Scottsville Race 5 - Tote Strelitzia Stakes (Grade 3) (2Yo Fillies)
WILD WILD GREEN (1) should have finished closer than third last start as she didn't have a lot of luck in the running. She resumes from a spell and having won in that state last prep over 1000m should be fighting out the finish. She jumps from the inside draw and has Richard Fourie in the saddle. JORDASH (3) after finishing fifth on debut two runs back improved on that run to score last start over 1200m at Kenilworth. She resumes from a spell and jumping from an inside draw is one of the leading chances. KEUKENHOF (4) won on debut over 1200m on this course last start, scoring by a big margin as the favourite. She looks to be a smart filly and looks well placed to go back-to-back. CAPTAINS ENVY (9) stayed on well when second of nine last start and was then put out for a spell. She won fresh-up on debut two runs back and is well worth a second look.

Had two starts to date. At very big odds at debut, 5th of 11 at this track on March 2 over 1200m, 11 len behind Quickstepgal with 56.0kg at $101. Second-up won by a head at this track April 2 over 1200m defeating Winter Blessing with 60kg at $17. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
