Turffontein Race 6 - 4Racing Wolf Power 1600 (Listed) (Handicap)

GRAND EMPIRE (11) is a promising galloper. Too good again when having first try at the mile and can make it four wins from four starts. CHRONICLE KING (4) wasn't disgraced in Grade 2 company latest. Trip suits and this far easier. Should be near his top. MONEY HEIST (3) has been freshened and back in trip. Deserves another chance. CHOISAANADA (1) has spent much of career in stakes class. Goes very well here winning four of five career success on this circuit. Worth following up.

Racing well recently. Last start favourite; won by 2.5 len at this track January 1 over 1600m defeating Max The Magician with 54.5kg at $1.40. The run before that favourite; won by 2.25 len at Vaal November 23 over 1400m defeating Chieftain's Shield with 56.5kg at $1.50. Too good again when having first try at the mile and can make it four wins from four starts.
