RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: SCOTTSVILLE@2023.03.29
Scottsville, 29.03.2023, Race 1, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R100.000, 12:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Many first-timers, so follow the betting moves closely. SIGN OF FATE made a promising debut and must be expected to build on that. She is bred for further but is going about it the right way. HOT PEARL also showed good pace tiring late to finish 5,10 lengths behind the former and should also come on. BOMBER GIRL by Lancaster Bomber and GREENLIGHT LEGEND by Gimmethegreenlight could be quick on pedigree but all eyes could be on What A Winter/Var cross SWEET JULIA who has drawn toward the outside of the track.
Selections:
#6 Sign Of Fate, #4 Hot Pearl, #12 Sweet Julia, #7 Westockmarketborse
Scottsville, 29.03.2023, Race 2, Gallops, 1000m, Turf, R100.000, 13:30GMT+2
Race Summary: JET LEGACY caught the eye on debut finishing well to take second. He had things go wrong so should do better. BENNI IN THE AREA has the benefit of knowing this track well and is knocking. He showed good pace before tiring late over 1200m so could prefer this shorter 1000m. ONE IRISH ROVER is also holding form but he too has lacked a decisive finishing effort. However he should enjoy switching back from the poly to turf and has the best of the draws. RARE FLAG must be considered for exotic bets. KUMEMORI won’t need to be top-class to win on debut.
Selections:
#6 Jet Legacy, #5 Benni In The Area, #1 One Irish Rover, #2 Kumemori
Scottsville, 29.03.2023, Race 3, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R97.500, 14:05GMT+2
Race Summary: LADY SERENA looks well-placed. She is a specialist over course and distance and is dropping in class. Stablemate DEVILS AND DUST is in good form and has draw one. She could go start to finish if allowed to. Trainer Paul Lafferty holds a strong hand. SHELL SEEKER has been a bit disappointing as she was expected to win any of her last three starts. She may prefer racing on the turf at this venue and could reward followers. Stablemate HOT STRIKE is very capable at best. She has taken quite a drop in ratings and could be well weighted. QUANABI and GELSOMINA have earning potential.
Selections:
#7 Lady Serena, #6 Shell Seeker, #1 Devils And Dust, #4 Hot Strike
Scottsville, 29.03.2023, Race 4, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R100.000, 14:40GMT+2
Race Summary: MONEY HEIST is back home after running with the best of the current crop of three-year-olds. He has earned a high merit rating and should be hard to beat. AURORA STORM has not shown much after an easy maiden win. He was gelded and may have needed time to come to hand – one to watch back at his best track. FINE ADMIRAL may not be well in on current rating but ran a decent race in his first post maiden heat and could have improvement to come. Stablemates LUCKY DOLLAR and CAPTAIN ROCKET may now be looking for this longer distance and could earn.
Selections:
#8 Money Heist, #6 Aurora Storm, #1 Fine Admiral, #4 Lucky Dollar
Scottsville, 29.03.2023, Race 5, Gallops, 1500m, Turf, R100.000, 15:20GMT+2
Race Summary: MACARA is holding form nicely and would be deserving. She had wide draws to overcome in her last two and didn’t disgrace herself. However there is one in the race that is going for five wins in a row. After winning three in a row BELLA SICCOME was expected to have a tough time against males but she beat them showing a bit of class. She has won at this venue and after a rest so could beat the handicapper yet again. HAWKER TYPHOON is the dark horse. She ran on well but too late the last time she raced over 1400m at this venue. She goes 100m more which could help. More in it.
Selections:
#4 Macara, #1 Bella Siccome, #6 Hawker Typhoon, #8 Meet At The George
Scottsville, 29.03.2023, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R100.000, 15:55GMT+2
Race Summary: Lightly raced GARDENIA looked dangerous when second behind Maria Corolina after a rest. The latter has come out to win again which augurs well for GARDENIA. DANSE MILORD disappointed at this venue before winning very easily on the poly thereafter. She may try different tactics and could run a much better race. KABON KAPI on the other hand did better back at this track and could go even better over this longer distance. She should not go backwards. BOOGIE SHOES impressed in her last two on the poly but is racing after a rest. She is very much one to watch.
Selections:
#5 Gardenia, #8 Danse Milord, #3 Kabon Kapi, #9 Boogie Shoes
Scottsville, 29.03.2023, Race 7, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R100.000, 16:30GMT+2
Race Summary: After battling for the longest time QUEST FOR THE BEST found top form winning his last three on the bounce. He looked comfortable at the finish last time so could add another win to this tally. TRADE WAR looked the likely winner after moving up strongly but was tagged by CAVALIERI who enjoyed the conditions and the sharp 1000m pace when they met. TRADE WAR is 0,5kg better off for a short head beating and could turn it around. WINTER WAVES and GIMME A RAINBOW are holding form well and capable of a strong finish so need to be respected.
Selections:
#5 Quest For The Best, #4 Trade War, #8 Cavalieri, #1 Winter Waves
Best Win: #8 MONEY HEIST
Best Value Bet: #4 MACARA
Best Longshot: #4 MACARA
