WHISTLE STOP has been accepted to race in Saturday’s important Gr1 Daily News at Greyville following the three-year-old’s satisfactory comeback run at the weekend.
Improving Square Dance (red cap, headline photo), an eye-catching winner at Turffontein recently, will be lining up in the day’s main supporting feature, the Gr1 Woolavington 2000.
The Gr3 Lonsdale Stirrup Cup is the third feature event on the card.
