Greyville Race 1 - Wsb.co.za Maiden Juvenile Plate
NAVIGATION (7) is a colt by Vercingetorix from the stakes-winner Return Flight on debut. Strong profile and should play a role in the finish. OMKHULU BOSS (8) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1200m at Scottsville. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. TIGER CODY (6) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1000m at Scottsville. Has ability and is among the chances. GOLDEN DIADEM (5) is appearing for the first time. By Gold Standard and is out of the Glen Kotzen stable. Watch the market closely.

Returns from a 43-day let-up. Last start 12th of 14 at this track on March 27 over 1400m, 16 len behind Riff Raff Boy with 60kg at $17. The start before that 3rd in a small field at Scottsville on February 8 over 1000m, 6 len behind Green Energy with 60kg at $41. Nice draw and worth thought.
