Turffontein Race 2 - Youcanbetonus! Maiden Plate
TERRENCE (2) is building up to a win, most recently finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1700m at this track. Looks hard to beat. ROYALE JACKET (1) has been in the money eight times including last start on February 26 when third over 1700m at this track. Goes well here with three top-three finishes to his credit. Sure to prove very tough to beat. SAMUEL SHARPE (3) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 1700m at this track three weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. LANCE ALOT (4) finished third over 1450m at this track two back then missed the frame last time out over 1450m at this track. Should be camped just off the leaders. Has ability and rates among the chances.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 7 at this track on February 26 over 1700m, 3.5 len behind Stokesy carrying 60kg at $2.10. Before that 3rd of 7 at Turffontein Standside on February 7 over 1800m, 1.1 len behind Scarlet O'hara with 60kg at $6. Long overdue having placed five of last six. Everything points towards a big run.
