Turffontein Race 2 - 6F Stakes
RODEO DRIVE (6) was an impressive winner of her penultimate run over 1000m at the Vaal. She has plenty of class and she should take a power of beating. FORCE EIGHT (1) showed good speed when winning her last start over this course and distance. Muzi Yeni retains the ride and the combination merit obvious inclusion. BASKED IN GLORY (2) rallied late when winning on debut over 1200m at the Vaal. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. Can go back-to-back. POINTER (4) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1160m at this track at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender.

Useful type. At the latest run won by 1.75 len at this track June 16 over 1160m defeating Pointer with 60kg at $13.50. Before that second last of 9 at Turffontein Inside on May 23 over 1200m, 6 len behind French Impact carrying 55kg at $9. Last-start winner who can measure up again.

Getting off the mark on debut; won by a nose at Vaal June 4 over 1200m defeating Miss Lia carrying 60kg at $6.50. Improvement likely.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track on June 16 over 1160m, 1.75 len behind Force Eight carrying 60kg at $2.10. The start before that favourite; won by 2 len at this track May 4 over 1160m defeating Oxalis Gold carrying 57kg at $3. Hard to beat if she brings her A-game.

Group 1 placegetter. Useful type. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 11 at Scottsville in the G1 Allan Robertson Championship on June 1 over 1200m, neck behind Quid Pro Quo with 60kg at $11. The start before that won by 4 len at Vaal May 16 over 1000m defeating Desert Cloud carrying 60kg at $1.60. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.

First-starter by Potala Palace out of Favour's Pride. Prefer to see her under race conditions.
