South African Racing Tips - Best Bets at Greyville and Turffontein on May 11th

RHYDIAN produced a promising debut effort over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. The son of Rafeef understandably raced green but the manner in which he finished off his race was eye-catching. It must be noted that Talk To The Master and multiple other horses from the form line have come out and won since. The son of Rafeef looks to be a quality horse in the making and with the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to side with.

ROTOTO produced a promising debut effort over this C&D. He lost a length leaving the start, but the manner in which he finished off his race was encouraging. The son of Danon Platina would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he can go one better.

ORIENTAL CHARM was not disgraced when third in the Grade 1 SplashOut Cape Derby last time. He set the pace that day and stayed on to finish third. The 11-week break would have done him the world of good. He jumps from a good draw of four and if fit, he can notch up his third-career victory.

THE GREY KING is one of the better bets on this card. He raced from a handy position over 1600m last time, but was outrun late by Formagear. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. He is the class horse in this contest and from his good draw of three, he should be the one to beat.

HITHEMHARDSUNSHINE ran a good race when third in the Listed In Full Flight Handicap last time. He moved up well and stayed on at the finish. He has won twice, finished second twice and third once from seven starts over this distance. Rachel Venniker steps back into the saddle and he may be the one to side with in this line-up.

WORLDLY made the expected natural improvement when third in his last start over 1000m on this course. He showed good speed but was outrun late. The son of One World is a progressive type and he should strip much fitter. He should give his older rivals a run for their money.

BEREAVE has good recent form lines to his credit. He tried hard when third in the Grade 2 Khaya Stables Diadem Stakes last time. The 11-week break would have done him the world of good and if keeping on a straight line, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.

CLIFF SWALLOW’S last three starts have been good. The manner in which he has been finishing off his races suggests that he will love the rise to 1400m. The son of Canford Cliffs meets the right field this afternoon and he should take a power of beating.

KITCHAKAL was his own worst enemy last time as he over raced in the early stages and did not go on with the effort. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. He has won once, finished second once and third once from six starts over this distance. Aldo Domeyer is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.

O’TENIKWA showed good speed when winning on debut over this C&D. The son of Vercingetorix found betting support that day which suggests that he was showing good work at home. He does take on stronger, but he could be anything and can remain unbeaten.
