12:50 greyville Tuesday 7th October 2025

THE SHEPHERD (7) good effort to finish fourth last time out over 7f on turf at Greyville, beaten just 1.5 lengths. First try on synthetic. No reason the new surface will stop him. DAWN TILL DUSK (2) finished 1.4 lengths back in fourth over 1m at Scottsville last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Rates highly and expected to go well. MOCHA BLEND (6) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 4 lengths away in fourth over 1m2f in the G2 The Gold Bracelet at Greyville on July 27 which was the only run of that prep. Should park just off the speed. One of the main contenders. TIRPITZ (3) wound up strongly at the end of 1m at Scottsville last time out, finishing 0.7 lengths away in third. Brings the right form to this race so he should be involved in the finish again.
