Turffontein Race 3

Tab Telebet 0861 000 822 Pinnacle Stakes

Prize Money: $12,887

MOUNT PINATUBO (2) was well held over 1160m in Group 2 grade at this track last time out. Should be poised just off the lead. Will prove tough to beat. KARATE KID (6) finished fifth two runs back at Greyville then improved last time out to score by a head as favourite over 1160m at this track. Philasande Mxoli gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Likely to be there at the finish again. CHAPBOOK (4) did little and finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at Scottsville last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Scottsville the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. WILLIAM ROBERTSON (1) was beaten 13 lengths into 14th in a 1200m contest at Scottsville at his latest appearance. Finds a nice race and can atone.

Most recently 5th of 16 at Scottsville on May 23 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Green Gateway carrying 62kg at $8. The run before that 4th of 16 at Scottsville in LR on April 26 over 1100m, slow going 1.5 len behind Kaalvoet carrying 58kg at $21. Thereabouts last start and looks a definite winning hope.

Resumes after a break of three months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign ninth of 15 at this track in the G3 March 7 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind William Robertson carrying 54kg at $26. When resuming last campaign second in a small field at this track April 12 2025 over 1000m, a neck behind Ready To Charge carrying 60kg at $8. Solid top-three proposition.
