Turffontein Race 4 - Youcanbetonus! Mdn Plate
KWAITO (10) Honest race when 3rd last start here and was a debutant last start. Jockey K De Melo rates highly aboard. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Winnable race. TORPEDO (11) Declarationofpeace 3yo on debut for trainer Fabian Habib. Betting as a guide. BERRY LANCER (8) Competitive effort when 3rd last time around here and getting better in recent performances. Likely to be well placed early. Gets some weight relief. Will be competitive. ISAAC STEPHAN (1) Fresh after a break. Placed 2nd last run at Vaal. Jockey Craig Zackey and trainer A P Peter make an imposing pair. Could work into the placings.

Fresh from a break. Looked good when 2nd last run at Vaal. Jockey Craig Zackey is in top form for this stable. Has some claims.

Ran 6th last start at Vaal. Should muster plenty of early speed. Jockey Blaine Marx Jacobson and trainer Fabian Habib have enjoyed a lot of success together. Betting is the best guide.

Jumped at $41.00 and came in 6th last start at Vaal but has drawn the rails. Racing for a new trainer but coming back in trip. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

Back from a 40 week spell. Started at $41.00 and clearly outclassed when 6th last start at Vaal and will be dropping in distance. First start for a new trainer. Prefer in an easier race.

Did well when 3rd last time at this track and form has been improving over recent runs. Has plenty of early speed. Will appreciate the drop in weight. Has claims.

Jumped at $23.00 and finished 7th last time at Vaal but having second career run. Likely to get back in the run. Has a positive stall. Could put in your exotics.
