SAF - SCOTTSVILLE   19 May 2024
 
GOING: GS

FOLLOW GOLD CIRCLE ON FACEBOOK FM 94 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT   Clear (Max: 27)   7.5m  

Fast pace assured with Ripple Effect, Warship and There She Goes leading the charge. NO FILTER (12) stayed on well at the finish over 400m last time. She has finished second twice and third twice from five starts over this distance. On best form shown, she is capable of taking this race out. SHIPHOLIA (1) is a winner of her last two starts. She returns from a spell. It is encouraging that Richard Fourie is booked to ride and if not in need of the run, she can notch up the hat-trick. PRITTI VICTORY (9) was a dominant winner last time at this track over the same distance. Should be prominent from the outset and expecting a bold showing. THERE SHE GOES (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.7 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at Greyville All Weather. Looks to be in the right race so she should be well in contention again.
