Turffontein Race 2 - Youcanbetonus! Juvenile Plate
PRAYERSANDPROMISES (2) Really dug deep when winning last time around here. Been in the placegetters each attempt this preparation. Definite winning chance. DEAR DOC (1) Was rock solid when winning by 7L last time at Vaal and good career start. Displays good tactical speed. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign. Up to these. MEGA AWESOME (6) 3yo debutant sired by Rafeef for trainer Mike Kock & Mathew De Kock. Watch the betting. DADS DREAM (3) Back from a break. Finished 4th last time at Vaal but will appreciate a good draw. Jockey Gavin Lerena and trainer Robyn Klaasen are usually competitive together. One to watch closely and a legitimate knockout hope.

Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 7L last time at Vaal and promising career start. Will be positive in the run early. Has claims.

Won narrowly by a head last time around here. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Should progress and will be close.

Fresh today. Odds of $4.50 and ran 4th last time at Vaal but gets a favourable draw. Gavin Lerena and Robyn Klaasen are a combination worth noting. Respect the betting.

Jumped at $34.00 and not up to standard when 8th last time at Vaal. Likely to get back in the field. Others much better.

Missed by a narrow margin last start at this venue and can find a nice position from the draw. Expected to settle towards the tail. Modest contender.
