SAF - SCOTTSVILLE   29 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

TOTE FOR THE WIN APPRENTICE MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 21)    

Speed should be right on over the 1200m journey. Hard to go past ROSKILDE (4) despite finishing ninth at his last appearance over 1200m at Greyville in open class. Was Grade 3 placed the start prior. Has the claim and this far easier. Gets chance. SPORT OF KINGS (5) is a colt by One World from the stakes-winner Princess Ofthe Sky on debut. Profiles nicely for a big run at first outing. WAR EMPEROR (6) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1200m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race. QUARTER MASTER (2) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.
