Turffontein Race 8 - Next Turffontein Racemeeting Saturday 7 March Maiden Plate
BRIGITTE ANNE (10) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1450m at Vaal after being in the firing line on the bend. Ready to win after just being edged out latest. NEBRASKA (2) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1450m at this track. Likely improver with winning claims. LANCE ALOT (1) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1450m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAJOR ARCANA (9) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Has ability and is worth including.
