SAF - SCOTTSVILLE   13 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

WSB Play with the Best MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 29)    

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. ARE YOU SURE (3) is lightly raced with some good form lines to her credit. She showed good speed over 1200m last time, but found one too good on the day The daughter of Futura is having her peak run today and she can go one better. LUCIENNE (6) made the expected natural improvement when second over 1200m on this course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She is a progressive type and is one of the leading contenders. RUBY RISING (8) ran a good race when third in male company over 1200m at Greyville last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. She will strip much fitter and cannot be ignored. BELL OF ANGELUS (4) has been a tad disappointing in her last three starts. She drops back to 1000m and if finding her earlier form, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
