Scottsville Race 2 - Alesian Chief (2022) Maiden Plate

THE NAME OF DLADLA (3) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Change of rider and low draw. Expected to go close again. WAR EMPEROR (9) was prominent from the outset when second over 1200m at this track last time out. Has a high cruising speed. Bursting to win and gets chance. VALLI GAL (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. ETZEBETH (7) finished second last start over 1400m at this track to make it three minor placings from six runs. Has been in the top-three at all three runs at this course. Among the chances.
