Greyville Race 2 - Asiye Phambili Maiden Plate
VENCEDOR (1) moved up like a winner over this distance last time before getting caught in the shadow of the post. Rachel Venniker takes 1.5kgs off his back and he jumps from pole position. He should get a good sit in the running and may find himself in the winner's enclosure. PIED PIPER (4) should have finished a lot closer to the winner last time as he hung outwards in the straight. He is a progressive type and if not too green on this track, he should place. DIRECTOR (5) has run three fair races to date. He should love the rise to 1600m. S'manga Khumalo is booked to ride and he may be able to get the best out of him when it matters most. PEMBURY (2) raced wide around the turn last time and understandably did not go on with the effort. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He should enjoy the rise to 1600m and from his good draw of two, he should be finishing in the money.
