Greyville Race 2 - Gallop Tv Mdn Plate
ARKADIN (4) Tidy run when 3rd last start at this track but has more weight to carry. Displays good tactical speed. K De Melo adds value. No shock to see a win. LE CHACAL (2) First time at the races 3yo by Rafeef for trainer Dean Kannemeyer and will try to take advantage of the draw. Betting is the best guide. REBEL RIDGE (7) Career debut 3yo by Querari for trainer Dean Kannemeyer. Keep your eye on the market. TROJAN WARRIOR (1) Byword 3yo having first race start for trainer Darryl Moore and has the ideal alley. Watch the market.

Makes his debut from barrier 1 with a 1.5kg claim, so the draw gives him every chance to begin his career in an economical spot. The available profile is still light: Darryl Moore is 0 from 9 with debut runners in this sample and the trainer-sire combination is 0 from 4. With no race evidence to lean on, he has to show more than the exposed form runners.

Debuts for Dean Kannemeyer, whose first-starter figures in this sample read 6 wins and 18 placings from 45 runners, and that stable context gives him a more credible profile than most of the unraced runners. The Rafeef trainer-sire combination is also solid at 30 wins from 211 starts. Without exposed form he cannot be marked too aggressively, but he is a genuine place prospect.

Returns from a six-week let-up after finishing fifth on debut at this track, beaten just over seven lengths by Major League in a MPLTE on yielding ground. He was unwanted in the market that day, but the run gives him a base to build from and the 2.5kg claim is useful. With race experience now on his side, he has the right profile to improve into the main winning chance.

Continues to race honestly, running third at this track last start when beaten just under six lengths by Sensei Of Spin after a sound second at Scottsville, where he firmed near the top of an open market. He has placed five times from ten starts and three times from three this season. The 1200m record is not dominant, but his consistency keeps him right in the winning mix.

Returns from a three-month break after a promising debut fifth at Scottsville, where he was beaten a length and a half by French War Lord despite starting at long odds. That effort gives him better substance than most lightly raced runners here, and the time-rating angle adds interest. First-up improvement would make him a realistic place hope with some winning upside.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing seventh at Greyville Aw, beaten four and a half lengths by Camogie when big odds. The run prior was weaker again, second last at Scottsville and beaten eight lengths. A 2.5kg claim and leading track stable offer some support, but he remains unplaced from five starts and must find a much sharper finish.

Debuts for Dean Kannemeyer, which is the clearest positive in the profile, with the stable's first-starter record sitting at 6 wins and 18 placings from 45 runners in this sample. He is a half brother to Listed winner Vision Of Wonder and gets a 1.5kg claim. Even so, with no race experience, he looks more a watch-and-learn runner than a leading hope.

Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after a debut sixth at Scottsville, where he was beaten over 13 lengths by Global Trend on yielding ground. He was near the top of an open market there, so some early respect was evident, but the result was still well short of what is required. Untested at around 1200m, he has place claims only if returning much more furnished.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing seventh at Scottsville, beaten three lengths by French War Lord at long odds. His previous run was similar, also seventh and beaten three lengths, so the margins are not hopeless even though he remains unplaced from five starts. The 4kg claim is a plus, but his 1200m record keeps him in the minor-money bracket.

Has been unable to go on from a fair debut, finishing last at Greyville Aw last start when beaten over 11 lengths by Gallic King after being an outside chance in the betting. He was fifth at Scottsville first time out, beaten just over six lengths by Wild And Free, which is his better reference point. Race fitness helps, but he has to rebound sharply.

Returns from a lengthy ten-month spell after a poor debut at Kenilworth, where he was second last and beaten over 16 lengths by Give It Laldy when unwanted in the market. He did cost R550,000 and is related to Listed-placed Reef Runner, so there is pedigree interest, but the only race evidence is weak. He must produce a far cleaner performance to threaten.
