4RACING WELCOMES YOU JUVENILE PLATE 1160m
GIMME SOME LUCK (2) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1160m at this track. Promising colt who will find this area. Go close again. FIERCENESS (3) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1000m at Vaal a month ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. CATFISH (1) gave away a start then stormed home to win over 1000m at Vaal last time out. Best form puts him right in this. SHINING SUN (6) has not raced since his debut back on March 5 when he finished sixth over 1200m at Vaal. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up. |

RACING240 JUVENILE PLATE 1160m
Hard to go past PERFECT SKY (1) who led throughout to score fresh then fourth in stakes class latest. Take catching this company. STAGGERWING (2) broke through for her maiden win over 1000m at Vaal last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider Callan Murray stays aboard and she is worth including. ARABELLA FIGG (3) is facing the starter for the first time. By Erupt and comes from the Alec Laird stable. Respect any positive move in betting. TAX FREE (9) could only manage to finish eighth, beaten 9 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1400m at Greyville. Expected to feature in the finish this time. |

TELEBET 0861 000 822 MAIDEN PLATE 1160m

FALLODON (8) improved last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1160m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. RHYTHMIC QUEEN (12) is appearing for the first time. By Vercingetorix and comes from the Sean Tarry stable. Expect a bold run. MEGHAN'S DIAMOND (1) was last at the races when she finished fifth over 1400m at Durbanville on March 4. Now under the care of new trainer Mike Mathew De Kock. Can make her presence felt. |

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MAIDEN PLATE 1160m
HIGHWAYMAN HARRY (1) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Vaal over 1200m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Bursting to win having placed last four runs. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game. BERRY LANCER (10) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth after being prominent at the corner at his latest appearance over 1000m at this track. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. OCTOBER REEF (15) is appearing for the first time. By Rafeef and is out of the Alec Laird stable. Watch for a betting push. RISING EAGLE (16) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Mike Mathew De Kock. By Vercingetorix from Intriguing Lady. Worth watching for a betting push. |

WWW.TAB4RACING.COM MR 96 HANDICAP 2400m
BELLEROPHON (3) did a good job last start to finish second at this course and distance, beaten half a length. That was in open class. The testing material. ONE MORE STAR (4) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start second at this track over 2000m when beaten 4 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Leading contender. SAMUEL SHARPE (7) got the prize two runs ago at Vaal. Safely held last time out when second over 2400m at Vaal, beaten 3.5 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to feature. DAMOVA (5) has been freshened up since she finished sixth over 2400m at Vaal five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. In the mix. |

RACING TODAY NOVICE HANDICAP 1400m
WINSTON'S WONDER (2) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 8 lengths into seventh over 1600m at this track. Placed 2/2 second-up and will find this easier. Strips fitter and can take this out. ONE OF THOSE DAYS (3) is a promising galloper who saluted at his last run before a break 12 weeks ago over 1400m at this track. Likely to feature. ONETWOBUCKLEMYSHOE (4) is back from a spell of eight months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1600m contest at Turffontein Inside by 3 lengths. Ticks all the right boxes. QUEVANO (6) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1450m at Turffontein Inside. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Worth another chance. |
