Turffontein Race 6 - For Hospitality Bookings Call 011 681 1796 Mr 74 Hcp

QUEVANO (6) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at Turffontein Standside last time, scoring comfortably. Has further upside and can make it back to back wins. SPACE MISSION (5) broke his maiden five starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten a neck into second over 1600m at Vaal. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. UBERMENSCH (7) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.1 lengths over 1200m at Vaal. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. OKLAHOMA SMOKESHOW (2) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Finds a nice race and can atone.
