Turffontein Race 2 - Betway Maiden Plate (3-Year-Olds)
MY LUCKY CHARM (4) First time at the races for trainer Mike Kock & Mathew De Kock. Watch early betting. MATROOSBERG (1) Came in 4th last run at Vaal. Expected to rebound but has to cope with a weight increase. Deserves consideration. WINCHESTER (2) Disappointing run when 7th last start at Vaal but has a positive barrier. Carrying more weight than last time. Genuine winning chance. THOONSIL (6) First race start for Mano Pandaram. Betting as a guide.
