Scottsville Race 4 - Follow In The Box Seat Podcast Open Maiden (F & M)
YOUR LADYSHIP (8) produced a promising debut effort when third over this course and distance last start. The manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. She would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she may be the one to beat. AUSTRIAN BEAUTY (11) finished fourth of 11 at long odds last start beaten at this track over 1200m. Looks well placed to finish in the money. LONG STREET (6) ran a fair race over this distance at Greyville last time when finishing a close-up fourth of 12 when sent out as the favourite. She finished second in her penultimate run over this course and distance. Apprentice Mxolisi Mbuto takes 4kgs off her back and she is worth another chance. WINTER GLADE (1) is a three-year-old filly on debut. Muzi Yeni will give her every chance after jumping from the inside draw. Watch for leads from market fluctuations.
