Scottsville Race 2 - In The Box Seat Podcast Brought To You By Gallop Tv Mdn Juvenile Plate
BENNY AND PAUL (3) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1400m at Greyville. Nice return and close to a win. Likely improver with strong prospects. PRIZED POSSESSION (4) turned in a good effort on debut three-and-a-half months ago when 2.25 lengths away in third at Greyville over 1000m. Has not been to the races since that outing. Will be better for that race experience and is a solid top-three chance. OCTOBER RUSH (10) is a two-year-old colt on debut. From an elite family that includes a G1 victor, being by Rafeef from the former top race mare Miss October. YUKINKO (6) should improve and is a chance in this line-up.

Resuming after a break; only one run when 3rd of 8 at Greyville on March 22 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Rushing Chimes carrying 60kg at $3.50. Strong debut then put away again. Looks a key runner.

At the latest run ran second last of 10 at Greyville All Weather on June 17 over 2000m, 13 len behind Gimme The Truth carrying kg at $34. The start before that ran last of 7 at this track on April 29 over 1200m, 9 len behind Roskilde carrying 53.3kg at $126. Better off investing elsewhere.
