Scottsville Race 4 - Tote For The Win Maiden Plate
Several of these close to getting off the mark. LIGHT THE FIRE (8) fought on for third last start over 1600m at Greyville All Weather, making it two minor placings in a row. Has the pace to take a forward position. Closing in on a win. Has the right credentials. VIKING LEADER (9) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at Greyville over 1400m. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. XIPHOS (11) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at Greyville All Weather, beaten 4.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. SPLASH OF LOVE (12) finished third last start over 1200m at Greyville All Weather, beaten 6 lengths. Nicely placed to go a couple better.
