Turffontein Race 3 - Tab Sa Nursery (Grade 2)
KING HARALD (3) showed good speed when winning on debut over this course and distance last start when well supported. Jumps from a good draw of four and looks well placed to go back-to-back. CHARMING CHEETAH (1) ran on strongly when winning a Listed race over 1000m on this course at long odds when on debut. He should like the extra distance on offer and can follow up. TINA LOVELACE (6) won well here as the hot favourite over 1100m at the second time of asking after having finished third to the above selection on debut. She is a progressive type and should give the males a decent run for their money. GREEN DIAMOND (5) was on debut last start over 1000m at this track and went a bold race to finish second. She will strip fitter today and with racing experience now behind her is well worth a second look.

Getting off the mark on debut; favourite; won by 4.5 len at this track March 22 over 1160m defeating Blizzard Quest carrying 60kg at $1.60. Unlikely to be contesting the finish despite that strong debut.

Comes here off a 42-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at this track on February 15 over 1400m, 3 len behind Tenjiku with 60kg at $5.50. The run before that 7th of 9 at Kenilworth on January 25 over 1100m, 6 len behind Wild Wild Green with 60kg at $26. Thereabouts last time but others are preferred.

At debut, 2nd in a small field at this track on March 1 over 1000m, 2 len behind Glastonbury with 57kg at $7. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to be opening her account.

Had two starts to date. At big odds at debut, 5th of 7 at this track on March 1 over 1000m, 2 len behind Charming Cheetah carrying 54.5kg at $26. Second-up favourite; won by 1.1 len at this track March 15 over 1100m defeating Opera Fan with 60kg at $1.60. Cannot be taken lightly.
