Scottsville Race 1 - Tote. Speed. Power. Glory. Open Maiden
ICONIC WINTER (8) hails from the visiting Paul Matchett stable. She should have finished closer to the winner last time, as she hung in the final 150m. She meets the right field, and if all went well with her travels, she may find herself in the winner's enclosure. HOLLANDIA BAKKERIJ (11) ran a fair race on debut here over this trip. He would have gained from the experience, and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should pose a massive threat. BUDDY BOY (10) is an unraced son of What A Winter from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable with Callan Murray in the saddle. He is well related. If not in need of the outing, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regard to his chances. HIGHER LOVE (13) ran a fair race over this distance at Greyville last time. Include in all combinations.
