Turffontein Race 4 - For Hospitality Bookings Call 011 681 1796 Mr 80 Handicap

TO THE RESCUE (1) won his last start over 2400m on the Vaal Classic course. He tries the 3000m for the first time. He meets a similar line-up and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he can follow up with another victory. ARLINGTON ACTION (3) ran a fair race over a distance short of his best last time. Finds the right field to return to form. ROYAL MAZARIN (4) was given a gun ride when winning his last start over 2400m on the Standside course. He should have no issues with the rise to 3000m and has each-way claims. ONLY A POET (5) finished fourth over 2400m at Vaal last start when sent out as the hot favourite. Jumping from an inside draw can atone.

Useful gelding. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run won by 0.5 len at Vaal January 2 over 2400m defeating Douglas Dragon carrying 58.5kg at $4. The start before that 4th of 7 at Turffontein Standside on December 7 over 2400m, 2.5 len behind Royal Mazarin with 60.5kg at $3.80. No reason he cannot salute again.
