Turffontein Race 3

Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate

Stake: $8,189

XENOPHON (5) Career debut 4yo by Vercingetorix for trainer Sean Tarry and can save some energy from the alley. Betting as a guide. OLD FASHIONED (3) Ran 6th last run at Scottsville. Should improve here. Key player. MIZZEN SWORD (1) Finished 5th last start at Vaal. Happy to overlook that run. Might have to make up considerable ground. Looks promising in this race. LAVA COUNTY (6) Tidy effort when 2nd last time at Vaal. Has some strong credentials in this race.
