Turffontein Race 10 - Signature Equestrian's Marcia Barends Memorial Mr 88 Hcp

RISING EAGLE (8) First up after a break. Close up last start at the track and promising career start. Has the speed to overcome the wide barrier. Will benefit with the weight drop. Can take this out. AINT NO DOUBT (1) Narrowly clinched the victory last time at Vaal and will appreciate a good alley. Q Ngcobo provides some weight relief. Respect. DAWSON'S ANVIL (10) Ran 5th last start at this venue. Overlooking the last run but carrying more weight than last time. Does take a while to get into stride. Good prospects. ONE STATE (7) Well beaten when 11th last time at Vaal. Has shown early pace in races to date. Jockey Blaine Marx Jacobson and trainer A P Peter work well together. Include.

Comments

Comes off a well-supported Vaal win in BM74 grade, beating Zip Code by a neck on good ground and confirming his liking for this distance range. The seventh at this track over 1800m prior reads less kindly, but he was again firm in betting and now returns to a trip where he has two wins and one placing from three starts. Drawn to race handy from barrier one, he profiles as a strong winning chance.

Comments

Returns from a two-month let-up after being beaten over 12 lengths in an Open at this track, where he was at generous odds and offered no clear excuse. His previous seventh behind Palace Prince was more respectable, and he does have two wins and two placings from eight starts at this distance. Even with the grade easing, he has to lift sharply on recent evidence.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after closing his last campaign with a long-neck second to Doctor Strangelove at Turffontein Standside in BM80 grade. He had won at this venue over 2000m the run prior, beating Prince Of Kildare by a neck, so the form has substance. The fresh mile is the query, but his past 12-month record keeps him in the place mix.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after winning a BM88 at Vaal, where he beat Rock My Boat by a length and a half as an outside chance in the betting. That followed a disappointing sixth at Turffontein Standside when sent out favourite, so the profile is not completely straightforward. With one win and five placings from ten starts around 1600m, he is a genuine place hope fresh.

Comments

Back after six weeks since finishing eighth in an Open at this track, beaten just over eight lengths at long odds. He had also been safely held here over 2000m the run prior, beaten just under nine lengths behind Orange County. His one win and two placings from four starts at this track and distance are positives, but recent form makes him hard to recommend strongly.

Comments

Was beaten six and a half lengths by Aint No Doubt at Vaal last start in BM74 grade, and that is the recent line he has to overturn. The start prior was more encouraging, finishing fourth at this track when beaten just over a length in a small-field Handicap at generous odds. He has two wins from four starts around 1600m, but his latest run keeps him as an outside chance only.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after missing by only a head at Turffontein Standside, where he was heavily backed into odds-on favouritism in BM72 grade. He had won his previous start by just over two lengths from Hot Choice and has not missed a place in three career runs. The 1600m is untried, but the lightly raced profile and strong market respect make him the runner to beat.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after a plain ninth at this track over 1800m, beaten just over nine lengths after easing near the top of an open market. His previous second here in NOV grade was far stronger, beaten a neck behind Palace Attack when well supported. Back to a course-and-distance profile of one win and two placings from three starts, he can improve into the placings.

Comments

Back after six weeks and should be ready to peak third-up after two solid runs at this venue. He was beaten just over two lengths in an Open last start after being heavily backed into odds-on favouritism, following a head second behind Raptor King over 1450m. The 1600m is new and he carries more weight now, but his current campaign form still gives him a strong winning case.
