Greyville Race 1

Sabc Maiden Juvenile Plate

Prize Money: $12,637

BLIZZARD QUEST (3) made the expected natural improvement when second over 1160m at Turffontein last time. He resumes from a spell during which time he was gelded. He will love the rise to 1600m and if not in need of the run he should prove hard to beat. MATCHA MINT (2) has placed in all three runs to date. She found one too good on the day over this distance last time. Richard Fourie is booked to ride and she should give the males a decent run for their money. BLACKJACK RANDALL (1) returns from a spell during which time he was gelded. His penultimate run when third over 1000m at Scottsville was encouraging. If jumping on terms,he should have a say in the outcome of this contest. LUNAR DESCENT (4) showed good improvement when fourth over this distance at Scottsville last time. The manner in which he stayed on at the finish was encouraging. If confirming his recent improvement, he should be finishing in he top-three.
