is long overdue and can have his consistency rewarded. MAGICAL BET has some fair Cape and PE form to back him up and a switch to the poly from a good draw could bring out the best in him. SAN JULIAN BAY made a smart poly debut but does not have the best of the draw. (Andrew Harrison: 2-3-4-9)

Race 7

4 SELVAN’S JET   5 SMART WORLD   6 SAMORA   3 BORN TO RULE

Preview: SELVAN’S JET went down narrowly in a competitive field last time out and has been showing fair form to stronger. SMART WORLD ran well below best on his handicap debut and would appear to be better on the poly. SAMBORA is much better than his last effort. He does look held by Smart World but there should not be much between them. BORN TO RULE was close-up to the well fancied Wealthy last timeout and a repeat can see him go close again. (Andrew Harrison: 4-5-6-3)

Race 8

3 FLYING ROCK   11 DELICIOUS DAMOWIN   5 SHAP SHAP   7 SEA URCHIN

Preview: FLYING ROCK landed the odds on debut over course and distance. He looks to have some scope and can follow up on that win. DELICIOUS DAMOWIN has been knocking at the door for some time now but goes very well over course and distance. With a light weight he should be in the shake-up again. SHAP SHAP was not far back to strong at his last start. He came off a short break and can do better here. SEA URCHIN took on stronger at his last two on the poly. He rates a good chance at best. (Andrew Harrison: 3-11-5-7)

Race 9

7 WIND SINGER   9 RESPECT AT BAY   1 TIMEOUS   10 SAVE THE DAY

Preview: WIND SINGER is possibly better over further but won very well last time out and can follow up. RESPECT AT BAY has been in good form on the turf. She is drawn well here and can feature. TIMEOUS is at home on the poly and was a close-up fifth last run. He has a good draw and a four-claiming apprentice. SAVE THE DAY has some fair Highveld form and can feature. (Andrew Harrison: 7-9-1-10)
