Turffontein Race 4 - Betway Mr 96 Hcp

TIME IS PRECIOUS (5) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Was racing in great heart last prep with three consecutive wins before finishing sixth in Group 1 grade at Scottsville prior to going for the spell. Good effort at the start of last prep to score over 1000m at Vaal. Set to run well on fresh legs. TROMPE L'OEIL (6) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a two time winner including last start when scoring by 2 lengths over 1000m at Vaal. Unbeaten here and is among the leading chances. IT'S PERSONAL (2) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at Vaal with a win over 1000m at Turffontein Standside five weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. No reason he cannot salute again. CHIEFTAIN (1) finished 5 lengths behind the winner in sixth place when resuming over 1000m last start at Turffontein Standside. Second up record is sound. Can do better this time.
