Greyville Race 7 - Gallop Tv Apprentice Classified Stakes
THE SWAN SONG (7) Finished 4th last run here. Overlooking the last run and good career start. Going well this preparation. Appears well in this. SCANDALIZE (2) Was first to greet the judge when winning by 1L last start around here and has a good draw. Has run into the money at every start this preparation. Won't be far away. POURSOMESUGARONME (5) Came in 8th last start at this track but dropping weight. Might be ridden for luck. Could be a value selection. GARDENER'S PRIDE (3) Looked flat when 9th last time at this venue and down in distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Gets some weight taken off. Minor claims.

Finished sixth in a BM82 over 1400m at this track last start, beaten just under three lengths at big odds, and his prior run at Greyville was a similar sixth when unwanted in the market. The return to 1200m suits far better on paper, with two wins from three starts at this track and distance, while barrier 1 and the 4kg claim help. A return to his best course-and-distance form puts him in the placings mix.

Comes through strong recent form, winning a FM BM81 at Greyville last start by just over a length from Innerbloom after being near the top of an open market. That followed a close third in a BM70, beaten just over a length by French War Lord. She is race fit, suited at 1200m with two wins and three placings from seven tries, and profiles as a major winning chance again.

Comes off two plain 1600m runs, finishing second last at this track and last at Greyville, so the recent form has to be read with care. The key is the change in setup: he gets sharp weight relief from the latest run, has won at this track, and his broader 12-month profile still gives him a platform. The 1200m record is a query, but this looks the right race for him to bounce back strongly.

Was eighth over 1400m at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market, and backs up quickly from that. The run prior at Scottsville was better in a BM82, finishing sixth and beaten just over three lengths, but he remains unplaced in six starts across the past 12 months. Even with the claim, he has to find a sharper finish.

Was safely held when eighth in a BM70 at Greyville last start, beaten just over seven lengths at generous odds, but her previous third at this track was far stronger when beaten just over half a length. She gets meaningful weight relief from the latest run and owns a sound synthetic record, including four wins. If she reproduces that sharper run two back, she can be around the minor money.

Lifted to win at this track last start, scoring by a neck from Born Of Fire at long odds, and the winning rider stays aboard. That came after a ninth at this venue, so the profile is not bombproof, but she has three wins overall and a solid 1200m record of two wins and five placings from 14 starts. With weight relief from the latest run, she is a genuine place hope with upside.

Started favourite and finished fourth in a BM82 at Greyville last start, beaten two and a half lengths, after a solid third in a Handicap at the same venue. His overall record is strong, with two wins and two placings from five starts, and he has already won at this track and around 1200m. He carries more weight than several rivals, but his consistency makes him a credible place chance.

Back from a two-month break after finishing last in a BM70 at Durbanville, beaten a long way, so he has to put that run well behind him. His previous fifth in a BM82 at Kenilworth was more respectable, beaten just under three lengths, and he has won once at this distance. The class drop and weight relief help, but he still shapes as a rough place chance rather than a leading hope.
