Turffontein Race 7 - Betway Spring Spree Stakes (Listed)

BJORN IRONSIDE (3) is back at the races for the first time since April 11. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Great record here and even better at the trip. Go close fresh. THE LAST DUKE (6) made progress last time out, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at Scottsville after being in contention on the turn. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. UMZINGELI WENYATHI (8) was sent out favourite last time when second over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Down in weight today. Has a high cruising speed. One to consider. KARATE KID (1) produced a reasonable effort when fifth last start over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
