Scottsville Race 7

Lucky Fish Aviator Progress Plate

Prize Money: $15,034

ESTEEMED (1) is yet to miss the placings in two starts, including a big debut win then runner-up when straight into the Grade 2 The Nursery over 1160m at Turffontein Standside on March 29 2025. Off the scene for a long time but has plenty of ability and is the one to beat if returning on song. INFINITY EDGE (2) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing sixth over 1400m at Greyville All Weather ten weeks ago. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Likely to feature. THE LAST DUKE (6) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 1.4 lengths at his most recent outing when fourth over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One of the main contenders. A GOOD HEART (3) is a promising filly who has won fresh and only try at the trip. Has upside and worth watching.

The start before that 4th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on May 10 over 1160m, 2.25 len behind Karate Kid with 60kg at $7. Big chance after a respectable effort last time out.

Comes off a 42 day let-up. Most recently 6th of 8 at Greyville All Weather on June 10 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Vapour Trail carrying 60kg at $17. The run before that ran last of 16 at this track in LR on April 26 over 1100m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Kaalvoet with 60kg at $26. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
