Races ARB Turffontein - SAF

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 10 at Vaal on December 23 over 1600m, long-neck behind Copper Cliff with 60kg at $9. Before that 4th of 11 at Vaal on December 11 over 1600m, 5 len behind Agoge carrying 60kg at $4.50. Overdue for a win with placings at three of four this time in. Near miss last time and should go well again.

Last start second last of 10 at Vaal on December 23 over 1600m, 12 len behind Copper Cliff with 60kg at $126. The start before that 12th of 14 at Vaal on December 4 over 1450m, 12 len behind Force Publique carrying 60kg at $76. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, ran last of 16 at Vaal on November 4 over 1400m, 31 len behind Wayne with 60kg at $126. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

At the latest run 5th of 14 at Vaal on December 4 over 1450m, 2.75 len behind Force Publique with 59kg at $4.50. The run before that 2nd of 11 at Vaal on November 11 over 1700m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Beira with 58kg at $8. Thereabouts last start and looks a definite winning hope. Take catching this trip.

Racing well recently. Most recently 2nd of 10 at Vaal on December 23 over 1600m, head behind Copper Cliff with 55kg at $6.50. The start before that 2nd of 11 at Vaal on December 11 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Agoge carrying 59kg at $21. In the finish last time and is a player.

Last start 2nd of 12 at Vaal on December 18 over 1500m, 1.75 len behind Oklahoma Smokeshow carrying 56.5kg at $13.50. The race before that 7th of 11 at Turffontein Inside on November 13 over 1200m, 6 len behind Sergeant Soqrat carrying 59kg at $17. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought.

The start before that 7th of 9 at Turffontein Inside on September 28 over 1450m, 12 len behind One Eye On Vegas carrying 60kg at $21. Genuine chance this time around.

First-up. Finished off last preparation second last of 8 at Durbanville October 25 over 1800m, 12 len behind Joshua with 57kg at $67. First up last campaign eighth of 10 at Kenilworth July 22 over 1200m, on heavy track; 9 len behind Note To Self with 57kg at $67. Looks tested without a run under the belt.

Third race start today. At big odds at debut, 2nd of 16 at Vaal on November 4 over 1400m, 2 len behind Wayne carrying 58kg at $41. Last start 4th of 14 at Vaal on December 4 over 1450m, 1.2 len behind Force Publique carrying 59kg at $3.50. Close to a win and extra trip a pus. This race is well within his grasp.
