Turffontein Race 4 - Betway Maiden Plate (3-Year-Olds)
ROMAN'S REVENGE (1) raced from a handy position here over this trip last time out and was only caught late, finishing second. He meets the right field and if getting his own way in front, he may be hard to peg back. JAHAM (5) showed good improvement when fourth over a mile on this course last start. He raced wide in the early stages but stuck on bravely to finish fourth. He will have no issues with the rise to 1800m and he is an each-way threat. ROYAL MIRACLE (4) finished seventh in the same race behind the second pick last start. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he may have to settle for the same result. SIENNA RAE(6) showed some improvement in her last start over 2000m at the Vaal. S'manga Khumalo takes the ride and there should be more to come from the daughter of Talk Of The Town. Stick with her on an each-way basis.
