Greyville Race 2 - In The Box Seat Podcast Brought To You By Gallop Tv Mdn Plate (F & M)
ABBEY'S WORLD (6) Right up there last time at Scottsville and good career start. In good condition this campaign. Should be in the finish. MIST IN MARYLAND (4) Right up there last start at this venue. One of the major players. QUERARISTINYFERARI (3) Resuming after a spell. Lacklustre showing when 10th last run at this venue. Coming to a new trainer. Worth strong consideration. MEKONG (5) Below expectations when 9th last run here and has to cope with a weight increase. Should jump out and bowl along. Looks to have a good chance of placing.

Returns from a six-month spell with a modest maiden profile to overcome. She ended last campaign fifth in a FM MPLTE at Turffontein Standside, beaten five and a half lengths at big odds, after a distant third at Vaal when also at long odds. One placing from three tries around 1000m gives some grounding for this, but her overall one placing from eight starts leaves her with plenty to find.

Was safely held on debut at Scottsville, finishing second last in an MPLTE after starting at long odds and being beaten over 15 lengths by Barry's Boy. She is open to natural second-up improvement, but there was no clear excuse in that first run and she has already been unplaced at this distance. The class drop is some help, though a sharp lift is required.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a well-held last in a 2yo MPLTE at this track, having also been eighth at Greyville Aw when near the top of betting but easing. Her overall record is still winless, but two placings around 1000m and the top distance profile in this field keep her in minor calculations if she returns in better order.

Was second last at this track last week, beaten seven and a half lengths by National Insignia in an MPLTE after starting at big odds. The run prior at Scottsville was more respectable when fifth and beaten three and a half lengths, but she was unwanted in betting there too. Blinkers go on and the apprentice claim helps, yet recent form says she must improve markedly.

Returns from a six-week freshening in strong maiden form, having run second at Scottsville at her past two starts. She was beaten a long neck by Theleia last start as a well-supported favourite after firming, and two back she had Mist In Maryland behind her when runner-up to Egolee. The 1000m is new, but her consistency and rider record make her a major winning chance.

Improved to fourth at Greyville Aw last start, although she was still beaten seven lengths by Predator's Crown after attracting some support despite long odds. Her previous tenth at Scottsville behind Theleia was only fair, and Abbey's World has a stronger recent line through that race. A prior placing around 1000m keeps her a place hope, rather than a confident win play.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a quiet debut at Scottsville, where she finished 13th in a FM MPLTE and was beaten just under ten lengths at long odds. She is with a strong trainer-jockey combination for this venue, but the race evidence is thin and she has not raced around 1000m. Considerable improvement is required second-up.

Returns off a two-month let-up after producing her best result when third at Scottsville, beaten just under three lengths by Sistership despite starting at long odds. She had been safely held over 1200m the run prior, but the latest effort and a placing from her only start at this distance are important positives. First-time blinkers add interest, and she has genuine winning claims.

Returns from a four-month break after a debut ninth at Scottsville, where she started at big odds and was beaten just under four lengths by Turn To The Law in a 2yo MPLTE. That margin was sound enough for a first outing, and the 4kg apprentice claim is a useful offset on return. With only one run behind her, she profiles as an improving place hope with upside.

Returns from a six-week break with two plain runs behind her, the latest a 12th at Scottsville when beaten just over eight lengths at long odds behind Theleia. Her debut was weaker again, finishing last and beaten over 15 lengths behind Egolee. The third-up set-up and class drop are positives on paper, but she has been beaten by several stronger hopes and must find far more.

Returns after a one-month break following a debut sixth at Greyville Aw, beaten four lengths by Cartel Queen in a FM MPLTE after being unwanted in the market. That was not a bad starting point in a small field, and natural second-up improvement is possible from a capable yard. She is new around 1000m, so the place profile is stronger than the winning case at this stage.
