Weight won't stop Green Glow from three-in-a-row

South Africa (Greyville) preview

- 

RACE 1 (1,200M)

The question is how long will (6) XIPHOS take to shed his maiden.

He has had numerous chances but tends to run out of gas the last bit. Rachel Venniker gives him some relief from the saddle that will help but he clearly cannot be relied upon.

(4) GORGEOUS BOMB has shown some recent improvement and with only 50.5kg to shoulder she could finally run them out of it.

(5) SUSURRANDO was most disappointing when starting favourite last time as Fine Dining made all. He could prove better this shorter trip.

(1) QUINCY TOWN looks held on current form but has a more experienced rider aboard.

RACE 2 (1,000M)

(7) MALSHANA MOU is lightly raced but was narrowly beaten over course and distance last time out. Craig Zackey stays with the ride and she can go one better.

(3) BERRINGTON BLEW is also lightly raced and raced green at her latest outing. The blinkers go on, so watch for any market support.

(4) SUN IN MY POCKET came in for a lot of support at her last start but did not finish off her race. She is seldom too far back and the betting support must be respected.

(2) SOL E SOMBRA was very green on debut in quite a competitive maiden. She can surprise.

RACE 3 (1,600M)

(1) BLACK PLATINA is struggling for his maiden win but has been knocking on the door. He has been closeup at his last two and with a 4kg claimer up from the best of the draws, he can get it right.
