SAF - SCOTTSVILLE   05 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

WSB 100 WELCOME SPINS CLASS 4 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 29)    

Pace sure to be on, Gorgeous Guy and Chicarito pushing forward, along with She's All Mine. CITY OF LOVE (6) was safely held when second last time out over 1000m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Both those were in open class though so comes back in grade here. Best figures measure up and goes close. WHO BLINKED (12) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing a long neck from the winner in second last time over 1200m at this track. Sound record at this distance with two wins and five minor placings from nine runs and is a key runner. GORGEOUS GUY (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1200m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be left out. TRIPPI'S SILK (8) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 6 lengths over 1200m at this track. Worth noting he has been in the money at every second-up start. Should be in the finish. Can feature with the right run.
