Greyville Tips on May 26th - Best Bets and Predictions

RAF’S ROCKET caught the eye on debut over this distance on the turf. He lost a length at the start, took time to find his feet but finished off his race well. The son of Rafeef would have gained from the experience and if suited to the polytrack, he should be the horse to beat.

UNITED WE STAND hails from the visiting Paul Matchett stable. She stayed on at the finish over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course last time, but found one too good in the form of Poursomesugaronme. The daughter of The United States will love the rise to 1400m and she will be at peak fitness. If suited to this surface, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.

SHOEFELLA is one of the better bets on today’s programme. He set the pace over 1600m last time, but found one too good in the form of Natyam. The son of Jackson meets the right field this afternoon and in this line-up, he should take a power of beating.

STANLEY PARK ran a good race when third over this distance on the turf last time. It must be noted that Renaissance Man has come out and won again since. He has won once, finished second twice and third once from six starts over this distance. The 12-week break would have done him the world of good and if not in need of the run, he should be the one to beat.

HATTA won a good race in her last start over 1600m on this course. She has won once, finished second once and third four times from seven starts over this C&D. She races well for apprentice Siphesihle Hlengwa and merits healthy respect.
