Turffontein Race 3 - For Hospitality Bookings Call 011 681 1796 Mdn Plate (F & M)
UP AND UP (3) Finished 4th last time at Vaal. Capable of a strong comeback and stepping back up in distance. Should muster plenty of early speed. Putting a tidy record together so far. Is in good order and can run well. LIFE AND LETTERS (1) Looked good when 3rd last start at the track. Has early speed and positions nicely. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. ROYAL RANT (4) Placed 2nd last run at Vaal. Expect to go close. PURPLE RAIN (2) Backing up quickly. Came in 2nd last run at this track and gets a favourable draw. Won't be far away during the run. K De Melo is a pivotal booking. Not out of this.

On a quick back up. Ran well when 2nd last run around here and has the ideal draw. Displays good tactical speed. Jockey K De Melo is an asset. Good value.

Jumped at $81.00 and just average when 7th last start around here but racing over a longer distance. Likely to get back. Needs a mighty effort to win this.
