SAF - TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE   27 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

TAB CAMELLIA STAKES 1160m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 22)   Zero on the back straight to 4m on the bend with a 4m spur at the 700m mark.  

Several of these have terrific gate speed so the pressure will be on from the outset. TIME FO ORCHIDS (5) is a winner of her last four starts for the Johan Janse van Vuuren stable. She was settled at the rear of the field last time and ran on well over 1000m on this course. She is in a very good space and can notch up her sixth- career victory. WHITE PEARL (6) was not disgraced when finishing third of 10 last time. On best form she should be fighting out the finish. ONE FELL SWOOP (7) is a winner of four of her last five starts. She shows good speed in her races and jumping from an inside draw can notch up the hat-trick. MRS GERIATRIX (1) ran a fair race last start when finishing third of seven. She won her only attempt over this course and distance. On best form shown she should be fighting out the finish.
