Turffontein Race 3 - Tab 4Racing App Maiden Plate (F & M)
DELAWARE RIVER (2) looks the cleat top pick. Was just tipped out last time similar distance. Long overdue and well placed to take this out. AQUARIUS (7) improved nicely on debut to pace last time and has good upside. Strong winning hope. PALACE SCRIPT (10) hasn't been far away both starts to date. Improver who should be right in the finish. KORTVANDRAAD (1) is much better than last two suggest. Fitter and can do much better.
