Turffontein Race 1 - 4racing Welcomes You Mdn Plate
PERIODIC TABLE (5) sets the standard after two narrow seconds, latest just 0.23L at Vaal over 1000m and earlier 2nd at Turffontein over 1160m; proven at the trip and should be strong late. NIGHTSHINE (9) is a key chance with back-to-back 2nds as a juvenile, including over 1199m at Vaal and 2nd at Turffontein over 1000m. TIME HONORED (2) brings solid recent form, last start 3rd at Vaal over 1450m beaten 1.15L, and maps to be competitive dropping in trip. PURPLE RAIN (6) has a 1199m 2nd at Vaal two starts back and gets weight relief, which keeps her in the mix.
