4RACING WELCOMES YOU MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1000m
FAR BEYOND (2) produced a promising debut effort over 1200m on the Vaal Classic course. She lost a length leaving the start, understandably raced green but the manner in which she stayed on at the finish to run third was encouraging. She would have come on from the run and if jumping on level terms can go close. QUEEN'S PACT (9) is better than her last start run over 1160m on this course would suggest. Her penultimate run when second over this distance, catches the eye. If finding the form of that run she should pose a threat. MYSTICAL MISS (7) is an unraced daughter of Rafeef from the Sean Tarry stable with Craig Zackey in the saddle. If not too green in running, she should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to her chances. JAZZ PIANIST (6) is a well-related two-year-old filly on debut. By Rafeef from the stakes winner Mary Lou who has produced some fine gallopers. Fresh-up should go a bold race. |

SCORPIO (3) ran a fair race on debut over 800m on this course. He should have finished closer as he hung inwards throughout. He returns from a 20-week break, during which time he was gelded. He should make the natural improvement and rates well as a leading chance. OPERA FAN (7) has shown improvement in each of her outings to date. She was running on over 1100m on this course last time. She is a progressive type and is one of the leading contenders. SUNSET WARRIOR (6) finished fourth on debut last start at Turffontein Inside. With racing experience now behind him can finish in the top-three. SPIRITRIX (9) is on debut and should be well supported. Well worth a second look. |

TAKE A BET WINA NUMBA NUMBA JUVENILE PLATE 1400m
READ ALL ABOUT IT (1) won on debut two runs back but was disappointing last time out. He showed ability on debut and if seeing out the 1400m, he can return to winning form. CRYSTAL GROVE (2) ran a fair race to finish fourth over 1160m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. Rates well as one of the leading contenders. SISTER GOLDEN HAIR (5) was an easy winner of her last start over 1450m on the Inside course. She is a progressive type and she cannot be ignored. RED PENNY (4) showed improvement when third over 1000m on the Inside course last time. He should enjoy the rise to 1400m. Muzi Yeni is booked to ride and he can finish in the money. |

FOR HOSPITALITY BOOKINGS CALL 0116811796 MR 80 HANDICAP 2850m
TO THE RESCUE (1) finished a game second last time out when well supported. He is likely to race on the speed and from his good draw of two, he may be hard to peg back. ROMEO'S MAGIC (2) won his last start over 2400m well. He steps up to 2850m and if seeing out the extra distance, he can follow up with another victory. ROSY LEMON (6) has fair recent form lines to her credit. She finished fourth over 2000m at Turffontein Inside and is a likely improver who should be thereabouts. MO MENT (8) was an easy winner of his last start over 2600m on the Inside course. He takes a rise in class but is in a good space and should give a good account of himself. |

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MR 84 APPRENTICE HANDICAP 2000m
DARK SILVER (4) stayed on well when second of 10 over this distance on the Inside course last time when well supported. He gets the services of the 4kg claiming apprentice Girish Samo-Burthia which will assist his cause and can return to winning form. DJ JUNIOR (2) has good form lines to his credit. He should have no issues with the rise to 2000m and he can feature. BIRTHRIGHT (1) is better than his last start run over this course and distance would suggest. He drops back in class and gets the services of a 4kgs claiming apprentice. He is likely to use his early gate speed to overcome the widest draw and may be hard to peg back. DIESEL'S SHADOW (3) is better than his last start over this distance on the Inside course. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he should be involved at the finish. |

CHAMPION FINALE 26 APRIL MR 76 APPRENTICE HANDICAP 1400m
GREAT NOTION (3) has good consistent form lines to her credit. She has won once and finished third once from as many starts over this course and distance. She drops back in class and with luck in the running may be the one to beat. PAUL REVERE (2) was doing his best work late in his last two starts, the latest of which was over this course and distance. He is back in Handicap Company and should be fighting out the finish. KING OF NUMBERS (4) stayed on well when second over this course and distance last time. He takes a slight drop in class and cannot be discounted. SHINTO SHRINE (1) resumes from a spell. Worth noting that he placed when returning from a spell last time in work over 1500m at Vaal. Has found the right race and is worth a second look. |

RACEHORSE OWNERS ASSOCIATION MR 93 HANDICAP 1400m
NIGHT BOMBER (4) set the pace over this course and distance last time before fading late to finish third. Muzi Yeni is booked to ride and he may be the one to beat. CHOISAANADA (1) resumes from a spell during which time he was gelded. He has won fresh-up previously and rates well as a main danger. MAX THE MAGICIAN (3) is better than his last start run over 1160m would suggest. He has won once and finished third once from three starts over this course and distance. If jumping on level terms should be finishing in the top-three. PRESSONREGARDLESS (8) is in winning form after scoring as the favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Diego De Gouveia stays aboard and he can go back-to-back. |

NEXT TURFFONTEIN RACEMEETING THUSRDAY 24 APRIL MR 94 HANDICAP 1000m
ADDRESS THE NATION (5) ran a fair race over 1200m on the Inside course last time when finishing fifth of eight. He won his penultimate outing over this distance and if putting his best foot forward may find himself in the winner's enclosure. WARM WINTER NITE (8) was an easy winner of his last start over 1160m on this course. He has won twice and finished second once from as many starts on this course. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect. BOURBON RESERVE (9) followed up his maiden win with a decent fourth-place finish over this course and distance. He is likely to race up on the speed and fresh-up from a spell may be hard to peg back. MASTER CASPER (1) is better than his last start run would suggest as the jockey reported something to be amiss in running. He resumes from a spell and having won fresh-up previously is well worth considering. |
