Course and distance suit class riser Rooster Bradshaw

Nov 25 South Africa (Greyville) preview

- 

RACE 1 (1,600M)

(2) SWORD SPEED started at long odds on debut and was narrowly beaten. He has the best of the draws and can go one better.

(5) CHRISTMAS CACTUS has shown up well in two outings and the experience should hold him in good stead.

(13) DOUBLE CAUSEWAY has a difficult gate but was not far back on debut and can feature.

(4) RED CARDINAL has shown some ability and had to negotiate a wide draw last time. He has a better gate this time.

RACE 2 (1,600M)

Paul Lafferty saddles the consistent (6) FORWARD MOTION who has been in mustard form of late.

(4) ICE RAIN's last two wins have been on the Poly but she is comfortable over the trip. She touched off subsequent Lafferty-trained

winner Alannah at her last start and got only a two-point raise in the handicap.

(5) GIMMEFABULOUS was not far behind in her first run back from a long break. She was in top company last run and has a big weight but can progress enough to be a serious contender.

(1) JEANNE DARC has the best of the draws and is never far back.

RACE 3 (1,400M)

(2) ROOSTER BRADSHAW is up in class but takes a corresponding drop in the weights. He goes well over course and distance and should be competitive.
