Cliff Top – a serious runner today (Pic – Pauline Herman)
Trainer Alan Greeff sends out Cliff Top in Race 7 and he is the possible Pick 6 banker. He showed good speed over 1000m last time, fought hard but found one too good in the form of Cruise Control.
He has won twice, finished second once and third once from seven starts over this distance. Despite his big mass of 62kgs, he should be too good for this field.
Global Force from the Gavin Smith stable may be the horse to close off the meeting. He needed his first run after the gelding. He set the pace in the Listed Champion Juvenile Cup last time but did not go on with the effort.
The son of Global View won his maiden on this course. This will be his first run in Handicap Company and he will strip much fitter. From his good draw of four, he may be the one to beat.
Louis Mxothwa is not riding today.
