GOING:

NEXT TURFFONTEIN RACEMEETING SATURDAY 21 MARCH MR 74 HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 24)    

Status, Carnelo and Itsnowornever can set the pace. STATUS (2) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1600m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he is likely to feature in the finish again. CARNELO (7) fought on for second last start over 1600m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. REPETITION (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 29 when beaten 8 lengths into ninth at Vaal over 2000m. Has the ability to figure prominently. REAL STUNNER (4) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing sixth last start over 2000m at Vaal two months ago. Well placed to atone.
