Greyville Tips on September 4th - Best Bets and Predictions

THE OCTAGON stayed on well when third over this distance on the turf last time. The son of Ideal World is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. He gets the cheekpieces fitted for the first time which should keep his mind on the task at hand. With luck in running, he should be the horse to beat.

CAPTAIN CASEY ran a fair race in his last start over 1400m on this course. The manner in which he finished off his race that day suggests that he will love the rise to 1700m. His last placed effort came under Gavin Lerena. Despite his big mass of 61kgs, he should be the one to beat.

ZINIKELE is better than her last start over 1500m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. It must be noted that Mascherina has come out and won again since. She has won three times and finished second twice from seven starts over this C&D. From her good draw of two, she can return to winning ways.

PROUD MASTER was given a peach of a ride when winning his last start over this C&D. He returns from a well-deserved 10-week break. Five of his seven career victories have come over this C&D. If not in need of this outing, he can follow up with another victory.

PRANKSTER finished 1.7 lengths behind DRIVE BY last time. She is 6kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She finished 1 length behind SWISS PARADISE in her penultimate run and is 2kgs better off at the weights today. That should be enough to turn the form around. She jumps from a good draw of three and should notch up her second-career victory.
