Turffontein Race 4 - Camargue Pinnacle Stakes
ZEUS (1) is better than his last start in Grade 3 company. It must be noted that the form of that race has since been franked. He won his only attempt here over this trip. He has the class edge over his rivals and despite giving weight away, he should still be the one to beat. RAISEAHALLELUJAH (4) was back in form when down in grade last time out, finishing runner-up. He has 12kg less to carry this time and if the pace is true early on, he will be hitting the line strongly. Watch for him late. GOOD COUNCIL (2) showed good signs of a form return in his last start over 1800m. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. He is a tough stayer when in form and at his position in the weights, he won't be far away. PRIME EXAMPLE (6) was an easy winner of his last start here over this distance. He is again well treated at the weights and from pole position, he is capable of following up with another victory.
