GOING:

NEXT TURFFONTEIN RACEMEETING THURSDAY 7 MAY FM 76 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 17)    

Plenty of pressure with Blindfire, Wings Of Kildra and Waiting On Charlie leading the charge. MRS STORMIATRIX (2) reunites with Calvin Habib after scoring with ease over 1000m at Vaal last time. Should be poised just off the lead. In top form lately and can make it three straight. BLINDFIRE (1) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Vaal, most recently beaten 4 lengths into third over 1000m at Vaal. Super consistent lately. Hard to beat if she brings her A-game. TEMPRANILLO (4) is back at the races for the first time since January 27. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1000m at Vaal. Worth plenty of thought. WAITING ON CHARLIE (10) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1160m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
