1 12H35 – 4Racing Welcomes You Maiden Juvenile Plate
After 2 good runs, GIMMEANOTHERCHANCE is going over a preferred distance and should run a big race. FRENCH IMPACT improved in his 2nd start over this course and distance when just in front of BROTHERHOODOFMAGIC who is improving with racing. Both DREAMLAND and SHAMPIMPI did well on debut, will know more about it and will enjoy the extra. CAPTAIN WARA wasn’t disgraced on debut and could make the money.
Top Tip: BROTHERHOODOFMAGIC (1)
Watch out for: DREAMLAND (4)
2 13H10 – 4racing.tv Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
This is not a strong field but many are looking to improve over the extra. Respect any money for the 3 first-timers especially WOODLAND GLADE. THAT’S MY BABY attracted money on debut but never got into it – watch. SUGARY SWEET is improving and has the form. GODSPEED and BE REAL are looking for minor money.
Top Tip: THAT’S MY BABY (10)
Watch out for: SUGARY SWEET (7)
3 13H45 – Racing240 For Racing. For You Maiden Juvenile Plate
Both JUST VAR and MOCHA FRAPPE found no support on their respective debuts and performed well. They can only improve but are drawn wide. PRINCEOFGREEN is improving and should be ready to challenge. FEEL ALL RIGHT is looking for money. Respect money for the four debutantes.
Top Tip: JUST VAR (2)
Watch out for: MOCHA FRAPPE (4)
4 14H20 – Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate
KING OF THE SEAS is reported to being green in recent workouts. Any ability should still see him take honours. However, strong front runner RAPTOR ISLAND could take advantage of this and establish a winning lead. SAKA GOLD has drawn wide but is looking for Trifecta money along with EFFICIENT TRADER who is capable of better.
Top Tip: SAKA GOLD (2)
Watch out for: RAPTOR ISLAND (1)
5 14H55 – Tab Telebet 0861 000 822 Maiden Plate (F & M)
POURSOMESUGARONME could be suited to this track and from pole position could get her just reward. SOMEDAY MAYBE is improving with racing has has more scope for improvement, however, CHILLI MARMALADE (races before this) was only 1.75 lengths behind her and could challenge. PRIMROSE PATH and UNITED WE STAND are maturing and could get into the money. INEVITABLE has ability but is back from a lengthy layoff – respect any money.
Top Tip: SOMEDAY MAYBE (2)
Watch out for: POURSOMESUGARONME (1)
6 15H30 – Racehorse Owners Association Mr 96 Handicap
Of the 7 runners carded 6 have equally the same chance of success. Great race. WILLOW’S WISH in top form and looking for a hat-trick. OTTO LUYKEN should be on top of him being 1.5kg better off for 1.75 lengths. The latter’s stablemates, FLASHY APACHE and HOME OF THE BRAVE, finished together last time and either could win it. TWIN TURBO will ensure a decent pace and could keep up the gallop. CLIMATE CONTROL could get into the mix.
Top Tip: WILLOW’S WISH (2)
Watch out for: FLASHY APACHE (1)
7 16H00 – betontab.co.za Fm 73 Handicap (F & M)
MIDNIGHT CRYSTAL is bang in form and has a hat-trick chance, however, she is 6kg worse off with PASHASHA for a neck defeat, 4kg worse off with WINNING QUEEN for 1.75 lengths and 7kg worse off with ENGLISH PRIMROSE for 3 lengths. On paper she is held by all three but it doesn’t often work like this. GILDA GRAY has a shout if puts it in.
Top Tip: MIDNIGHT CRYSTAL (2)
Watch out for: PASHASHA (3)
8 16H35 – Next Turffontein Racemeeting Sunday 7 May Mr 75 Handicap
SHARAPOVA won first time back from Cape Town and followed up with a good 2nd in her post-maiden. She has scope for further improvement. CALL ME MASTER will be catching late from a wide draw. TWOSIDESTOASTORY and STANLEY have good P.olytrack form and hoping to bring it to the turf. LIBECCIO braces before this – watch. GREEN SCEPTRE comes off a maiden win but meets stronger.
Top Tip: CALL ME MASTER (1)
Watch out for: SHARAPOVA (3)
