Turffontein Race 2 - Racing Today Novice Hcp
TROMPE L'OEIL (5) Snagged a narrow win last start at Vaal and having second race start. Winning claims. GEOSTORM (1) Backing up quickly. Below par performance when 6th last start around here but solid career start. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. SHERLOCK HOLMES (6) First up after 13 weeks and ran 3rd first up last preparation at Vaal. Shows good early pace. Competing in a less challenging grade. Good career start. Must be considered. SAKURA HANAMI (4) Nice run when 2nd last time at the track. K De Melo is a suitable booking. Not out of this.

On a short turnaround. Odds of $2.75 and unimpressive effort when 6th last start at the track but promising career start. Expecting a strong showing.

First up from a break of 43 weeks and in the money when 3rd first up last preparation here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Has a good draw. Sound chance.

Just missed last time here and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Showing improvement in recent outings. Carrying less weight this time. Marginal contender.

Looked good when 2nd last time at this track. More confidence with jockey K De Melo guiding the horse. Looks like solid value.

First up after 13 weeks and did well when 3rd first up last preparation at Vaal. Displays good tactical speed. Taking on a lower class of opponents. Good chance at a nice price.

Resuming after a break. Started at $5.00 and finished 8th last start at Vaal but suited by the weight drop. Expected to settle towards the rear. Could not recommend.
