Breeding: Vercingetorix – Felicity Flyer by Noordhoek Flyer
Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 6 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
She has been disappointing in her last two starts. The daughter of Vercingetorix is a temperamental type, and this will be her first run at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. If Athandiwe Mgudlwa can settle her early, she is capable of finishing in the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:80. Is held by number 9 on latest. Steps up in trip and can improve.

Breeding: Danon Platina (JPN) – Star Evolution by Var (USA)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 8 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He ran on well when winning his last start and that is the reason the stable has opted to step him up to 1400m. He is doing very well back at home and is in a good space. With a bit of luck from his awkward draw of eight, he is expected to be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:85. Got three pound penalty for recent win. Can repeat.

He returns from a 12-week break as he had his vaccines. He has run good races over 1400m previously but is at his best over further. The son of Flower Alley is drawn widest of all and will be running on. This outing will bring him on for future races.

Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 2 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
She won a good race when shedding her maiden tag over 1400m last time and returns from a well-deserved 15-week break. The 1200m is on the short side and this outing will bring her on for future races. She gets the services of 4kgs claiming apprentice Damyan Pillay and will be running on at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 15 wks. Best MR:82. Shed maiden before the break and Warrior Royale has franked the form. Watch.

Winning Form Comment: Rested 31 wks. Best MR:82. Had excuses in latest. Can improve.

Jockey: *Damyan Pillay -4.0kg

He seems to be more effective on the polytrack surface. He is in a good space and is working well heading into this contest.

Winning Form Comment: Best MR:89. Fair latest behind subsequent winner. Chance.
