Turffontein Race 5 - Youcanbetonus! Mr 76 Handicap

MONKEY PUZZLE (2) has been super consistent lately stringing together a win and four seconds. Well placed here and should go close again. BUDDY BOY (1) is a promising type back in grade on last couple. This is well within his grasp. GAMER (11) is on the quick back-up and way better than last run. Makes plenty of appeal from the inside barrier. CARNELO (12) is very well weighted with the claim. Fitter again and a winning hope.

At the latest run second last of 10 at Vaal on December 11 over 1600m, 8 len behind Johnny Drama with 58kg at $7. The run before that 2nd of 13 at Vaal on November 20 over 1700m, 2 len behind Commander Of All carrying 59kg at $5. On the quick back-up and way better than last run. Makes plenty of appeal from the inside barrier.

Second-up. First-up after four months 3rd of 7 at Vaal on November 23 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Speedman with 51kg at $41. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Vaal on December 19 over 1800m, 4 len behind Flag Bearer with 55.5kg at $7. Very well weighted with the claim. Fitter again and a winning hope.

Comes here off a 61-day let-up. At the latest run 7th of 10 at Vaal on December 11 over 1600m, 6 len behind Johnny Drama with 52kg at $34. The run before that 4th of 7 at Turffontein Inside on October 16 over 1200m, 6 len behind Maverick Queen carrying 52kg at $21. Cannot be ruled out despite a moderate effort last time.
