Turffontein Race 4 - Betway Maiden Plate (F & M)
POWER OF PEARLS (7) Tidy effort when 2nd last start at Vaal but going up in weight. Should muster plenty of early toe. Rates a winning chance. RENDEVOUS IN RIO (1) Ran 5th last start at Vaal. Should improve here and can save some energy from the barrier. Producing consistent results this preparation. Won't be far away. RACEWAY (3) Resuming from spell. Finished 5th last run at Greyville. Can show a better performance this time. Has plenty of early speed. Worth consideration. CHILLI MARMALADE (2) On a quick back up. Mediocre display when 7th last run at Vaal and rises in weight. Likely to get back in the field. One of the major players.
