Greyville Race 7 - World Pool Gold Cup (Grade 3)

AHEAD OF THE FACTS (7) Snagged a narrow win last time at this venue and getting better in recent performances. Showing great form since returning from a break. Looks to be value. SHOOT THE RAPIDS (12) Honest race when 3rd last start at this venue. Very competitive this preparation. Definite claims. HOLDING THUMBS (13) Ran 5th last run at this venue. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. JOHNNY THE THIEF (1) Placed 2nd last start here and gets the perfect draw. Going over extra ground. Exotics hope in this event.

Was $81.00 and underwhelming when 6th last start at the track but ideal trip as proven previously. Expected to settle towards the rear. Returns to a longer distance. A long shot.
