SAF - SCOTTSVILLE 28 Apr 2024

GOING: GS

IN FULL FLIGHT HANDICAP 1100m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 24)
The pace should be on from the outset with Quasiforsure, Cabinet Shuffle and Sovereign State pushing on from their low draws. CLIFF HANGER (13) ran a good race when third in his last start and was then put out for a spell. He has won fresh-up previously and is unbeaten from two starts over this course and distance. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he should prove hard to beat. GOOD TRAVELLER (8) should have won his last start as he hung over the final 150m. He is unbeaten from two starts over this course and distance. If keeping on a straight line he can keep that record intact. KING OF THE GAULS (12) won a good race in his last start over 1000m on this course. He takes on stronger rivals and should be up to the task at hand. HITHEMHARDSUNSHINE (7) placed second of nine last start at this track and is expected to go forward here, in the mix.
