Greyville Race 5 - Zulu Kingdom Explorer Golden Slipper (Grade 2)
GIMMIE'S COUNTESS (7) probably should have won her last start in Grade 1 company after being held up on a couple of occasions. She has experience around a bend and with a clear run this time, she should set the record straight. QUID PRO QUO (1) has won her last 3 starts including her most recent race at Grade 1 level thanks to a beautiful ride from S'manga Khumalo. She draws the pole position and if she handles the bend safely, she is the obvious threat to the top pick. LITTLE BALLERINA (11) won as a prohibitive favourite at the Vaal last time out. She has copped a wide gate but is too good to ignore. WHISTLE THE TUNE (2) won her last run at Stakes level last start and even though she meets a very strong field here, she is capable from her good draw to finish in the money again.

Allan Robertson Championship winner. Going well. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start won by a neck at Scottsville G1 Allan Robertson Championship June 1 over 1200m defeating Rodeo Drive carrying 60kg at $4. The run before that scored a big 4 len win at Scottsville April 14 over 1200m defeating Whistle The Tune carrying 60kg at $3. Likely to go well from the rails draw.

Second-up 4th of 11 at Scottsville in the G1 Allan Robertson Championship on June 1 over 1200m, 0.7 len behind Quid Pro Quo with 60kg at $3. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign second of 9 at Turffontein Standside April 27 over 1600m, a head behind World Of Alice carrying 60kg at $5.50. On debut sixth of 9 at Vaal March 7 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Across The Pond carrying 60kg at $34. Not good enough for these.

Recent form sound. Last start favourite; won by 2.25 len at Turffontein Standside June 9 over 1400m defeating World Of Alice with 60kg at $1.90. The start before that favourite; scored a big 6 len win at Turffontein Standside May 18 over 1400m defeating Frozen Fantasy carrying 60kg at $3.80. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
