Turffontein Race 5 - Betway Mr 92 Open Hcp (3-Year-Olds)
DUKE OF LORRAINE (5) Fresh after a break. Nice effort when winning by 2L last time at Vaal and good career start. Expected to settle towards the rear. Underrated. GOTTHETIGER (2) Resuming after a break. Got the cash when winning by 1 1/4L last start here and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Should go close. TROJAN HORSE (3) Back from a break. Got the prize when winning by 1 1/2L last time at this track. Might be ridden for luck. A win wouldn't surprise. HOT CHOICE (7) Ran well when 3rd last start at this track and putting a tidy record together so far. Has run into the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation. Worth a ticket.

Resumes from a break. Solid effort when winning by 1 1/4L last start at the track and drawn nicely. More confidence with jockey K De Melo guiding the horse. Good chance of taking this out.

First up today. Handy enough when winning by 2L last time at Vaal and promising career start. Does take a while to get into stride. Competitive type.

Started $5.50 and came in 4th last start around here but has the ideal draw. Likely to get back. Carrying more weight than last time. Best to watch only.
