Greyville Race 3 - Bet With Colossus Exclusive On Www.tote.co.za Class 4

MAPHAKA (8) deserves a win. Placed four of last five. Hit the line hard last time as favourite but found one better. Well placed to take this out. FORTRESS OF FIRE (9) has strong form at the trip and going well this time in including a fresh-up win. Rates highly on recent figures. MUSIC IS LIFE (6) is a serious threat. Best is good enough for this. Overdue for another win and bold run is expected. LIONS EYE (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Scottsville, beaten 2 lengths into fifth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. Something for the Multiples: PHUTULICIOUS (3)
