Turffontein Race 3 - Youcanbetonus! Maiden Plate (F & M)
MASTER'S ROSE (4) finished third last start when fresh from a spell over 1400m at this track to make it three minor placings from five runs. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this course. Fitter and expected to go close. PURPLE RAIN (2) started at $8 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths at this track over 1400m. Previous run good for this. Finds a nice race and can atone. NICOLSON LANDING (1) fought on well for third last start over 1600m at Turffontein Inside, making it three minor placings in a row. Another big run expected. DEVIOUS LOOKS (6) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fourth at Vaal over 1450m, beaten 4 lengths. Can feature in the finish this time.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Last start 3rd in a small field at Turffontein Inside on April 9 over 1600m, 7 len behind Miraculous Moment carrying 60kg at $4. The start before that 3rd in a small field at this track on March 21 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Utsaah carrying 60kg at $6.50. Overdue for a win. One of the chief contenders.

Last start second last of 9 at this track on April 19 over 1400m, 9 len behind Greenandgold with 60kg at $8. The race before that second last in a small field at Vaal on April 2 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Hat's Mambo carrying 57.5kg at $1.90. Better than last run. Worth another chance.
