Turffontein Race 5 - Tab Telebet 011 074 0300 Progress Plate

RADIO STAR (3) brings the sharpest recent form, having gone under by just under a length to Calla Lagoon in Open company at this track after a solid fourth in a PLATE the run prior. The return to 1450m is the query, but he is third-up, has the 4kg claim and looks ready to win. GALLIC VICTOR (6) is the main danger off two close runs, most recently fourth as firming favourite in a BM96 and earlier third at Vaal when beaten half a length. His record around this distance gives him a genuine winning platform. PRETTY PERSUASIVE (5) was only fair first-up, but her overall record is strong and she has two wins and two placings from five starts at the trip. The wide draw is the obvious hurdle, yet her best form belongs in the finish. THE BRONX BULL (7) resumes after finishing within three and a half lengths at Greyville and had been second at this venue before that; the first try around 1450m makes him a place-first chance rather than a clear win play.

Comments

Returns from a two-month break in excellent form, having won a BM80 at this track by just under two lengths as a heavily backed favourite. He had also scored narrowly at Vaal over Gallic Victor, so the current campaign form is hard to ignore. Three wins from five attempts around 1450m reads well, though this depth of field means he profiles more as a value runner than the safest winning play.

Comments

Back after a two-month break following a plain second last at this track, beaten over 12 lengths in Open grade and sent out at long odds. His previous run at Turffontein Standside was also well below par, beaten over 16 lengths. A past win around 1450m gives him some base, but six unplaced runs across the past 12 months leave him with a major form turnaround to make.

Closed in on a win when second to Calla Lagoon over 1600m at this track, beaten just under a length and well-supported near the top of betting. His first run this campaign was also sound when fourth, and he now reaches the third run of the preparation with a 4kg claim in his favour. The return to 1450m is the one query, but he has placed twice at the trip and brings the best current form into this.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing second last at this track, beaten over 15 lengths in Open grade and starting at long odds. Her previous run at Turffontein Standside was another safely held effort, beaten just over nine lengths. The easier setup helps on paper, but three unplaced tries around 1450m add to the task and she has to find plenty more.

Back after five weeks since a first-up fifth at this track, where she was beaten just over six lengths behind Calla Lagoon as an outside chance in betting. She ended her previous campaign by winning an FM BM96 at Turffontein Standside as favourite, and her 1450m profile is strong with two wins and two placings from five tries. Barrier 10 is not ideal, but her best form keeps her right in contention.

Only beaten just under a length when fourth in a BM96 at this track three weeks ago, and the market had him as the firming favourite. The start prior at Vaal was also strong, finishing third to Peace Treaty over 1600m when beaten half a length. He has won and placed around 1450m, draws barrier one, and brings a consistent profile that gives him a proper winning chance.

Resumes after a three-month spell having finished sixth at Greyville over 1600m, beaten three and a half lengths at long odds. His prior second at this track over 1200m was better, beaten a length by Antonio Gaudi when respected in betting. The first attempt around 1450m asks a question, but his overall placing record gives him a realistic minor-money profile fresh.

Comments

Back from a four-month break after closing last campaign with a third at this track, beaten just over two lengths over 1600m when near the top of betting. He had also run second at Turffontein Standside and owns a sound record at this distance. Those positives are respected, but he returns against better-credentialled rivals and has to raise his standard to win.

Comments

Has been sixth in both runs this campaign, most recently beaten six and a half lengths behind Griselda at this track after firming from opening levels. He was also safely held at Vaal first-up, so the recent form does not leap off the page. Third-up and eased in grade give him some scope, but his two unplaced runs around 1450m make him a place-only type.

Comments

Has produced two fourths since resuming, the latest at this track when beaten just over four lengths behind Griselda as an outside chance in betting. The run prior was similar, finishing fourth behind Trip Of Faith after being unwanted in the market. She carries just 52kg and is race fit, but ten unplaced runs in the past 12 months temper the winning case.
