Turffontein Race 5 - Book For Classic Day 1 March Maiden Plate
CHIEFTAIN'S SHIELD (5) raced wide around the turn over this course and distance last time and stayed on well to finish fifth. Ryan Munger is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. PAGE BOY (6) ran a fair race over 1500m on the Vaal Classic course last time when finishing fifth of seven. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. From his good draw of two, he may be one of the leading contenders. MYSTIC VISION (1) resumes from a spell and fresh-up should go a bold race. PROLIFIC STAR (4) finished seventh when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track. Plenty of scope for improvement and has each-way claims.
