Turffontein Race 5 - Racing240 Mdn Plate
HOT COCOA (3) First up and ran 2nd first up last preparation at Vaal. Has minimal work to do from the draw. Winning hope. SUTTER'S MILL (10) Tidy effort when 3rd last time at this venue and gets a favourable stall. Shows good early pace. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Can win. THE REASON (4) Disappointing outing when 6th last time at the track. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Won't be far away. BE ALL YOU CAN BE (5) Close to a win last time at Vaal and fitter for debut run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Blaine Marx Jacobson usually performs well for this stable. Can go on with it.

Jumped at $15.00 and came in 5th last time here. Should be rolling forward early from the wide stall. This looks a tough assignment.

Jumped at $51.00 and was ordinary when 8th last time at Vaal but having second career run. Likely to settle back in the field. Considering others.

Close to claiming the win last time at Vaal and was on debut last time. Displays good tactical speed. Blaine Marx Jacobson and Fabian Habib are a combination worth noting. Has a good chance.

Was $1.67 and finished 4th last start here. Should bounce back and carrying less weight this time. The wide stall shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Great chance.

Jumped at $29.00 and unimpressive effort when 9th last run at Greyville but will benefit with the weight drop. Needs to find a lot more.

Odds of $23.00 and came in 7th last time at this track but having second career run. Does take a while to get into stride. Gets a reduction in weight. Will be facing a challenge.

Placed 3rd last time here and will try to take advantage of the stall. Has early speed and positions nicely. Has run into the placings all attempts this preparation. Strong claims.
