Turffontein Race 3 - Tab Telebet 011 074 0300 Mdn Plate
ROYALE JACKET (3) sets the standard after a close 2nd at Greyville over 1600m last time, and was 4th at Vaal over 1699m prior behind Cronus with MASTER BUDDY (2) 3rd. WINDING POWER (4) has been knocking on the door, runner-up at Vaal over 1699m then 2nd over 1399m, and maps to be strong up to the mile. Master Buddy (2) is a key chance off that recent Vaal 3rd and a narrow 4th at Turffontein over 1600m. KNOWMORE (1) has a 3rd at the mile at Vaal and can improve back to 1600m. The main hopes are Royale Jacket (3), Winding Power (4) and Master Buddy (2).
