Greyville Race 6 - Umzimkhulu Stakes (Grade 3) (3 Year-Old Fillies)
GIMMIE'S COUNTESS (1) should have finished closer in Grade 3 company last time out as she had to be switched for running room in the latter stages. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. She is the highest-rated horse in this contest and should return to winning ways. WARRIOR ROYALE (7) won a good race fresh up over this distance at Scottsville. Two of her victories have come on this course. She is in a good space and is one of the leading contenders. GREEN SAPPHIRE (2) won a good race over 1160m at Turffontein last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. Gavin Lerena retains the ride, and the pair merit healthy respect. REGENERATION (4) showed some signs of needing her last start over this distance at Scottsville. She would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Include in all multiples.

Useful type. Comes off a 34 day let-up. Most recently 5th of 10 at Kenilworth in G3 on February 22 over 1400m, 1.4 len behind Siddeley carrying 55.5kg at $4.30. The start before that 3rd of 11 at Kenilworth in the G2 Sceptre Stakes on January 4 over 1200m, 3 len behind Asiye Phambili carrying 55.5kg at $3.30. Not a bad effort last time and is open to improvement.
