Turffontein Race 4 - For Hospitality Bookings Call 011 681 1796 Maiden Plate

MOUNTAIN HIGH (10) did a good job last start to finish second at Vaal over 1450m, beaten a long neck. Should be at her peak now. Is yet to break through this campaign but is racing well, finishing in the money at all three starts. Best form puts her right in this. SPIRITO SELVAGGIO (2) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1450m at Vaal. Nicely placed to take this out. HONG KONG LUCKY (7) resumes after failing to impress on debut running 6 lengths behind Hair Trigger at Turffontein Inside over 1200m. Has definite claims. THE ULTIMATE KING (9) turned in a moderate debut over 1600m at this track on November 11 when he was safely held in seventh, 13 lengths from the winner. Open to plenty of improvement. Must be respected.

At the latest run 5th of 9 at this track on December 28 over 2000m, 7 len behind Poplar Park with 60kg at $4. The run before that 5th of 11 at Vaal on December 12 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Gamer with 60kg at $11. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.

Going well. Last start 2nd of 8 at Vaal on December 19 over 1450m, long-neck behind Kalikaa with 59kg at $1.40. The start before that 2nd of 9 at this track on October 26 over 1160m, 5.5 len behind Kommetjie Storm carrying 59kg at $2.50. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.
