Scottsville Race 1 - Gallop Tv Maiden Juvenile Plate
CAPTAIN'S PRIDE (1) has shown good improvement in each of her outings to date. She showed good speed over this course and distance last time, before getting outrun late. She is a progressive type and can go one better. MALSHANA MOU (9) fought hard when third of 10 over 1200m on this course last time when resuming from a spell. She drops back to 1000m and Richard Fourie is booked to ride. If confirming her recent improvement, she should be fighting out the finish. SCORPIO (8) looked well in need of his comeback run over this distance at Turffontein last start when finishing sixth of eight when well supported. Racing in a fitter state has each-way claims. STAR IN MOTION (5) is a two-year-old colt by leading sire Gimmethegreenlight. Craig Zackey is in the saddle and a forward showing is expected. Should be well supported to take this race out.

Racing well. At the latest run 4th of 13 at this track on April 2 over 1000m, 6 len behind I'm A Fireball carrying 60kg at $5.50. The run before that 2nd of 7 at this track on February 9 over 1100m, 2 len behind Treaty Of Paris with 60kg at $11. Easily accounted for last start but is capable of better.
