Turffontein Race 2 - Racing240 For Racing. For You Maiden Plate
RONDEBOSCH (7) tried hard when second over 1200m on this course last time. He returns from a decent spell, during which time he was gelded. Gavin Lerena rides on his return and if not in need of this outing, he should be the one to beat. KWAGGA BLITZ (5) showed speed over this distance on the Vaal Classic course last time and was only caught late. The blinkers have done the trick. Piere Strydom retains the ride and he is one of the leading contenders. LETS PLAY POKER (1) was running on when second over 1200m on this course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He should have no issues with the drop to 1000m and must be considered for all combinations. DWIGHT EISENHOWER (6) fought on gamely when third over 1200m on this course last time out. He drops back to 1000m and if not too far out of his ground turning for home, he can run into the money.
