Scottsville Race 5 - Live It. Love It. Own It. Www.racecoast.co.za Open Maiden
ETZEBETH (1) kept coming from off the pace to hit the frame on debut. Promising type with improvement to come so he is worth following up. APACHE AG (3) resumes from a spell of eight months. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 2000m at Greyville All Weather. Will get further but did place when last fresh at this course and distance. Likely to feature. OWNER OF CREATION (8) is yet to break through in 22 runs. Finished fourth after being prominent at the bend at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on January 25. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. QUINCY TOWN (9) was in the money two starts back at Greyville All Weather then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1200m at Greyville All Weather. Should be parked just off the speed. This looks a nice race for him.
