Turffontein Race 3 - Take A Bet Wina Numba Numba Juvenile Plate
READ ALL ABOUT IT (1) won on debut two runs back but was disappointing last time out. He showed ability on debut and if seeing out the 1400m, he can return to winning form. CRYSTAL GROVE (2) ran a fair race to finish fourth over 1160m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. Rates well as one of the leading contenders. SISTER GOLDEN HAIR (5) was an easy winner of her last start over 1450m on the Inside course. She is a progressive type and she cannot be ignored. RED PENNY (4) showed improvement when third over 1000m on the Inside course last time. He should enjoy the rise to 1400m. Muzi Yeni is booked to ride and he can finish in the money.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, favourite; won by 2 len at this track February 24 over 1160m defeating Emerald Forge carrying 60kg at $4.30. Last start 4th of 8 at this track on March 8 over 1160m, 7 len behind King Harald carrying 60kg at $3. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.

Going well. Comes here off a 37-day let-up. Last start scored a big 5.5 len win at Turffontein Inside March 13 over 1450m defeating Vipingo with 60kg at $7. The run before that 4th of 9 at this track on February 15 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Tenjiku with 57kg at $81. Confidence high so a repeat performance is on the cards.

Having third race start. At big odds at debut, ran last of 8 at this track on February 8 over 1000m, 14 len behind Easy Tiger carrying 57kg at $41. Last start 8th of 11 at this track on February 24 over 1160m, 11 len behind Crystal Grove carrying 60kg at $51. Hard to make a winning case.
