Alan Greeff – could be tops today! (Pic- Pauline Herman)
Trainer Alan Greeff saddles Cliff Top in Race 7 and he is the possible Pick 6 banker.
He has top consistent form lines to his credit.
He raced from a handy position in the Non-Black Type Nelson Mandela Bay Racing Poly Challenge 1200 last time, fought hard but found one too good in the form of Prince Of Fire.
He has won once, finished second twice and third twice from as many starts on this course.
The son of Canford Cliffs is having his peak run today and should notch up his sixth career victory.
Great Affair from the Tara Laing yard represents decent each way value in Race 3.
He has been racing against stronger company since relocating to the Eastern Cape.
He stayed on when third behind Bournemouth over 2400m on the turf last time.
The 6yo gelding has dropped to a competitive rating and takes a drop-in class. With a bit of luck from his awkward draw, he can return to winning ways.
Distance changes – Race 2 – 1300m, Race 3 – 2200m & Race 5 – 1300m
