Turffontein Race 2 - Equus Champion Three-Year-Old Colt/Gelding: Star Major Mdn Plate
Few of these close to getting off the mark. UNCLE BOB (4) produced a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at Vaal over 1800m. Overdue and looks a top winning chance. CLAIRWOOD BREEZE (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 2400m at Vaal after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DISDAIN (7) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1600m at this track. Among the chances while fresh. ECHO OF THE WILD (6) is backing up nine days after finishing fifth over 1600m at Vaal. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
