Turffontein Race 9

Youcanbetonus! Mr 84 Handicap

Prize Money: $10,908

LONGSWORD (5) stayed on well when fourth of nine over 1000m on the Inside course last time. He has won once, finished second twice and third once from seven starts on this course. If not in need of this run may find himself in the winner's enclosure. BLIZZARD SNOW (12) rallied late when winning her last start over this course and distance. Richard Fourie is booked to ride and she should give the males a decent run for their money. HEMISPHERE (13) returned from a spell last start and scored over 1000m at this track. Has sold each-way claims. VIBE SA (7) resumes from a spell. Worth noting he placed when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Include in combinations.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. Most recently 8th of 10 at Turffontein Inside on March 20 over 1000m, 10 len behind Virgin River carrying 58kg at $21. Before that second last in a small field at this track on February 15 over 1160m, 9 len behind Warm Winter Nite carrying 60.0kg at $6.50. Easily accounted for last time out but this suits.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
