Greyville Race 6 - Durban Golden Horseshoe (Grade 2)
GREAT PLAINS (10) was a very impressive winner at Stakes level last start when overcoming a slow start and then storming home late to score comfortably. He has a sharp turn of foot and can win again, despite a wide draw. PROCEED (14) was a good winner in Group 1 company last time out and the manner in which he finished that race off suggests that he will have no trouble with the step up to 1400 metres. He only needs the right run to complete a hat-trick of wins. COSMIC SPEED (2) pushed the second pick close last time out and could have even finished closer had he not hung in during the final stages. He has a good draw and can't be ruled out of winning this. TRUTH (11) could not have been more impressive when winning his last start and made it 2 wins on the bounce. He rises sharply in grade here but has untapped potential and should give a good account of himself.
