Turffontein Race 2 - Racing240 Juvenile Plate
WHAT A WARRIOR (2) Tidy run when 2nd last time around here. Running with confidence this campaign. Will go well. RED SANGRIA (5) Tony Peter 3yo by Erik The Red having first race start. Market as guide. TROJAN HORSE (7) Looked good when 3rd last start at Vaal and was a debutant last start. Gavin Lerena and Mike Kock & Mathew De Kock are an imposing duo. Will be in the finish. LONE HORIZON (1) Unsatisfactory performance when 6th last run at this track. Place chance.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 2nd of 7 at Turffontein Standside on June 7 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Prayersandpromises with 58kg at $11. The run before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Vaal on May 14 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Sheriff Bill Brown with 60kg at $3.50. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 11th of 13 at Vaal on May 26 over 1000m, 11 len behind Fierceness carrying 60kg at $34. Needs to do a lot more than he did on debut.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, 8th of 13 at Vaal on June 18 over 1400m, 6 len behind Raptor King with 60kg at $101. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.
