Greeff and Fourie’s hot run to continue

Trainer Alan Greeff, who enjoyed success in Sunday’s Algoa Cup at TAB Fairview, can continue his good form at the course this Friday.

It may pay to follow him with Say A Prayer in Race 5 and Rock Me Mama in Race 8. Both arrive on the back of victories last time out.

Say A Prayer contests a MR 67 Handicap over 1000m. The three-year-old daughter of Real Gone Kid was last seen in May, when she narrowly beat the decent Carnival. That rival has won three times since and remains a sprinter to follow.

Say A Prayer had finished third on debut, behind stable companion and two-time winner This Or That. Her victory over Carnival was hard-fought, but it was significant that current rider Richard Fourie was aboard for the first time. He will have learnt plenty from that ride.

It was also Say A Prayer ‘s first taste of the Polytrack, and from a favourable draw, she can follow up.

Rafeef filly Rock Me Mama was a bitter disappointment when unplaced at a very short price in May, but she has strengthened up since then and has won two of her last three starts. Those victories include a MR 66 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1600m on the TAB Fairview Polytrack.

She can double up over the same course and distance, but Fourie will need to overcome a wide draw.
