Scottsville Race 2 - Bet With Tote Maiden Plate
ROYAL SWORD (3) is one of the best of the programme. He showed good improvement when second over 1200m last time. He is a progressive type, and in this type of field, he can go one better. TWOCANTANGO (7) stayed on when fourth over 1200m at Greyville last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. Stick with him. CHEERSCHEERSCHEERS (10) is an unraced son of Hawwaam from the Mike and Mathew de Kock yard with Callan Murray booked to ride. He is well related, and if not in need of this outing, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regard to his chances. JET BLACKFIRE (8) returns from a 10-week break/suspension. He is fitted with the cheekpieces, and he has plenty of scope. There should be good improvement to come with more racing experience.

Three-year-old colt who is first starter by The United States out of Irish Martini. Likely to be above average.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since he finished last of 14 at Greyville May 24 over 1400m, 30 len behind Run Forest Run with 60kg at $126. On debut second last of 12 at this track April 30 over 1200m, 20 len behind Yippee Kiyay with 60kg at $67. Faces a tough essay.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, 8th of 11 at this track on July 9 over 1200m, 9 len behind Cardinal Chief carrying 57kg at $101. Last start 2nd of 7 at this track on August 10 over 1200m, 1.1 len behind Boardwalk Breeze with 58kg at $11. This race is well within his grasp.

Was at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 9 at Greyville on August 3 over 1200m, 13 len behind Kanaal Skater carrying 58kg at $126. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Resuming after a six-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation fourth of 10 at this track February 2 over 1600m, 7 len behind Ragnar The King with 56.0kg at $51. On debut tenth of 15 at this track July 17 2024 over 1200m, 9 len behind Henry Harvey carrying 60kg at $51. Should be right in the mix.
