SAF - SCOTTSVILLE   28 Apr 2024
 
GOING: GS

TABGOLD STRELITZIA STAKES 1100m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 24)    

Plenty of early speed in this field so they should hit the ground running. JUST RECKLESS (3) was doing her best work late when second of eight last time. She has won twice and finished second once from as many starts on this course. Rates as the runner to beat. DARK WINTER (5) was a beaten favourite in her last start over 1400m at Greyville. She will enjoy the drop to 1100m and can atone. SIBERIAN WINTER (4) got up where it matters most to win on debut as the favourite over 1000m on this course last start. She takes on stronger, rivals but should be well up to the task at hand. PROM QUEEN (2) won last start over 1000m at Kenilworth and was then put out for a spell. She jumps from a good draw and fresh-up has winning claims.
