Michael Miller saddles Bell Of Angelus in the opener at Hollywoodbets Scottsville and she looks a to be a strong contender for victory.
Her debut effort was decent and with natural improvement to come she will be bang in the firing line.
Respect must be given to the Robbie Hill charge Hollywood Heiress. She is another who will progress from having a run under the belt and is expected to get much closer with Calvin Habib aboard. Punters are urged to keep a close eye on the market as there are a few unraced runners that line up, any market support must be respected.
Holds The Key looks a stand out on form in the second race and could give trainer Michael Miller a quick double on the card if things go to plan. He looked all out a winner in the last start before being beaten narrowly on the line.
Sonata Samaritan in Race 5 ran an absolute cracker in her last start when narrowly being beaten by Amafort. She goes over the extended 1600m trip which could suit her well so a huge performance is expected.
This race is a highly competitive contest and a case can be made for many. Greenlight Queen is a very interesting runner. She didn’t get away on terms in her last start however was running on. She did receive some betting support on that occasion and she will be a factor here.
Masterbling from the Garth Puller yard looks hard to oppose on current form. His recent runs have been outstanding so will be a massive contender especially with a light mass on his back. Although he takes on stronger in this contest, he will make his presence felt in a big way.
Jet Legacy is another who has been in top form recently. The Alyson Wright trained son of Divine Jet ran a cracker in the last start when narrowly being beaten by Connery. He gets regular rider Athandiwe Mgudlwa aboard and will be involved in the finish.
Other challengers could come in the form of Hope Is Power and License To Thrill. They both seem to be holding form and are certainly not out of this contest.
