Greyville Race 2 - Www.tabgold.co.za Open Maiden
TREND MAKER (1) was his own worst enemy over 1400m last time as he over raced in the early stages. His debut effort when second of eight over this distance on the turf was encouraging. The son of Potala Palace has ability and if taking to the polytrack, he may be the one to beat from pole position. ONE ARMED BANDIT (12) showed good speed over this distance at Scottsville last time before getting outrun late, finishing third of 13. The blinkers seem to have done the trick. Deryl Daniels is likely to adopt the same tactics and he may be hard to peg back. RIVER DANCE (11) has fair recent form lines to his credit. With a bit of luck in the running after jumping from a wide gate, he can figure in the finish. HIGHER LOVE (7) should have finished closer than third over 1400m at Scottsville last time as his jockey dropped his whip with 150m to run. Rates well as an each-way chance.

Gelding back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation seventh of 10 at Greyville October 27 over 1200m, 12 len behind Lions Eye with 60kg at $17. When resuming last campaign ninth of 13 at Scottsville August 25 over 1000m, 9 len behind Immah carrying 56.0kg at $51. A big run will not surprise.
