Scottsville Sunday Oct 16 Race Previews by Andrew Harrison

1

Preview: Many first timers but of those that have run SIR EDMUND has yet to finished unplaced but now tries blinkers and should be thereabouts again. LIL RED ROOSTER made major improvement at his last start but has been rested since. That form has held up so he must rate a strong chance if ready. VARADISO has run his best race over course and distance and a repeat should see him in the firing line. Of the first timers ARABIAN EMPEROR and OLIVER QUEEN have strong sprinting pedigrees. (Andrew Harrison:  4-5-6-13).

2

Preview: Open. Duncan Howells has two runners with promising form. DANISH CROSS made a smart debut behind stable companion Blaze Of Mystery but has not been out since May and may need this run. RAINBOWINTHESKY caught the eye on debut and there doesn’t look to be much in this line-up. CAPTAINS MOLL has been disappointing since two excellent efforts to start with. Her best form is on this course and she will be competitive if finding her best. BUBBLY NIGHT didn’t feature first up on the turf but she has some fair poly form. (Andrew Harrison: 14-12-7-6).

3

Preview: TROPICAL BLOW came from well back to take second to favourite Accidental Tourist on debut. She should appreciate the extra ground and with a claiming apprentice up and a plum draw she should go close. MALHAMA raced green on debut and will much prefer this trip although she has a difficult draw to overcome. EXPRESSO MARTINI found inspired market support at her second outing but found one too good. She has a chance to go one better. MADAME EXPRESS has not been far back in two starts and looks set to improve. (Andrew Harrison: 15-12-9-11).

4

Preview: WELL IN FLIGHT was close-up in a strong sprint field last time out. She has been kept to sprints but should not have any trouble seeing out the extra. WAITY KATIE caught the eye when making her local debut and will much prefer this trip. She had some useful Cape form. SEEK THE SUMMIT has come consistent form on the Greyville poly. She has a light weight and a good draw.  LALA is a smart filly and goes well this trip. She has a big weight but four-claiming apprentice Dennis Schwarz will ease her burden. (Andrew Harrison: 2-5-11-1).

5

Preview: MISS TEE has been threatening for some time now. She was a close-up second when taking on stronger last time and rates a strong chance. JUDS EXPRESS has improved with each outing of late and should be at her peak here. She was running on strongly from a tough draw last time out. ROY’S TWILIGHT needed her last run. She has a tricky draw here but goes well this course and distance. B TWENTY ONE returns from a break and is lightly raced. She shows some ability and could improve after being given time to mature. (Andrew Harrison: 7-12-8-9).

6

Preview: SYLVESTER THE CAT is not particularly well weighted here but goes very well over course and distance. He can be difficult so not always reliable. LONDON CALL is top class on his day and was an easy winner last time out. He does step up in trip but if he puts it in her should be right there. NO WORRIES has shown himself to be very versatile. He is quite well weighted here and has a good draw. Even though he returns from a short break he should at least be competitive.  ASHTON PARK made a smart local debut on the poly. He had consistent Cape form and Marcus sticks with the ride. (Andrew Harrison: 5-2-3-6).

7

Preview: ROY’S MAGIC won well at second time of asking. He looks progressive and can follow up. GUNNER was a Gr1 winner last time out but returns from a break and gives weight all round. He may just need it. MARSHALL THAT impressed as a very easy maiden winner last time out and that form has been franked although he does take on much stronger here. SCENT OF THE TIGER has improved with every run. He shed his maiden in good fashion beating the luckless Cabinda who was also beaten by Roy’s Magic. (Andrew Harrison: 4-1-6-3)

8

Preview: AMAZON KING has improved with each outing. He was close-up behind the promising Roy’s Magic at his second start and looks to have more to come in a weak field. ARAMOUSE has put in two big efforts on the poly but has also done well on the turf and looks a threat. The veteran ALBERT is always dangerous and back on the turf could upstage them all. SEMONKONG has not been far back at recent outings and with a light weight rates a strong chance. (Andrew Harrison: 1-5-7-13)

9

Preview: Open. GOOD TO GIVE appeared in need of his last outing. He has shown some promise and meets a weak field. LILY GRAY takes on males but has been knocking on the door for some time now and is due a change of fortune. BECKEDORF showed his best form with the blinkers removed for his last start. He can follow up. PANGA PANGA was not far back when making his local debut. The was his first outing in three months and he rates a chance in this weak field. (Andrew Harrison: 5-6-3-1)
