SAF - SCOTTSVILLE   10 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

TOTE FOR THE WIN MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 22)    

Good pace with Eagles Rock, Summer Lightning and Flag Champ matching motors. CLINTOSTAR (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over 1400m at Greyville All Weather. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. FLAG CHAMP (11) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish third last time over 1400m at Greyville, beaten 6 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Top chance this line-up. OWNER OF CREATION (5) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 1600m at Greyville All Weather. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Capable of testing this field. VENCEDOR (7) finished 5 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1200m at Greyville All Weather on July 16. Should be about the money.
