Turffontein Race 9 - Next Turffontein Racemeeting Saturday 11 January Mr 80 Handicap

VIRGIN RIVER (8) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1000m at Vaal last time. Has a high cruising speed. Best form puts her right in this. LONGSWORD (3) turned in a fair effort at Vaal over 1000m at his last run three months ago, finishing fifth and beaten 2.25 lengths. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. BIG BOY BRUCE (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1160m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from five runs. Expect a bold showing. BEAMONESQUE (9) last appeared when he finished fifth over 1400m at Vaal on September 24. Sure to make his presence felt.

Resuming after three months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation fifth of 8 at Vaal October 10 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind John Wick with 62kg at $4. First up last campaign ran last of 9 at Vaal December 28 2023 over 1450m, 9 len behind Princeofgreen with 54kg at $26. Could prove too smart for these.
