SAF - TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE   16 Jun 2024
 
GOING: G

4RACING PINNACLE STAKES 1160m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 18)    

Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Mover And Shaker, Anfields Rocket and Captain Hindsight leading the charge. MOVER AND SHAKER (1) ran a good race when fourth of 11 over 1000m on this course last time. He showed good speed before getting outrun late. Gavin Lerena is in the saddle and in this field, he may be hard to peg back. POWER BROKER (5) has won three times, finished second once and third twice from seven starts on this course. Rates well as a leading chance. THE AFRICA HOUSE (7) won last start as the favourite over 1400m at this track. Drops in the weights and another big run is on the cards. SILENT WAR (9) resumes from a spell after closing off last prep with three consecutive placings. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and is in the mix.
