Turffontein Race 2 - Youcanbetonus! Mdn Plate
FIRE FORCE (1) has the most seasoned profile and his recent figures read well for this. He was sixth to Cali Bullet at Greyville Aw last start, beaten eight and a half lengths in a Mdn, but his previous fourth behind Preux Chavalier had more substance and the class drop gives him a clearer opening. JET PLATINO (4) is still early in the career and has been fifth at his past two, both at Vaal, so the upside angle is stronger than the exposed record. The untried 2600m is the question, but he is fourth-up and drawn to get every chance. COMIC ARTIST (2) has placed four times from 18 starts and is more reliable than brilliant, with the step to 2600m the obvious test after a plain Vaal sixth. OVER SENSIBLE (3) has more to find, though she is second-up and comes from a leading stable, so she can improve enough to be part of the minor-money discussion.

Has the best recent profile despite finishing sixth in a Mdn over 2000m at Greyville Aw, beaten eight and a half lengths by Cali Bullet at long odds. His previous fourth behind Preux Chavalier was more encouraging, beaten just under four lengths in a small MPLTE field. The new 2600m is a genuine test, but the class drop and solid past-year place record make him the runner to beat.

Finished sixth over 1800m at Vaal last start, beaten just over seven lengths by Dreadnought after being unwanted in the market. She had been fourth at this track before that, but was beaten over 15 lengths on soft ground. Four placings from 18 starts give her some minor-money grounding, although the untried 2600m and poor track record keep her below the main winning chances.

Returns from a one-month freshening after a first-up fifth over 2000m at Vaal, beaten over 12 lengths by One Eye On Dubai at big odds. Her previous run this campaign was also plain, finishing last and well beaten by Shadowline. The class drop and second-up fitness offer some support, but she is unplaced from six starts and has to find a sharper finish.

Lightly-raced gelding who has finished fifth at his past two, most recently beaten just over seven lengths by Dreadnought over 1800m at Vaal at big odds. Two back he was beaten seven and a half lengths behind Be The One, so the form is not dominant, but he is fourth-up and drawn low. If he stays 2600m at the first attempt, he has the profile to run into the placings.

Has been soundly beaten in two starts, finishing second last on debut at this track before running last over 1800m at Vaal, beaten a long way by Dreadnought at big odds. Third-up fitness and a class drop are small positives, but there has been no competitive race evidence yet. A major form turnaround is required to trouble the better-credentialed maidens.

Gets significant weight relief after finishing last in a five-runner FM MPLTE over 1600m at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by First Whisper at big odds. Her prior seventh at Vaal was also heavy defeat, and she remains unplaced from seven career starts. The lighter weight helps the setup, but she has to produce a new level at an untried 2600m.
