Turffontein Race 1 - Welcome To Champions Day Maiden Plate
ONE OF THOSE DAYS (1) was beaten just a long neck last start when fresh from a spell and landed his first top-three finish in the process at Turffontein Inside over 1450m. Looks close to a win. PROPER (6) has not raced since his debut back on November 29 when he finished 12th over 1160m at this track. Comes through a hot form race on debut and returns in much easier. Likely to play a major role. LANCE ALOT (4) did little and finished 7 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1800m at Turffontein Inside last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Turffontein Inside the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MILLENNIUM WARRIOR (3) is close to a win. Should go well.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Not raced for 52 days. First-up 6th of 11 at Durbanville on January 21 over 1600m, 6 len behind Prairie Dawn carrying 57.5kg at $9.50.

Resuming after a break; only one run when 12th of 19 at this track on November 29 over 1160m, 14 len behind Splittheeights with 59kg at $8. Comes through a hot form race on debut and returns in much easier. Likely to play a major role.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, second last in a small field at this track on March 14 over 1000m, 11 len behind Slender Silhouette with 60kg at $67. Fair effort on debut but may need more racing.
