Turffontein Race 5 - For Hospitality Bookings Call 011 681 1796 Progress Plate

STORM BRASCO (6) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on March 2 and finished ninth behind Purple Pitcher over 1800m in the G1 SA Classic at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. TAXI TO THE MOON (2) saluted at Turffontein Inside two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when second over 1000m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. RED BOMBER (1) is a talented gelding who was well held last time out in the tougher Merchants won by Mount Pilatus over 1160m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh. Reunites with Gavin Lerena who has three wins from eight rides. Expected to measure up. TRUTH (5) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on October 5 finishing seventh and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. In the mix.
