Greyville has two polytrack meetings this weekend and it looks as competitive as usual.

In tonight’s fifth race over 1400m Red Shift is a typically progressive Silvano gelding with a lovely action and can make it three wins from four starts on the poly. However, Edge Of The Sun is the one to beat on paper. They had the identical respective draws of tonight when last meeting and Edge Of The Sun not only beat Red Shift by 0,3 lengths but he is also 2,5kg better off. However, Red Shift is chosen though as he appeared to run a bit of a flat race that time.

In the sixth race tonight Paybackthemoney looks to be a fair sort and can go close first time out the maidens from draw three off a reasonable 76 merit rating. However, topweight Noble Joshua is also on the up and Siberian Husky has some decent Cape Town form and now has Anton Marcus up so is also a must include.

The meeting on Sunday could start with a deserved win for Kingsmead, who has run two good seconds in succession over this 1000m trip. However, Wendylle will be a big runner as he at last has a low draw form which his front-running style will be at its most effective. 

In the third race over 1200m Bridal Veil has had the cheek pieces removed and this might spark a return to form. She has been dropped in trip to 1200m and has a decent draw of six for a change. She looked to be going places at one stage and now runs off a merit rating which has plummeted to 54.

Luke Ferraris rides her and could then score a quick 1200m double as he is drawn in pole in the next on the improved hattrick-seeking Play The Knight who looks capable of overcoming a five point merit rated raise after his commanding win over 1400m last time.
