EAST CAPE PADDOCK STAKES (Listed) - STRONG SCENT could be worth following

With the race meeting at Greyville postponed this weekend until next Saturday, only two feature races out of nine remain. The first of the two feature races has also been affected by rain. The race meeting, previously scheduled for the turf track has been moved to the polytrack. This in itself may pose a few problems for punters.

The five year old mare STRONG SCENT has been in very good form., especially on the turf track. She has had good runs on the poly but with most horses in the field pretty much in the same boat as it were, this may not be too much of a problem. She has already won over the distance and she runs on powerfully at the end.

One horse that should benefit hugely from the move of tracks is FACINATING FILLY who has shown excellent form on this surface with four of her five wins at this track. She steps up in distance and class but should see out the "mile". Expect to see her feature in the latter stages of the race.

The current antepost favourite is EROS'S GIRL who is a progressive three year old filly. She hasn't raced for three months and when she last ran had won two in a row. Both runs were over further, but she has won over distances ranging from 1000m to 2000m. She has yet to run on this track, but has shown improvement in PE. She will be finishing well and must be one with a very good chance.

GOLDIE COAST makes her PE debut as well as her polytrack debut. She last ran three months ago and has run well over the distance. She is definitely capable of running into the money even though she takes on stronger.

SUPREME SUNSET was finishing well last time and she raids from Cape Town where she has faced some stronger fields, but not recently. She showed very good improvement last time when running on well late into the race.

1st - STRONG SCENT (7); 2nd - FACINATING FILLY (11); 3rd - EROS'S GIRL (6); 4th - GOLDIE COAST (3); 5th - SUPREME SUNSET (1)
