Turffontein Race 5 - Championships Finale 25 April Call 011 681 1796 To Book Mr 104 Handicap

MONEY HEIST (2) has placed last three including a third at Turffontein Standside in the G2 Hawaii Stakes on April 4 over 1400m. Won only try course and distance. On the quick back up in much easier grade. Expected to go close. ARISTOTLE (1) is a handy galloper with a strong fresh record. Expect a forward showing. MAX THE MAGICIAN (5) has been kept fresh since running below par last time, finishing seventh over 1450m at this track. Should park just off the speed. One of the main contenders. HOTARUBI (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2850m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 11 lengths into fourth. Quick back up and well back in trip but back in class.
