Turffontein Race 8 - Next Turffontein Racemeeting Saturday 12 April Mr 80 Handicap

OPEN HIGHWAY (5) stayed on well when fourth of nine over 1450m on the Inside course last time. He takes a drop in class. He is drawn on the outside of the course and can notch up his fifth-career victory. HONG KONG (4) was running on well when second of seven over 1200m on the Vaal Classic course last time when resuming from a spell. He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this course and distance. Has each-way claims. WARM WINTER NITE (1) was an easy winner of his last start over this course and distance. He has won twice and finished second once from as many starts over this course and distance. Kabelo Matsunyane won on him three runs ago and the combination merit healthy respect. LONGSWORD (2) stayed on well when fourth of nine over 1000m on the Inside course last time. He won his penultimate run over this course and distance. Well worth considering.
