Turffontein Race 1 - 4racing Welcomes You Mdn Juvenile Plate
RAFE'S ORACLE (7) 3yo by Rafeef on debut for Robbie Sage. Betting as a guide. KNIGHT HEIST (5) In the money when 3rd last start at the track and having second race start. Racing over more ground. No shock to see a win. SNOWBLADE (8) Was competitive when 2nd last time at Vaal and having second career run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Appears well in this. EXPERT WITNESS (3) Back from a spell. Narrowly beaten last run at Vaal. Should improve here and fitter for debut run. Going up in trip. One of the major players.

Was $9.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 7th last run at the track but going over more ground. Expecting to settle positively. Will need to elevate.

Started $6.50 and clearly outclassed when 7th last run at this track but was on debut last time. Going over extra ground. Drawn nicely. Overlook from a betting angle.

First up after a break. Odds of $3.50 and was agonizingly close last run at Vaal. Should improve here and having second race start. Facing an increased distance. Can win.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at this track and was a debutant last start. Stepping up in distance. One of the punters top hopes.

Was $23.00 and performed below standard when 10th last run at this venue but having second career run. Does take a while to get into stride. Hard to have.

Competitive effort when 2nd last time at Vaal and having second race start. Should jump out and bowl along. Drawn well. Racing over a longer distance. Good chance and definitely has claims.
