Greyville Race 5 - Pinkdrive Apprentice C Stakes
B FIFTYTWO (8) is the one to beat after stringing together wins at this venue, most recently scoring by a neck from MOJO MAN while near the top of betting. His record with Damyan Pillay is a major strength and four wins from nine attempts at this track and distance gives his case real substance. CHARA SANDS (1) is the main danger, having won at Scottsville two back before finishing third to B FIFTYTWO, beaten just under a length, when strongly supported. He is seasoned, race-fit and especially reliable at this track and trip. TIME TO FIRE (6) has place appeal through his Vaal win two starts ago and was only beaten just under two lengths in BM74 grade last time, though he has to turn that into sharper winning form. MOJO MAN (5) has been knocking on the door with consecutive seconds, including the close B FIFTYTWO line, and profiles as a genuine minor-placing threat again.

Has returned in strong order, winning by a nose at Scottsville before finishing third at this track, beaten just under a length by B Fiftytwo after firming notably from a bigger opening quote. His record at this track and distance is a key asset, with five wins and eight placings from 23 attempts, and the 2.5kg claim helps with the big weight. Right in the winning mix if he holds that current form.

Has been safely held at his past two runs, finishing sixth at Scottsville behind Chara Sands before another sixth at this venue last week, beaten three and a half lengths at long odds. The quick back-up and apprentice claim offer some help, but his record of one placing from seven tries at this track and distance keeps the winning case thin.

Was last of 10 at Greyville in FM BM82 company last start, beaten five lengths at generous odds, after a fifth at Scottsville behind Chara Sands. She has the benefit of a 4kg claim and has placed three times from six starts at this track and distance, but the recent form is not sharp enough to recommend her strongly.

Has finished last at both recent runs, beaten just under nine lengths at Greyville last start after a similarly plain effort at Scottsville over 1600m. There is some past merit in his track and distance profile, including one win from three starts at this venue, but he must find a much sharper performance to trouble these.

Has put together two solid seconds, most recently at Greyville in BM82 grade when beaten just under a length by Luneluck after drifting from opening levels. He had earlier chased home B Fiftytwo at this track, beaten a neck, while firming near the top of an open market. Proven at the track and distance, he looks a genuine place chance again.

Won over this distance range at Vaal two starts ago, beating Two Tigers by just over half a length at big odds, then was far from disgraced in BM74 grade when sixth, beaten just under two lengths by Lonely As A Cloud. His overall strike rate is still modest, but the recent win and apprentice claim keep him in the minor-money discussion.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing second last at Greyville in FM BM82 grade, beaten over 15 lengths and unwanted in the market. Her previous Scottsville run was better on the margin, but still only ninth behind Arverni Princess. The class drop helps, yet she will have to lift sharply to be a factor.

Comes in as the in-form runner, having won three straight and most recently beating Mojo Man by a neck at this track while near the top of betting. He had also scored at this venue the start prior, and his profile is strengthened by four wins from nine starts at this track and distance. Damyan Pillay is three from three on him, so the winning case is clear and convincing.
