Turffontein Race 3 - Owa Ceilings Pinnacle Stakes

Small field but great race. BUFFALO STORM CODY (1) is a classy type who can atone. Won three on end then game in defeat in the Grade 1 Cape Flying Championship at weight for age. Unbeaten in three runs this course and distance and expected to bounce back. MAIN DEFENDER (2) is the main danger. Grade 1 winner resuming. Excels fresh and excels here. Go close. WILLIAM ROBERTSON (3) might not have the class as the top two but hard to fault the attitude, especially here. Has never missed the frame this course and distance in seven runs including three wins. Has the ability to take this out. ALMOND SEA (4) is a last-start course and distance winner. has a big finish and expected to be winding up late.
