Turffontein Race 9

Www.tab4racing.com Novice Handicap

Prize Money: $8,496

BAKWENA (1) resumes after a break of ten weeks. Looking to emulate her debut win over 1000m at this track to kick off last prep. Key runner while fresh. DRIVELIKEAMASTER (2) impressed when successful on debut over 1200m at Turffontein Inside a month ago. Promising type who can measure up again. BIG BOY BRUCE (4) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when sixth over 1400m at Vaal, beaten 6 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to bounce back to form. FAR REACHING (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 9 lengths into seventh. Capable in this line-up of featuring prominently.

Useful gelding. Last start 6th of 16 at Vaal on November 28 over 1400m, 6 len behind Confederate carrying 55.5kg at $34. Before that won by 3.5 len at this track November 2 over 1160m defeating Hong Kong with 60kg at $9.50. Can do much better.
