Turffontein Race 3 - Racing Today Mdn Juvenile Plate
JIMMY VEGA (3) Looked good when 2nd last start around here. Shows good early pace. Serious player. KOVIL (4) Ran 5th last run at Vaal. Has the talent to rebound quickly but has more weight to carry. Can get the job done. MIDNIGHT SHOW (6) In the money when 2nd last time at this track and solid career start. Rises in weight. Should go close. MICRO JET (5) Came in 11th last run around here but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Jockey Gavin Lerena and trainer Robbie Sage work well together. Going up in trip. Each way a good option.

Was $67.00 and fairly underwhelming when 6th last run around here but drawn nicely. Yet to fire this campaign. Cannot have in this race.

Competitive effort when 2nd last start at this track. Should race on the speed. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Jumped at $5.50 and finished 5th last run at Vaal. Has the talent to rebound quickly but carrying more weight than last time. Great chance.

At $15.00 ran 11th last run here but has drawn the rails. Gavin Lerena consistently performs well for this stable. Gets back and needs luck. Facing an increased distance. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Placed 2nd last time around here and putting a tidy record together. Has to cope with a weight increase. Should run a competitive race.

Was $11.00 and moderate showing when 7th last start at Vaal and will have to carry extra weight. Expected to settle towards the rear. Could put in your exotics.

Jumped at $5.50 and disappointing run when 6th last time at Vaal but stepping up in trip. Has shown early pace in races to date. Can show up in this at odds.

Jumped at $6.00 and came in 6th last run at Vaal. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Has strong claims.
