Scottsville Race 1 - Battle Force (2021) Maiden Juvenile Plate
LENOXX (9) is a two-start maiden who returned with a much improved run last time and finished fourth at Greyville over 1200m, beaten 3 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement and is a great chance to break through. DASHING LUCA (8) is a two-year-old colt facing the starter for the first time. From a family of winners, being by Twice Over from the stakes winner Magic Smoke. GOLDEN DIADEM (2) made his debut last start and was just fair in finishing seventh at Greyville over 1200m, beaten 6 lengths. Expected to do much better. ENJOY THE RIDE (13) debuted three weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1000m at Greyville, beaten 2.25 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement.

Third race start. First start ran last of 10 at Kenilworth on February 25 over 1000m, 14 len behind Rich Man's World with 60kg at $13.50. Returned from break 4th of 14 at Greyville on May 9 over 1200m, 3 len behind Quest Of Valor with 60kg at $26. Much improved run fresh and fitter again. Improver with winning prospects.
