Turffontein Race 8 - Racing240 For Racing. For You Pinnacle Stakes

MAIN DEFENDER (1) disappointed last time when tenth over 2000m in Group 3 class at this track after a close second at Group 3 level at this track the run prior. Appeals back in trip this time so he is right in this. TEXAS RED (2) was sent out at long odds when resuming last time but ran above expectations to finish second, beaten only a nose, over 1400m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. SILENT WAR (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1450m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. JOKER MAN (3) finished sixth at the second run back from a break over 1800m at this track at his latest appearance. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
