Andre Nel could be the yard to follow at Greyville’s polytrack meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) as they have chances with horses who could represent good value.

His Summerveld assistant Byron Foster spoke about all of their runners.

“French Revolution will improve immensely on his last run, which was too short, and we are building him up towards a staying feature.”

“Mehmed’s last run can be ignored, he was ridden too handy. He should improve and will appreciate the extra if he can sit off the pace and run on. We have put the blinkers on as he looks around a lot and he has worked fine in them.”

“Petite Master has run well in two mile races and this is his distance. He will need things to go his way, such as having a good pace. There should be a good pace in this race and he is definitely a quartet horse.

“The Morrigan’s last run can be ignored, she kept on having too much ground to make up from wide draws so we decided to try sending her to the front and it didn’t work. Now she is well drawn, so we can ride her a bit closer without having to use her up.”

“Silver Rose had a setback after his last run. I don’t think he is 100% fit but has shown enough to warrant a good run. I am worried about the kickback coming from off them in his first race on the poly.”
