Greyville Race 3 - Champions Aligned Open Maiden
TAKEYOURBESTSHOT (10) was long overdue before a break. Placed 5/6 here and 3/4 course and distance. Expected to play a major role. BLACK PLATINA (11) is long overdue with placings last four starts. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope. CAPTAIN'S DYNASTY (7) is nearing a win with placings last two and looks one of the chief contenders. LEVITATOR (12) was well off best last time but form prior was sound. Expected to finish much closer.
