Scottsville Saturday Race Previews by Warren Lenferna
Moved to Greyville Monday
Race 1
Preview: Mostly first timers so watch the betting and have a look at the first timer comments – of the raced runners a big run can be expected from EASY PEASY she has been running on well over 800m and now the extended trip should be right up her alley – big runner. (Warren Lenferna NO SELECTION)
Race 2
Preview: VALCAR ran a cracker last time and was denied victory in the shadow of the post – hard to beat today. MIGHTY HASH is well tried but should get it right one of these days. SILVER SAILS ran on well on debut and finished third – big chance. KINSHASA showed huge improvement in his second run and is one of the leading lights. (Warren Lenferna 16-2-14-9)
Race 3
Preview: SEATTLE SPELL has a bad draw to overcome but ran well last time when beaten in the shadow of the post – he rates very hard to beat today. ASYOUPLEASE is the biggest danger but tries the distance for the first time – he is well drawn. PRINCE ARIANO ran well last time and is a must in everything and ROY’S STORMER has a chance as well but they will all have to go some to peg back SEATTLE SPELL. (Warren Lenferna 4-11-3-15)
Race 4
Preview: A weak field and trainer Craig Eudey seems to have found the right spot for the ever consistent THE MONEY MAN to record his second career victory – I fancy him quite strongly and have selected him to win. MAMBO raced well with first time tongue tie last time and based on that in this weak field should be able to go very close – respect. ROYAL ZULU GUARD is coming back to form and cannot be ignored. JACK THE KNIFE nearly won at long odds last time and if he repeats that run will have a chance again. (Warren Lenferna 3-4-9-10)
Race 5
Preview: Rather a hard race faces punters here. GAVEA GIRL has a deep draw to overcome but if she does she should be able to go very close as her form is consistent and she seems cheery ripe to record her second career win. CAPTAINS MOLL won so well last time that if she followed up it would be bno shock at all. LUNA SEA is consistent and her stable is in mustard form at present it would be silly not to give her a chance. (Warren Lenferna 8-3-4-2)
Race 6
Preview: WILD WICKET won and won well last time. He gets the best draw today and he looks progressive. He has been selected to record back to back victories. His form lines are very strong especially since Mr O’Neill has won again. PALLADIUM gets the advantage of some weight off his back from the claiming apprentice and this brings him right into the picture. MY PAL AL is way better than his last run in the Dingaans suggests. He has ability and cannot be discounted. RED CHESTNUT ROAD returns from a long rest and he should be able to run well here but his level of fitness is unknown – he is rated and has ability so do not ignore him. (Warren Lenferna 5-3-6-1)
Race 7
Preview: Don’t blink as you will miss the race – the speed will be on from the jump. CALL ME WINTER has shown that 1000m’s is her game – she is lightening fast and just finds another gear in the closing stages of the race. She is taking on some older hard knocking males but I do believe that her speed will see her through to the winner’s box – she is my firm first choice. Cheek can be expected from the marvelous MUSCATT – he is super and has tons of ability but is set to carry top weight. BLAZE OF MYSTERY, ISCA and A WOMANS WAY all have a chance. (Warren Lenferna 4-1-6-5)
Race 8
Preview: RUSSIAN GIRL looks ready to notch up her next career win and her trainer seems to have found the right race for her. STORM KITTEN, AZNERAK and LA DI VAR are all running well and should be close up together at the finish. (Warren Lenferna 4-8-9-1)
