Turffontein Race 8

Next Turffontein Racemeeting Thursday 23 January Mr 80 Handicap

Stake: $11,292

VIRGIN RIVER (7) has consistent form lines to her credit. She raced from just off the pace last time, tried hard but found one too good on the day when finishing a hard-fought third It must be noted that the form of that race has since been franked. She will strip much fitter and can go one better here. THE NAVY LARK (6) ran a fair race over 1200m on the Vaal Classic course last time. She has won twice, finished second once, and third twice from ten starts over this distance. She is one of the leading contenders. HALCYON (2) won a nice race at the second time of asking. He returns from a decent spell, during which time he would have strengthened up. He has plenty of scope and can take this out fresh up. BIG BOY BRUCE (4) was disappointing in his last start over 1160m on this course. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he can bounce straight back into the money. Include in all combinations.

Useful type. Last start second last of 11 at this track on January 11 over 1160m, 8 len behind Vibe Sa with 59kg at $7.50. The run before that won by 0.8 len at this track December 16 over 1160m defeating Bakwena carrying 53.5kg at $1.90. Can do a lot better than that last run.
