SAF - TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE   03 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G

CHAMPION SPRINTER 1160m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 19)    

Plenty of pressure on from the outset. BUFFALO STORM CODY (2) has won both his efforts as a gelding, the latest over 1100m at this track as the hot favourite. He has plenty of class about him and he should bring up the hat-trick. READY TO CHARGE (1) ran on strongly when winning his last start over 1000m on this course. He would have come on from the run and rates well as an each-way chance. QUANTUM THEORY (6) tried hard when second over 1000m on this course last time. Don't overlook his chances. DANTONFROMSANDTON (3) won well last start over 1200m at the Vaal. Two of his four career victories have come on this course. Should prove hard to beat again.
