Turffontein Race 5 - Gauteng Guineas Day 1 February Mr 96 Handicap

CAPTAINOFTHEGREEN (1) is better than his last start in a handy field. He won his three outings prior to that run. He should have no issues with the rise to 1800m. Piere Strydom returns to the saddle and the combination may find themselves in the winner's enclosure. IMPERIAL MASTER (3) has consistent form lines to his credit. Two of his six career victories have come on this course. Hard to beat. FORGIVENESS (8) ran a fair race in Grade 3 company last time. She returns from an that would have done her the world of good. If not in need of this run, she should be hard to hold out. ROYAL EDITION (9) ran a good race when second over 2000m at the Vaal last time. He is well-weighted again and may be hard to peg back at the finish.

Most recently 7th of 12 at this track on December 28 over 1800m, 6 len behind Lady Fallon carrying 53.5kg at $21. The run before that second last of 11 at this track in the G3 Yellowwood Handicap on November 2 over 1800m, 20 len behind Olivia's Way with 52kg at $11. Mediocre effort last time out but this suits.

Is first-up after a break of 11 weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation third of 11 at this track in the G3 Yellowwood Handicap November 2 over 1800m, 3.5 len behind Olivia's Way with 52kg at $5. Previously first up; fourth of 8 at Greyville August 22 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Perilla carrying 58kg at $7. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading.

Useful gelding. Comes off a 37 day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 2.75 len at Vaal December 12 over 2000m defeating Ryan's Dream carrying 58.5kg at $2.70. The race before that second last in a small field at this track on December 3 over 1600m, 12 len behind Heather's Boy carrying 56kg at $21. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.
