Turffontein Race 5 - Tab Graham Beck Stakes (Grade 3) (3 Year-Olds)

BANGKOK MAGIC (7) Was all too good winning by 1L last time at Greyville and promising career start. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 starts. Underrated. FIERCENESS (8) Game effort to win narrowly last run around here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should muster plenty of early speed. Rising in distance. Worth a ticket. GONE COLD (6) Snagged a narrow win last time at Vaal and showing consistent performance in races. Has plenty of early speed. Must respect in this event. NOBLE SAINT (10) Solid win by just short of 3L last run at Vaal and good career start. Ultra competitive this campaign with 2 wins from 2 runs. Gets back and needs luck. Serious player.

Returns from a lengthy spell with an unbeaten two-start record, having won at this track on debut before taking an Open at Greyville by just over a length. That last win came when an outside chance in the betting, so he has already exceeded market expectations. The 1400m is new, but he brings genuine quality and the winning rider is back aboard for a strong first-up case.

Just missed at Turffontein Inside last start, finishing second to Sosoru in BM96 grade and beaten a long neck after starting an outside chance. He had also run second over 1000m there the start prior, so his campaign has real substance. The first try around 1400m is the main question, but his seven-start record is strong enough to keep him right in the winning mix.

Has been close without winning at his past two, most recently third to Sosoru at Turffontein Inside when beaten just over half a length as favourite. He was beaten a similar margin by Gimme A Fireball the run prior, so the form is reliable even if he must turn around a narrow line with Time Is Precious. His previous 1400m try is the query, but he profiles as a major chance.

Returns after five weeks following a first-up win at Vaal, where he beat Redlightgreenlight by a length and a half in BM83 company. That made it back-to-back wins, after he had scored by just over two lengths at the same venue in PLATE grade. He has won around 1400m before and is genuine, though this deeper field makes him more a solid place hope than a standout.

Back after one month following a nose win at Vaal, where he was a well-supported favourite in a small-field Handicap. His previous win at this venue was far more dominant, putting more than eight lengths on Up And Up as a short-priced favourite. The 1400m is new, but he is two wins and two placings from four starts and has enough upside to be a realistic place player.

Returns after six weeks in excellent order, having won his past two at Greyville Aw and most recently beating Blue Steel by just over a length as favourite in BM82 grade. He had also scored there by a long neck as easing favourite, so his recent winning habit is clear. Already one from one at this distance and three wins from five overall, he sets a strong standard.

Returns after six weeks since winning first-up at Turffontein Inside, where he beat Periodic Table by a head as favourite in BM86 grade. He had earlier run second at this venue in PLATE company behind Gimme Some Luck, and his overall record reads two wins and a placing from three starts. The new 1400m assignment asks more, but he has the right profile to take another step.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing 11th at Greyville, beaten just under ten lengths by Erik Dubois at big odds. His win at this track the start prior was much better, beating Winston's Wonder by two and a half lengths in BM88 company, and he is proven at 1400m. The wide barrier and plain pre-spell finale leave him with plenty to turn around.

Back after one month and arrives off consecutive Vaal wins, most recently scoring by three and a half lengths in BM74 grade after being crunched into odds-on. He won by the same margin the run prior and has two wins from three tries at the distance, with the same jockey unbeaten on him. This is a sterner test, but he is going too well to dismiss completely.

Back after one month following a dominant debut win at Vaal, where he beat The Buffalo by seven and a half lengths as a firming odds-on favourite. That performance gives him obvious upside, and the same rider stays aboard for a stable that has several chances. The 1400m is new and this is far deeper than a debut MPLTE, so he shapes as a genuine place chance with scope.

Returns after three months following a third at Vaal, beaten two and a half lengths by Mount Darwin when firming favourite in BM88 grade. He had won narrowly at Turffontein Inside the run prior, and his record at this track and distance is sound with one win and one placing from three attempts. He has the credentials to run well, but others bring sharper recent ratings.

Returns after two months having won both runs this campaign, the latest a half-length victory over Whatsdamatterwithu at Turffontein Inside as a firming favourite. Before that he beat French War Lord by four and a half lengths at Scottsville, so the winning form is clean. He has not raced around 1400m, which tempers the win push, but he is a genuine minor-money hope.

Back after one month and has gone close at his past two, beaten a nose by Gone Cold at Vaal after finishing half a length behind Gimme A Fireball at Turffontein Inside. That form is honest, and he has won twice at this track. The issue is that 1400m is new and he has already been held by key rivals, so he will have to find another length or two.

Was solid at Greyville last start, finishing second to Coast Of The Sun and beaten half a length at generous odds. That followed a debut win at Scottsville over Le Concierge, also at generous odds, so he has handled his first two assignments well. He is two from two for placings at the distance, but this is a tougher race and he must raise the bar again.

Returns after six weeks since winning at Turffontein Inside, where he beat Dawson's Anvil by a head in NOV grade. He had also won at Vaal the run before, and his 1400m profile is strong with two wins and a placing from three attempts. The narrow margins suggest he is no certainty to dominate this stronger line-up, but he has enough consistency to press for a placing.

Broke through at Turffontein Inside last start, beating Le Concierge by just under a length as a firming favourite in MPLTE grade. He had been sixth to Raptor King at Vaal before that, beaten just under four lengths, so the form still has a mixed look. He is proven at the distance, but his record at this track is a concern against stronger opposition.
