Turffontein Race 6 - Racehorse Owners Association Pinnacle Stakes
YOUCANTHURRYLOVE (7) hasn't been far away, recorded two placings before the latest effort for fourth beaten 2.3 lengths over 2000m at Turffontein Inside. This looks suitable. Leading contender. OCEAN WARRIOR (5) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form since winning at Vaal in April, the most recent effort a second over 1600m. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. OPERA GLASS (8) finished fourth last start over 1600m at this track nine days ago. Steps up in distance today. One of the prime contenders. GREEN HAZE (3) can improve second up.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up ran last of 7 at this track on July 3 over 1800m, 13 len behind Naval Guard carrying 54.5kg at $26. Second run from a spell ran last of 7 at Turffontein Inside on July 16 over 1600m, 13 len behind Sovereign Spirit with 56kg at $41. Hard to have on recent efforts.
