SAF - SCOTTSVILLE   23 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

GALLOP FORM CLASS 4 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 19)    

Plenty of pace established by Danube, Burning Man and Amor Fati, with Givethatmanabells close at hand. ROOSTER BRADSHAW (7) was an impressive winner of his last start over this distance on the polytrack. Despite racing wide around the turn that day, he ran on strongly and won with ease. He meets a similar line-up and should follow up with another victory. RALPH THE RASCAL (11) was given a gun ride when winning his last start over this course and distance. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from his wide draw and will be doing his best work at the finish. KIMBALL O'HARA (1) is third up today and looks close to a winning run after finishing a close third last time out over 1400m at this track. Likely to go forward from a good draw and has each-way claims. DANCING ON A CLOUD (3) hasn't fired lately. Last start could only manage seventh over 1750m at this track. Can improve in this line-up and is worth including.
