Greyville Race 1 - Welcome To Hollywoodbets Greyville Apprentice Maiden Plate (F & M)
WINTER BLESSING (3) has recorded three minor placings from three starts this preparation, the latest when third as a well-fancied conveyance over 1200m at Scottsville. Jumps from a low gate so gets her chance to break through. BELLIGERENT (5) switches to synthetic for the first time. Finished 2 lengths back in third on turf over 1000m at Scottsville most recently. Worth following up. MIDNIGHT HOUR (8) resumes from a spell of nine months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. WINTER BELLE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Greyville, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
