Greyville Race 2 - Race Coast - Bright Future For Sa Horse Racing Maiden Plate (F & M)
TRAIL RUNNER (8) Back from a break. Finished 2nd last start at Vaal and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Warrants a bet. BLUE POPPY (3) Narrowly beaten last start at the track. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. DANCING IN DEMARK (10) Came in 5th last time here. Expected to rebound. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Underrated. SOVEREIGN GEM (4) In the money when 3rd last start at this venue. Deserves consideration.
