Turffontein Race 4 - For Hospitality Bookings Call 011 681 1796 Pinnacle Stakes(Open)

TEXAS RED (1) won a good race over this course and distance last time. Despite jumping outwards at the start, he found himself in front and won easier than the official margin suggests. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. Callan Murray is booked to ride, and he can follow up with another victory. TRUTH (3) is better than his last start run would suggest as he was reported to be not striding out. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. He is ideally suited to this course and distance and is one of the leading contenders. FIRE 'N FLAMES (4) was running on well when third over 1600m last time. Muzi Yeni is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. BACCHUS (6) improved sharply last time out to score over 1600m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
