Greyville Race 3 - Live It. Love It. Own It. Maiden Plate (F & M)
LILTING SONG (6) did a good job last start to finish second at Greyville All Weather over 1600m, beaten 1.1 lengths. Big chance to score. RED TAFFETY (5) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1600m at Kenilworth after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has the talent to find the winners' list. PRINCESS TRIPPI (9) finished third last time over 1400m at Scottsville, beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. LAST OVATION (8) turned in a moderate debut over 1400m at Scottsville on February 15 when she was safely held in tenth, 9 lengths from the winner. Plenty of scope for improvement. Can feature in the finish.
