Turffontein Race 2 - 4Racing App Maiden Plate
TIGER'S CAPTAIN (1) Ran 3rd last time at Vaal. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Definite winning chance. STORMACT (10) Ran 4th last time at Vaal. Should improve. Might be ridden for luck. Has the ability to take this out. WILD AS THE WIND (4) Alec Laird 4yo debutant by Rafeef. Watch the market. LIFE IN COLOUR (8) Came in 7th last start at Vaal but having second career run. Goes down in weight. Knockout chance in this.

Competitive effort when 3rd last time at Vaal. Has plenty of early speed. Stamps its reason for consideration.

Jumped at $19.00 and was nothing special when 6th last run at Vaal but has a good draw. Might have to make up considerable ground. Not hopeless.

Was $101.00 and mediocre display when 7th last start here. Shows good early pace. First appearance for a new trainer. Slim hope.

Backing up quickly. At $5.00 performed below standard when 9th last start at Vaal but was on debut last time. Likely to be well placed early. Has drawn the rails. Place claims at best.

At $51.00 below par performance when 7th last start at this venue but was a debutant last start. Gets back and needs luck. Have to look elsewhere.

Resumes after a spell. At $17.00 fairly underwhelming when 7th last time at Vaal but having second race start. Blaine Marx Jacobson and A P Peter are a proven combination. Looking elsewhere.
