Turffontein Race 2 - Youcanbetonus! Mdn Plate
WHATWILLBEWILLBE (2) has the cleanest recent profile after resuming with a third at Turffontein Inside, beaten just under four lengths, with the market again giving him solid respect. The 2000m is new, but his Durbanville second over 1800m reads well enough to say he can progress second-up. CLAIRWOOD BREEZE (1) has the inside draw and a useful five-start profile, though he must answer for a plain Vaal fourth after being near the top of betting. GUS ON THE BUS (4) brings two recent thirds and beat CLAIRWOOD BREEZE at Vaal three weeks ago, so he is entitled to be in the minor-money argument if he holds that level. SIVAJI (3) improved into fourth behind Dreadnought last start, but his overall maiden record and previous 2000m attempt leave him more as a place hope than a strong winning play.

Returns after five weeks on the sidelines following a plain fourth at Vaal, where he was near the top of betting but eased and was beaten over 11 lengths by One Eye On Dubai. His previous second to Disdain at Turffontein Inside on soft ground was a better guide, and he has placed twice from five starts overall. Barrier one should help him race handy, but he must rebound sharply to convert a strong chance.

Resumed with a sound third at Turffontein Inside over 1600m, beaten just under four lengths by Green Fairway after being well-supported near the top of betting. He had earlier run second at Durbanville over 1800m, so the recent form has substance despite the first look at 2000m. Second-up fitness, consistent market respect and three placings from his past seven runs make him the one to beat.

Improved to finish fourth at Vaal over 1800m last start, beaten six lengths by Dreadnought after being unwanted in the market. The run prior was a heavy defeat behind One Eye On Dubai, and he also lost to Clairwood Breeze in that Vaal contest. The class drop offers some assistance, but with one placing from 11 starts he profiles as a minor chance rather than a serious winning force.

Has strung together two Vaal thirds, the latest a four-length placing behind Dreadnought over 1800m after going around at long odds. He also finished ahead of Clairwood Breeze in that race, which gives the line some relevance here. Thirteen starts without a win remains the obvious limitation, but a placing from two tries around 2000m keeps him firmly in the exotics mix.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing sixth at Turffontein Inside, beaten over 16 lengths by Nicci's Law despite some market support. She had been a sound second at Greyville Aw in Open grade two back, which shows there is some place ability in her profile. The class drop, weight relief and 4kg claim help, but she will have to produce her better form to trouble the main hopes.

Returns from a three-month break after ending her last campaign with two heavy defeats at Vaal, finishing last when beaten a long way by Life's Treasures after starting big odds. Her debut was also well held, beaten over 17 lengths by Navigatrix. With no placing from two starts and no proven 2000m form, she has a fair bit to find against fitter rivals.
