Turffontein Race 3 - Betway Maiden Plate
ONE EYE ON VEGAS (6) On debut for trainer Mike Kock & Mathew De Kock. Betting as a guide. SILVER LONGSWORD (1) Looked good when 3rd last time at Vaal and has a good draw. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Going well this preparation. Can win. EXPLOSIVE CHARM (9) Johan Janse Van Vuuren 0yo runner on debut by Futura. Watch betting. RINGHO (2) Competitive effort when 3rd last start at Vaal but has to cope with a weight increase. Should jump out and bowl along. Expect to go close.
