Greyville Race 1 - Welcome To Hollywoodbets Greyville Maiden Plate
SON OF RAFEEF (3) has wound up strongly at both career starts to finish runner-up at each. Extra trip a plus and looks hard to hold out again. THE MARQUEE (8) was a close-up second on debut then found the line hard for a close-up fourth last time. Another who looks aided by the extra ground. CHRISTMAS CACTUS (4) was run off legs on debut but charged home late. Will relish the extra ground. GREATEST HIT (7) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1200m at this track, finishing third and beaten 5.5 lengths. Has ability and worth including.
