Greyville Race 7 - Byerley Turk (Grade 3) (3 Year Olds)
WILD JUSTICE (1) Tidy effort when 2nd last start at Turffontein and has drawn to do little work. Should muster plenty of early toe. Must respect. I'M A FIREBALL (4) Claimed a tight victory last run at Scottsville and carrying less weight this time. Gavin Lerena and Mike Kock & Mathew De Kock are consistently competitive when paired. Can win this. GREEN GATEWAY (3) Resumes from a break. Fought on well to win a tight contest by a short half head last start at Kenilworth and solid career start. Gets back and needs luck. Will be competitive. FORTRESS OF FIRE (6) Was agonizingly close last time at Scottsville. Has run into the money all attempts this preparation. Could run into the placings.

Placed 2nd last start at Turffontein and will appreciate a good draw. Callan Murray and Gareth (Jnr) are a strong duo. Won't be far away during the run. Solid claims.

First up after a break. Started $41.00 and came in 10th last time at Kenilworth but has a good draw. Likely to get back. Gets some weight taken off. Cannot have.

Back from a break. Got the upper hand late when winning by a short half head last start at Kenilworth and promising career start. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Narrowly clinched the victory last run at Scottsville and dropping weight. Gavin Lerena and Mike Kock & Mathew De Kock demand respect when they team up. Capable of winning this.

Resuming after a 37 week spell. At $15.00 mediocre display when 10th last run at this track but suited by the weight drop. Very unlikely to cause an upset.

Close up last time at Scottsville. Has run into the money 4 from 4 attempts this preparation. Betting is the best guide.

First up after a 26 week break. Won easily by a margin of 4 3/4L last start around here and having second career run. Shows good early pace. Marginal prospect.

Odds of $13.00 and ordinary performance when 16th last run at Kenilworth and bit of extra work to do with more weight. Has plenty of early speed. One for the place and exotics betting.
