SAF - SCOTTSVILLE   26 Apr 2026
 
GOING: S

BET WITH TOTE MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: SOFT   Clear (Max: 31)    

A strong tempo is assured with the debutants applying pressure to the noted on-pacers Queraristinyferari and Lacryma Christi. QUERARISTINYFERARI (6) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at Greyville over 1000m. Overdue for a win and is sure to feature again. WATER HYACINTH (9) is returning from a spell of nine months. Finished fourth at this track over 1000m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Michael Roberts. Sure to be primed for this and a bold showing is anticipated. BERRINGTON BLEW (2) finished fourth at this track and distance at her last appearance 11 weeks ago. Makes plenty of appeal. WINTER MIRACLE (7) was below her best last time, finishing seventh and beaten 20 lengths over 1600m at Greyville All Weather. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
