NEXT TURFFONTEIN RACE MEETING THURSDAY 12 MARCH FM 79 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 26) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expect a strong tempo with Royal Kailani pressing on from an outside draw, with Glamorous Lady nearby. TRAIL RUNNER (5) is in top form, most recently recording a win by 1.1 lengths over 1450m at Turffontein Inside to make it two on the bounce. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Best form puts her right in this. QUIET WINTER (7) finished 0.6 lengths from the winner in third in a much better run last time at Vaal over 1200m. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give a great sight. TRADITIONAL BELIEF (9) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 1160m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Aided by the rails draw and she is right in the mix again. CAPE SAFFRON (3) was beaten 6 lengths into sixth in a 1600m contest at this track five weeks ago. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
