Scottsville Race 3 - Nashua Pmb Maiden Plate
PSYCHE (2) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 2 lengths into third over 1400m at Greyville. Well placed and can take this out. RED CARDINAL (3) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 1600m at Greyville. Rachel Venniker stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Bold showing expected. BOURBON'S BEAST (1) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest at Greyville over 1600m. Calvin Habib has been in the money at the last three rides. Sure to be competitive. QUARTER MASTER (7) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 4 lengths, after being in the firing line on the bend at his latest appearance over 1200m at Greyville. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 9 at Greyville on January 18 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Deepest Water carrying 59kg at $4. The race before that 2nd of 10 at Greyville on December 28 over 1600m, on a slow track; neck behind Christmas Cactus with 59kg at $6. Overdue for a win placing last three. Drawn to get the gun run out of the inside barrier.
