Turffontein Race 2 - Take A Bet Wina Numba Numba Maiden Juvenile Plate
VIPINGO (9) has run two fair races to date. She has scope and with experience on her side, she should be competitive. PRINCESS KEIRA (8) had excuses in her last start over 1160m on the Standside course. She can finish in the placings. GEOSTORM (4) is from the Tony Peter stable and Gavin Lerena is booked to ride. If not in need of the run, he should start his career on a positive note. ZALATORIS (7) is an unraced son of Erik The Red from the Paul Matchett stable with Muzi Yeni in the saddle. He is related to three-time winner Presley. If not too green in running, he should give a good account of himself.
