After a very nice win by Binary Star during the week, we turn our attentions to Hollywoodbets Scottsville this weekend where we have one runner and a barrier trial to look forward to, on Sunday 22 September 2019. Mighty Smart looks a hot contender to leave the maidens after two close 2nds and Lady Boulogne steps out in a barrier trial. See the final fields and more here.
Sunday 22 September 2019
Scottsville Racecourse
Race 9 – 17:10
1600m – Maiden Plate
4 – Mighty Smart
Trainer: Paul Lafferty
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 12 ( Runners 12)
Current Betting: 5/2
Another close second last time out, he was caught a bit too far back coming into the straight and just lost it on the line. Had he been a bit handier, he probably would’ve put the race to bed a long way out. He had a tough draw to overcome on that occasion and he has another tough one to negate here. Sean Veale retains the ride and he will bounce him out to try and find a much handier position this time. He is in a good place right now and he should leave the maidens this time around. We think he should be tough to beat.
Winning Form Comment: Battling to crack a good draw. Just beaten in last two and merits respect.
1600m – 17:10

Race 12 – 11:50
1000m – Barrier Trial
12 – Lady Boulogne
Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Jarred Samuel
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 9 (Runners 17)
As most Oratorio offspring do, she has taken a bit of time to get going and she has finally arrived at the stage where she is ready to get going with her career. With that said, she isn’t entirely tuned up for this trial but it should bring her on nicely. The 1000m is also going to be a touch too sharp for her, as she will be looking for a mile later on in her career. All things considered, this should be a nice learning curve for her.
1000m – 11:50
