Turffontein Race 8 - Next Turffontein Racemeeting Thursday 2 January Mr 72 Handicap
JUST VAR (3) is a winner of his last two starts, the latest of which was here over this trip. He is up in weight but meets a similar line-up this afternoon and he can bring up the hat-trick. LAUGHING WILLIAM (2) is inconsistent, but his last start over 1500m on the Vaal Classic course was good. He has won once, finished second once, and third twice from nine starts over this distance. Rachel Venniker takes the 1.5kgs off his back and if he is in the right mood, can win. KING OF NUMBERS (5) ran a good race when fourth over 1200m on the Vaal Classic course last time. Jason Gates retains the ride and if repeating that effort, he can figure in the finish again. KOTINOS (4) is better than his last start suggests. He drops in class and on his best form shown, he would not be a shock winner.
