Turffontein Race 3 - Www.tab4racing.com Maiden Plate
CRONUS (6) was disappointing in his last start over 1200m at the Vaal. His debut effort when third over this course and distance catches the eye. He has plenty of scope and if putting his best foot forward should be the one to beat. KALEESH CYBORG (1) is better than his last two starts with the blinkers fitted. He has finished second over this course and distance previously. On best form shown, he should be fighting out the finish. FUTURENAIRE (7) is better than his last start run as he was reported to have raced with his tongue over the bit. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. His debut effort when fourth over 1000m on this course was fair. He has scope and can show improvement. MIZZEN SWORD (2) was well-beaten into fourth over this course and distance last time. It is encouraging that Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he can finish in the money.
