Turffontein Race 8 - 4racing Java Stakes (Listed)

CURIOUS GIRL (5) Nice run when 3rd last start at Greyville and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Will be positive in the run early. Worth consideration. BELLEROPHON (1) Came in 4th last time at Vaal. Expecting improvement here and competing in an easier class. Bit of extra work to do with more weight. In the mix. BEST CANDIDATE (2) Ran well when 2nd last time at this venue and facing an increased distance. Should muster plenty of early speed. Going well this preparation. Underrated. POSITIVE ATTITUDE (6) Brave effort to win narrowly by a head last start at Vaal and taking on easier opposition. Has the speed to overcome the wide barrier. Right in this.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing fourth at Vaal, beaten a length and a half by Positive Attitude when heavily backed into odds-on favouritism. He had won a BM90 over 2800m at Vaal the start prior, beating Battleground by just under three lengths, so the form has substance. One win and one placing from six starts around 2400m leaves a query, but he holds genuine place claims.

Comments

Went close at Turffontein Inside last start, finishing second to First Wish and beaten just under a length after easing slightly in an open market. That followed a BM96 win at Vaal, where he beat Royal Edition by a length and a half. He has won twice from four starts at this track and has an excellent record with Craig Zackey, with the only real question being his first go around 2400m. The current form is strong enough to make him a major player.

Comments

Back from a two-month break after two plain BM96 runs this campaign, most recently fifth at Vaal when beaten seven and a half lengths by Best Candidate and unwanted in the market. He was last over 1600m at Turffontein Inside before that. Weight relief, third-up timing and proven 2400m form are positives, but being unplaced in five starts over the past 12 months is hard to overlook.

Comments

Back from a two-month break after finishing sixth in a BM96 at Vaal, beaten just over eight lengths by Best Candidate at long odds. His previous third at Vaal was much better, beaten just over a length behind Olympian Gold, and he has placed twice from three starts at this distance. The class drop and prior placing give him some footing, but he has to lift sharply off the latest run.

Resumed with a solid third in a Handicap at Greyville, beaten a length and a half by Uzwano after being well-supported near the top of betting. She is far stronger back around 2400m, where her record stands at two wins and two placings from four starts, and she is unbeaten from two runs at this track. From barrier one she should get every chance to turn that fresh run into a winning one.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening in winning form after scoring at Vaal last start, beating Hotarubi by a neck when near the top of betting. That came after a good BM86 third behind Apache Son, beaten just over a length, so his campaign has been building the right way. He is proven around 2400m with two wins and four placings from nine attempts, and the recent ratings point to him as the one they have to beat.

Comments

Was safely held at Turffontein Inside last start, finishing sixth behind First Wish and beaten just under seven lengths as an outside chance in betting. The run prior was more encouraging, third in a BM90 over 2800m at Vaal behind Bellerophon. He is a track-and-trip winner and has placed in three of four starts with Keagan De Melo, which keeps him in the mix for a placing rather than as a dominant winning hope.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after a much-improved third at Vaal, beaten half a length by Positive Attitude despite starting at long odds. That was a clear rebound from his previous BM86 run, where he was second last and beaten over 17 lengths. He does meet this with more weight than last start and owns only two wins from 39 starts, so a placing looks the more realistic target.

Comments

Was fourth in a small field at Turffontein Inside last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Into Dancing after drifting from opening levels. She had won a BM80 over 2600m at the same venue seven days earlier, beating Euphrates by just under three lengths, and has won her only start around 2400m. This is stronger, though, and she must reproduce that better run to be a factor.
