Turffontein Race 3 - Infinite Credit Mdn Plate
JIMMY VEGA (1) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track nine weeks ago. Overdue for a win and on what he showed in first campaign expected to run well. PURPLE RAIN (2) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1450m at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race. SECRET GETAWAY (7) is facing the starter for the first time. By Gimmethegreenlight and hails from the Sean Tarry stable. Expected to feature. RAFE'S ORACLE (5) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished seventh over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Has ability so don't underestimate.

By Gimmethegreenlight out of Archerfield on debut. Purchased for ZAR R 500,000 (Bloodstock South Africa 2025 National Yearling Sale). Tough to line up. Betting the best guide.
