Turffontein Race 7 - Tab Telebet 011 074 0300 Mr 96 Hcp

SOSORU (7) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Hard to fault recent form. Effortless course and distance winner at first try two back. Leading chance again. TROMBOLINES (12) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a second, beaten 3 lengths, over 1600m at this track. A bold showing is expected. CAPTAIN SELVIE (1) is a speedy filly who returned from a break with a win over 1200m at Vaal. Building a good record here at this trip and has won last three starts. Strong winning chance. MAX THE MAGICIAN (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1160m at this track. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd of 11 at Vaal on May 26 over 1000m, head behind Lead The Charge carrying 55kg at $2.30. The start before that favourite; scored a big 5 len win at this track April 30 over 1160m defeating One Tiger with 58.5kg at $11. Hard to fault recent form. Effortless course and distance winner at first try two back. Leading chance again.
