Turffontein Race 3 - For Hospitality Bookings Call 011 681 1796 Maiden Plate
LOVABLE (12) kept coming on debut to finish fourth in a big field. That has proved a hot form race with five subsequent winners and counting. Will have benefited from that outing and is likely to measure up. POWER OF PEARLS (11) has placed last four and has wound up strongly last couple. Placed 2/2 here and 4/5 at the trip. Leading chance again. SKY PILOT (1) turned in a nice effort last time to hit the frame. Can go on with the job now. MONKEY'S WEDDING (3) is better than last run and gets chance to atone.
