Greyville Race 1 - Compliments Of The New Year Maiden Plate (F & M)

WINTER BLESSING (6) finished second, beaten 3.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Greyville All Weather. Likely improver with bright prospects. SARGASSO SEA (8) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Set for a bold return. CAPTAIN VENTURA (1) finished 3.5 lengths away in fifth after being in the firing line on the corner at her last appearance over 1000m at Greyville All Weather on November 16. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. WINTER BELLE (2) is better than recent form suggests. Back in trip and has placed this circuit. Can improve.
