Scottsville Race 7 - African Holly Stakes
WILLIAM ROBERTSON (4) won a good race in his last start over 1200m on this course. He won his only attempt over this distance. The 6-year-old gelding is in a good space and can follow up with another victory. SUN BLUSHED (7) finished 2.9 lengths behind the top pick last time. He is 1kg better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result. He will strip much fitter and can turn the tables. DONQUERARI (3) was unlucky not to have won his last start over 1000m at Greyville. If repeating that effort in this field, he should be involved at the finish. HITHEMHARDSUNSHINE (6) finished fifth and not that far behind the third pick last time. He strips fitter and cannot be ignored.
