Hollywoodbets Scottsville Speedway – The Final Gr1 Fields

The final fields for Saturday’s Hollywoodbets Scottsville Festival Of Speed have been declared, with bumper fields and national representation a feature of the popular raceday, which incorporates a Jackpot of four Gr1 1200m contests.

East Cape kingpins Alan Greeff and Gavin Smith, who have both enjoyed past success on this historic speed day, will make the long trek up from Gqeberha to the KZN Capital City for one of the SA Champions Seasons best racedays. Included in the minor centre candidates for Gr1 glory include Canford Cliffs star 2yo and Global View’s fifteen time winner, Global Drummer.

Cape Champion Captain’s Ransom is an interesting runner in the SA Fillies Sprint, while Highveld champion 2yo Karangetang and recent WSB Fillies Guineas winner Under Your Spell add to the diverse spread of classy runners.

With field sizes restricted to 16 down the straight, there was some decision making for the Gr1 Golden Horse Sprint, where 8 had to be axed, after 26 were declared.

There is no Pick 6 carryover scheduled for Saturday 4 June.
