Turffontein Race 1 - Welcome To The Betway Spring Spree Challenge Mdn Plate

SHINING SUN (2) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when 1.75 lengths away in third over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Expected to go close. BRIEF ENCOUNTER (7) is a three-year-old colt by Buffalo Bill Cody out of Quick Glimpse set to debut for the Weichong Marwing stable. Should acquit himself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. FOREVER CANFORD (1) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. TWO TIGERS (3) improved last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1200m at this track. Likely improver so plenty to like about his chances.

Comes here off a 58-day let-up. Most recently ran second last of 9 at Vaal on July 2 over 1000m, 6 len behind Trompe L'oeil carrying 60kg at $11. Before that 5th of 10 at Turffontein Standside on June 14 over 1000m, 9 len behind Bisou Bisou with 60kg at $20. Easily accounted for last time out but this suits.
