Say It With Roses (Jeffery Syster) enjoyed victory at her last start (Pic – JC Photos)Hollywoodbets-sponsored Trainer Stuart Pettigrew sends out Say It With Roses in Race 3.
She ran on powerfully when winning her last start over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course. She received a four-pound penalty for that victory.
The daughter of Flower Alley may still be ahead of the handicapper and she can follow up with another victory.
Here’s a look at her last start victory:
Phantom Express from the Paul Matchett stable may be the horse to close off the meeting. She raced from just off the pace last time before getting outrun late.
The daughter of What A Winter should enjoy the drop to 1000m.
Raymond Danielson retains the ride and she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
