Turffontein Race 7

Konica Minolta Sa Mr 95 Handicap

Stake: $14,298

PAISLEY PARK (3) showed good signs of a form return in his last start over 1200m at the Vaal. He lost a length leaving the start but fought on nicely to finish fourth. It must be noted that the form of that race has since been franked. He will be peaking third up and can return to winning ways. RICHARD THE FIRST (2) ran a fair race in Listed company last time out. The form out of his last race has been holding up and he can figure in the top 3 this time. SLINKY MAPIMPI (4) won a good race in his last start over 1450m here on the Inside course. Top hoop Rachel Venniker takes the 1.5kg off his back and the pair should be involved at the finish. SILVER TUDOR (5) resumes from a decent spell that would have done him the world of good. If not in need of the run, he can have a say in the outcome of this race.

Second-up. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after five months won by a neck at Turffontein Inside October 12 over 1450m defeating Fatal Flaw with 57kg at $26. Previously second-up won by 1.75 len at Vaal January 16 over 1450m defeating Rattle Bag with 60.5kg at $6.50. Fitter again and a winning hope.
