Race Preview

Greyville Polytrack, 21.02.2018, Race 2, Gallops, 1600m, Poly, R100.000, 6:30PM

Race Summary: (2)ROY'S NOVICE is holding form, and has a great chance to exit the maiden ranks. (1)GO THULI GO has some well beaten places in Gauteng, but that may be good enough here. (3)VESPER is lightly raced and making steady improvement. (8)LUNGI is best this trip and can earn minor stake.

Greyville Polytrack, 21.02.2018, Race 3, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R89.700, 7:05PM

Race Summary: (3)MARK MY CARD gets going too late, but with a small field and Marcus should be closer to the action. Big chance. (1)KAHULA has good form, but also runs 18 Feb. (2)SHIRLEY VALENTINE can pop up at best.

Greyville Polytrack, 21.02.2018, Race 4, Gallops, 2000m, Poly, R65.000, 7:40PM

Race Summary: (9)BURNBURRY is holding form well on poly, and will go close from pole position. (8)WILLOWGRANGE bounced back to best last time, and will threaten if repeating. Much the same applies to the unreliable (6)EXPRESSO MARTINI. (5)STREETS OF GOLD beat a subsequent easy winner in the maidens and has to be respected. (10)EINA also has to be considered on current form.

Greyville Polytrack, 21.02.2018, Race 5, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R75.000, 8:20PM

Race Summary: (3)TOLTEC has never run unplaced on Poly, and seems sure to be there again. (1)JACKMAN brings solid Gauteng form, and is a runner if effective this surface. (7)ROY'S TAXI came right back to best last time, but is unreliable. (9)SILVER CENT has upset potential.

Greyville Polytrack, 21.02.2018, Race 6, Gallops, 1400m, Poly, R75.000, 8:55PM

Race Summary: (8)STRUMMER is never far off, and may be now be looking for this trip. Each way prospects in open race. (2)SOLDAT just won a Maiden at the Vaal, but could threaten this class. (1)TUSCAN is well drawn, and now back in form, and has a shout again. (11)BELUGA BERRY, (3)VIKING RED, and (7)FANTASY ART are others worth considering.

Greyville Polytrack, 21.02.2018, Race 7, Gallops, 1000m, Poly, R85.000, 9:30PM

Race Summary: (7)TIMEDTOPERFECTION makes her poly debut, but has toe, and could go very well. (3)CLASS ACT has won two of her last three this surface, and is a serious threat. (8)RUSSIAN GIRL is holding form, and has a good apprentice. (1)TWEED VALLEY and (2)VAMPIRELLA are usually not far off.

Greyville Polytrack, 21.02.2018, Race 8, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R80.000, 10:05PM

Race Summary: Not a strong field, and on his latest (1)EMERALD VICTORY will never have a better chance to exit the maiden ranks. (5)VIA CON DIOS has a shout if at very best, while (6)GREENLIGHT GATSBY should do better back on poly. (2)KING'S MUSIC and (3)CAPTAIN COBALT have done enough to have claims as well.

Greyville Polytrack, 21.02.2018, Race 9, Gallops, 1200m, Poly, R80.000, 10:40PM

Race Summary: (5)SEATTLE SILVA went closest in her only previous poly run, and has a top chance. (10)ARCTIC SWIFT is also best on poly, and will be involved if this isn't too sharp. (1)TRAVEL GUIDE and (2)SWEET SHAYNA have both gone close in similar races recently and would not be shock winners.
