Turffontein Race 8 - Betway Mr 80 Handicap
CLEVER TREVOR (6) Displayed potential when winning by 1L last time at this track and gets some weight taken off. Should muster plenty of early speed. Can give this a shake. MIGHTY EAGLE (3) Handy enough when winning by 1 3/4L last time at Vaal. Very competitive this preparation. Will be around the mark at odds. NAZARE (7) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at Vaal and returns to more ground. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Gets a favourable alley. Stays under notice. CHIEFTAIN'S SHIELD (8) Fought on gamely when winning last start around here and drawn well. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the trot. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Capable of better.
