PREVIEW: SCOTTSVILLE - 19 JUNE 2016

PREVIEW: SCOTTSVILLE - 19 JUNE 2016

RACE 1:

 
THE GREAT VICTORY (6) raced green on debut but should improve. KIMBERLEY (5) is a KILDONAN first timer. BARON BELLET (1) has been improving. Best run this distance. GINGERBREAD MAN (3) could improve to place again. VARADISO (7) was moderate on debut last time. Watch for improvement to earn.


RACE 2:

 

JOY TO JOY (6) has had two good runs. Ran on last time. Very good chance. BLACK HALL BAR (1) has had three consistent runs thus far. Top Cape Town jockey aboard. HOUR GLASS (4) raced green on debut last time. PEGGY'S DREAM (7) has been moderate in both starts. Apprentice claim of 4 kg to assist. IDEAL LADY (5) can improve on a fair debut last time.

RACE 3:

LEGEND (4) can win on a vastly improved latest effort when running on strongly late. SPEED OF AFRICA (9) was slow on debut. Watch for improvement second time around. THE STAG KING (12) showed good improvement second time out last time. THE ROCK (11) failed to show on debut last time. RIGHTS OF MAN (5) did not get into the action last time on debut. Watch today!

RACE 4:

SKIP A BEAT (6) battled to get through at the top of the straight last time. CRACKPOT (5) has been consistent but needs to break on terms. Will be finishing well. ZANTE (4) has improved in KZN. FROMAFAR (3) has been vastly improved in KZN. Is better than her ninth to BELA-BELA in the SA Fillies Guineas. CHESTNUTS N PEARLS (1) has ability but has not shown for a while.

 

RACE 5:

ROCK ON BABY (4) runs well at this track. All three wins here. In good form and should go close once again.Has faced some good fields in Cape Town. OUR DESTINY (6) showed sharp improvement last time. Is one to consider for the win. VICTORIA LAVELLE (2) has faced some smart sorts in Cape Town and Durban. Third time lucky in KZN EASY GAME (3) will be taking on stronger. Good Highveld form. FREE STATE (5) has yet to run a bad race. in four. Money chance.

RACE 6: TRACK AND BALL OAKS (Grade 3) - PATCHIT UP BABY to be rewarded for consistency

The ante post betting may show that PATCHIT UP BABY (4) is currently priced at 10/1, but the four year old daughter of  IDEAL WORLD could be good value at that price. She ran well in the Grade 1 Gerald Rosenberg at Turffontein last time when being beaten into third place by TROPHY WIFE. She was just over a half a length behind that day. She found it difficult to find a gap and it was only in the latter stages that she found a way through and was able to finish powerfully. It is customary for her to finish well and expect the same today. She has moved from the Ormond Ferraris yard to the locally trained Duncan Howells yard. Stable jockey Muzi Yeni has the ride. PATCHIT UP BABY has won at this track before and last year she finished less than a length behind ASH CLOUD in the same race as a three year old. Sher would have matured since then. Watch.

NIGHTINGALE (9) has been priced up for this race as the 15/20 favourite. She ran a cracker in both the SA Fillies at Greyville and the Woolavington, finishing, on both occasions behind the highly talented BELA-BELA, priced up as joint favourite at 5/1 in the Vodacom Durban July. This smart three year old filly, trained by Mike Bass, has the class to win this race. She has been making rapid progress. She has a wonderful record with her pilot, Grant Van Niekerk who has won three from five aboard her with a second and a third. Any horse who finishes twice behind the favourite for the July, and by narrow margins on both occasions, cannot be a bad horse.

MARMALADY (8) has also been consistent and she is from the Ormond Ferraris yard. She finished just behind PATCHIT UP BABY last time when weakening late. Once again she will have Weichong Marwing aboard. She has run well over further. The daughter of DUKE OF MARMALADE is a serious runner and warrants the utmost respect.

The Mike De Kock trained daughter of MASTERCRAFTSMAN (2), four year old, THE CENTENARY ran a cracker in the same race last time and finished ahead of both PATCHIT UP BABY and MARMALADY, less than a length behind the winner. She will be finishing well and the Mike De Kock runners are coming to hand.

WORK ETHIC (12) is another locally trained filly. Gavin Van Zyl sends out this IDEAL WORLD three year old. She is bred to get this far. One has to regard her as a surprise chance at 50/1. While she may not win she could be a shrewd inclusion for the larger quartet permutations.

RACE 7: TRACK AND BALL DERBY (Grade 3) -  STORM WARNING approaching Scottsville

STORM WARNING (7), the six year old son of JET MASTER, looks likely to create a storm were he to win the Grade 3 Derby at Scottsville this afternoon. Currently on offer at 17/2, he looks set to improve on his seventh in the Lonsdale at Greyville last time. He was gaining fast that day over the same distance as today's race. The Johan Janse van Rensburg yard has been in good form this Winter Season in KZN. Highveld jockey, Randall Simons rides STORM WARNING for the first time although he is no stranger to the yard, having already ridden three winners for them. Randall Simons has been in very good form and has won five from his last thirty starts. The son of JEST MASTER has a string of feature race runs in recent months, without win success. This is an open race.

BANKABLE TEDDY (12) caught the eye last time when making his KZN debut in the Grade 1 Daily News at Greyville over 2000m. Another Highveld trainer has a very good chance. Brian Wiid had a purple patch in the province during the summer months. BANKABLE TEDDY has won two from twelve but this is a drop in class. The only thing standing in his way could be his age.

A trainer who is certainly continuing with his purple patch is Michael Azzie both in KZN and the Highveld. He sends out DEPUTY JUD (3), the four year old son of JUDPOT. He is a versatile horse who has won over distances ranging from 1400m to 2450m. Last year he ran a creditable third to FRENCH NAVY in the SA Classic and second to LEGAL EAGLE in the Derby. The ignore DEPUTY JUD would be a huge mistake. Take note, Weichong Marwing has the ride. This is his first time aboard.

DISCO AL (2) cannot be ignored. He did win this race last year. Once again Anton Marcus. He has been sparingly raced since then but could race fresh. Stable companion, COLTRANE (4) has been expensive to follow for a while now. He is a good stayer but has a habit of finding one or two to beat him.

RACE 8:

ZAHRA THE PRINCESS (5) has been improving. Apprentice claim of 4 kg will assist. Outside chance of the win. SPEEDJET (4) has been running on in improved form. DUBLINER (3) has a chance on penultimate run. Top jockey aboard will help. MERRY CHASE (7) runs for the twenty eighth time as a maiden. Will need more for the win though but can place. GORDON'S CUNGEE (2) is never far back and could pick up her maiden certificate soon.
