Turffontein Race 9 - For Hospitality Bookings Call 011 681 1796 Mr 96 Handicap

DIOGENES (2) is the one to beat. Had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when fourth over 2450m in the G2 SA Derby at this track. Drops back in journey this time. Gets chance to bounce back in far easier grade. WAYNE (7) started at $2.30 last time but could only manage fifth, beaten 2 lengths, at Turffontein Inside over 2000m. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Expecting a bold showing. JORDAN (8) was a gutsy winner two runs back then finished fourth over 2400m at this track on March 21. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Capable of testing this field. OPEN HIGHWAY (3) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects.
