Turffontein Race 4 - Betway Mr 96 Hcp
TROMPE L'OEIL (6) Strong performance to win by 1 1/2L last time at Vaal and putting a tidy record together. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign and has a positive draw. Will be in the finish. TIME IS PRECIOUS (5) First up and bold effort to win by 1 3/4L first up last preparation at Vaal. Showing consistent performance in races. Suited by the weight drop. Winning prospect. IT'S PERSONAL (2) Handy enough when winning by 1 1/2L last start at this venue. Can get the job done. CHIEFTAIN (1) Not competitive when 6th last start at the track and going up in weight. Does take a while to get into stride. Can run into the money.

First up and winner by 1 3/4L first up last preparation at Vaal. Solid career start. Carrying less weight this time. Will attract plenty of interest.
