Turffontein Race 3 - Telebet 011 074 0300 Mdn Plate
MISSION TO MARS (4) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1500m at Vaal in a tougher race. Likely improver so a big run is anticipated. GIVE ME A CHANCE (2) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at this track but disappointed last time when ninth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 1160m. Likely improver with strong prospects. ANGLE OF ATTACK (5) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Has the ability to find the winners' list. ERATOSTHENES (1) fought on for third last start over 1800m at Vaal, beaten 2.25 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
