Turffontein Race 5 - Racing240 For Racing. For You Pinnacle Stakes
RED MAPLE (4) is a distance specialist who turned things around last start and scored by one length over 2000m at Vaal. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ZEUS (1) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only seventh over 2000m at this track. Reunites with Gavin Lerena who has 10 wins from 18 rides. Well placed and should be in the finish. CRIMSON KING (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he can bounce back. SECOND BASE (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 2000m at Vaal. Placed to advantage and can make amends.
