Turffontein Race 8 - Tab 4Racing App Pinnacle Stakes
THE ULTIMATE KING (1) Close to claiming the win last time around here and challenged by weaker competitors. Gavin Lerena does know the horse very well. Has been a model of consistency this preparation. Warrants a bet. OLIVIA'S WAY (3) Tidy run when 3rd last start at this venue and back in an easier grade. Very competitive this campaign and proven performer at this distance. Appears as a winning threat. CHOISAANADA (2) Secured the win by a slim margin last run at this venue and has the ideal gate. Likely to be well placed early. One of the hopes. TAEGAN'S CHAMP (6) Was competitive when 3rd last run at this track. Blaine Marx Jacobson and Fabian Habib have a high strike rate together. Large claim helps. Capable of getting into the money.

Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track in G3 on February 14 over 1800m, head behind Fire Attack with 58kg at $4.30. The race before that 8th of 10 at Vaal on January 24 over 1800m, 5 len behind Aristotle with 60kg at $4.50. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run won by a long-neck at this track February 7 over 1600m defeating Willy Meet Again with 56kg at $7. Before that second last of 10 at Vaal on January 24 over 1800m, 10 len behind Aristotle carrying 59.5kg at $17. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.

Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd in a small field at this track in G3 on February 14 over 1800m, 2 len behind Fire Attack with 56.5kg at $3.30. The run before that 3rd of 9 at this track on January 11 over 2000m, 3 len behind Navajo Nation carrying 58kg at $3.30. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.

Resuming after a break of nine weeks. Finished off last campaign second last of 10 at Kenilworth in the G2 Midmar Premier Trophy January 10 over 1800m, 6 len behind Okavango carrying 60kg at $34. When resuming last campaign sixth of 8 at this track October 26 over 1160m, 5.5 len behind Buffalo Storm Cody carrying 55kg at $34. Unlikely to trouble the top few.

Comes here off a 30-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 8 at Turffontein Inside on February 12 over 1800m, 8 len behind Tommy Shelby with 61kg at $21. The run before that ran last of 10 at Vaal on January 24 over 1800m, 30 len behind Aristotle with 55kg at $26. Genuine chance this time around.
