Turffontein Race 1 - 4Racing Welcomes You Graduation Plate

AFRICAN PRIDE (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Good record this trip and will take running down. WINDS OF CHANGE (1) looks ready to win after two runs back. Narrow loss latest and looks a genuine contender under these conditions. TRAJANUS (3) scored last start at Vaal to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Has a great record at this journey with two wins from four starts and is capable of going well. I'M A FIREBALL (4) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1000m at Greyville, beaten 3.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes here off a 53-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by 3.5 len at Vaal November 11 over 1000m in soft going defeating One Tiger with 58kg at $2.30. The start before that favourite; won by 3 len at Turffontein Inside October 16 over 1000m defeating Seed Seeker with 60kg at $1.30. Hard to fault. Last-start winner who will give a sight again.
