Greyville Race 4 - WSB Casino At Its Best Conditions Plate

Terrific race with plenty of form at the top level. NOTE TO SELF (3) is a promising type who was Grade 1 placed in the Cape Derby before a spell. Yet to miss the frame in six runs and should go close this line-up. EIGHT ON EIGHTEEN (6) is a three time Grade 1 winner who has placed 3/4 fresh. Expected to feature. OKAVANGO (5) wasn't far away last start at the top level and has a great record at the mile. Has fitness and looks a big chance. MOCHA BLEND (7) was a Grade 1 winner of the Summer Cup before a spell and has placed 3/4 fresh. Expected to run well.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at Scottsville in LR on April 5 over 1750m, 4.5 len behind Field Marshal with 53.5kg at $11. The race before that 7th of 14 at this track on March 22 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Winter Games with 60kg at $9. Rather invest elsewhere.
