Scottsville Race 2 - Tote - Join The Race Maiden Plate
WINTER IN LONDON (1) is a two-start maiden who showed promise in opening campaign. Has good speed to utilise the inside and looks a key runner. EASTERN HIGHLANDS (2) looks overdue for a win with placings last two. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest. TLADI MOTHWANA (4) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Wengesai Masawi. By Buffalo Bill Cody from Lizzie Arden. Any push in betting should be respected. BEST OF ALL (5) is a three-year-old colt by leading Vercingetorix who was purchased for ZAR R 600,000 (Bloodstock South Africa 2024 National Yearling Sale). Hard to assess, so will pay to keep safe.
