Scottsville Race 2

Nhlanhla Ndlovu / Mark Schultz (30 Years) B Stakes

Stake: $12,874

ICY BLAST (5) returns from a spell. He has placed previously when produced fresh-up and jumping from a handy draw should prove hard to roll. LICENCE TO THRILL (7) has won his last two starts with the latest recorded over 1200m. Winning rider Tristan Godden retains the mount and he looks well placed to complete the hat-trick. SOHO STAR (4) produced a good run last start over this distance at this track. Has a terrific record here with two wins and two placings from four starts. Has each-way claims. CONVOCATION (6) did well last start when finishing a long neck second of 12 over 1200m at this track. Well worth including in exotic bets. Something for the Multiples: RAINBOW REWARD (1)

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign eighth of 11 at Kenilworth December 14 over 1200m, 8 len behind Kaiboy with 58kg at $41. Previously first up; fifth of 7 at Durbanville September 14 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Captain Arrow carrying 60kg at $6.50. Should be right in the mix.
