Turffontein Race 6 - Wolf Power 1600 (Listed) (Handicap)

POMODORO'S JET (2) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 5.5 lengths over 1475m at Vaal. This is his optimum trip with four wins from six starts and should prove tough to beat. STORM BRASCO (8) resumed over 1400m at this track last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by a neck. Fitter for that last hitout and looks a big threat to the top selection. CHESTNUT BOMBER (10) is a talented gelding who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1600m in the G2 Dingaans at this track. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Will give backers a great sight. TEXAS RED (1) fought on for second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.

Most recently 14th of 18 at Vaal on December 24 over 1475m, 11 len behind Pomodoro's Jet carrying 59.5kg at $26. The start before that won by a head at Turffontein Inside November 12 over 1450m defeating The Africa House carrying 60kg at $13.50. Has good early speed but looks outclassed.
