Scottsville Race 3 - Www.galloptv.co.za Maiden Plate
PHIL THE FLUTER (9) was a beaten odds-on favourite over 1600m at Fairview last time when finishing third of 13. He resumes from a spell during which time he changed stables. Andrew Fortune is booked to ride and if settled into his new surroundings should prove hard to beat. BRIGHTSUNNYDAY (12) showed good improvement in her last start over 1200m at Greyville when finishing second of 12 at long odds. She raced from a handy position and stayed on well at the finish. With a bit of luck in the running should give the males a decent run for their money. DOIN' TIME (2) was caught late when finishing second of 12 over this distance on the polytrack last time and was then put out for a spell. If not in need of this run he should be finishing in the top-three. DANUBE (3) was in need of his resuming run last start when finishing fifth of 11 over 1200m. He will strip much fitter and from his good draw of three is well worth considering.
