4RACING WELCOMES YOU MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1160m
IMPRESSIVE (6) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest effort a second over 1400m at this track. Has upside and looks close to getting off the mark. PERFECT SKY (8) resumes today after running in a small field on debut missing the frame by 4 lengths at Vaal over 1000m. Rates highly and can take this. FALLODON (3) is on debut. By One World and comes from the James Crawford stable. Expect a bold run. FEAST OF BERRIES (4) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Mike Mathew De Kock. By Vercingetorix from Redberry Lane. Worth watching for a betting push. |

TAB TELEBET 011 074 0300 MAIDEN PLATE 1600m
ROCK MY BOAT (2) finished 2.25 lengths away in second last time out at Turffontein Inside. On a nine-day back-up. Has been runner-up at the mile last two and is bursting to win. Gets chance. DOCTOR STRANGELOVE (4) is on debut for the Alec Laird stable. Three-year-old gelding by Master Of My Fate from Giveusakiss. One to keep close tabs on, particularly if popular with punters. MIRROR FLECTION (1) closed last prep six-and-a-half months ago when he finished ninth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and likely to feature. EMERALD COUNTESS (6) has not appeared since she finished seventh over 1450m at Turffontein Inside on March 12. Comes here with definite top-three claims. |

4RACING APP MAIDEN PLATE 1600m
CELTIC MANOR (7) will find this a little easier than her second on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten a long neck at the end of 1160m at this track. Likely improver so she will be hard to beat. GIMMESUMLUV (2) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 1.5 lengths into third over 1800m at Vaal. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BE MY FATE (5) put the writing on the wall last time when a close second at Vaal over 1800m. Has a high cruising speed. Capable of testing this field. MADE TO MEASURE (1) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 7 lengths. This looks a good race for her and she is one of the key runners. |

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MIDDLE STAKES 1600m
Even race where TINTIN (10) turned in a modest performance when ninth last time out over 1400m at Greyville, beaten 4.5 lengths. First try at the mile but seems to go best here. Won three on end before a fair run last time. Draws well and is a strong winning chance. WILLY MEET AGAIN (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Not far away in stronger company last few. Goes well course and distance. ERROL FLYNN (6) is a talented gelding whohasn;t raced since finishing ninth behind Grand Empire over 1800m in the G1 SA Classic at this track. Resuming in far easier and did win only try course and distance. Expect a bold showing. THE PLAYBOY BOMBER (8) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Vaal two starts back then landed the prize by 0.9 lengths last time out over 2000m at Turffontein Inside. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. |

RACING240 MR 74 HANDICAP 2000m
TERRENCE (6) proved too strong two runs ago at Turffontein Inside. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1800m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Back in class and worth another chance. SAND SCRIPT (5) started at $4.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 10 lengths at this track over 2000m. Improving filly better for the first try at the trip and can improve sharply. INSTANT ATTRACTION (10) turned in a better run last time to finish second over 2000m at Vaal. Doesn't win often but fitter for two runs back and looks ready. Has a strong record this journey. Will take beating. FULL GO (11) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on four consecutive occasions, before finishing fourth last time out over 1800m at this track. Veteran long overdue for a win. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game. |

ARIOVISTUS (4) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Turffontein Inside with success as public elect over 2000m at Vaal a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 3.5 lengths. Easy open class winner latest. Best form is this trip and will go close again. FUTURE GAMBLE (8) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 2000m at this track, scoring by 2 lengths. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Hard to fault winning recent form including course and distance win latest. Hard to beat again. ONE MORE STAR (3) was below his best last time when 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 2400m at Vaal. Should park just off the speed. Back in trip but has a strong record this journey.
