Greyville Race 4

Festive Flutter D Stakes

Prize Money: $7,582

Good race. SWEETER THAN HONEY (2) lifted strongly to score this class last time. Has a good record this course and distance no reason she cannot salute again. KING BAVARIAN (3) turned in a good run last time to place but meets winner worse at the weights. Senior rider on though and has good early pace. Take catching. PIED PIPER (9) was thereabouts last time over a mile. Has enough pace to lead these. Give a sight over the longer journey. COUNCILLOR (11) was having just third start and scored a nice maiden win latest and has good upside. Can measure up again.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start ran last of 11 at this track on October 31 over 2400m, 14 len behind Rodriguez carrying 55.5kg at $76. The start before that ran last of 10 at Greyville All Weather on September 24 over 2000m, 16 len behind Syx Hotfix with 55kg at $101. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.

Most recently second last of 7 at Greyville All Weather on November 16 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Ombudsman carrying 49.5kg at $6.50. The start before that won by 1.1 len at this track October 12 over 1600m defeating Green Glow with 58kg at $11. Thereabouts last time over a mile. Has enough pace to lead these. Give a sight over the longer journey.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; won by 0.8 len at Greyville All Weather November 16 over 1900m defeating Window To My Soul carrying 53.5kg at $2.10. The run before that 2nd of 11 at Vaal on October 14 over 1800m, 2.25 len behind Ethical with 57kg at $3.30. Nice maiden win latest and has good upside. Can measure up again.
