Turffontein Race 3

6F Stakes

Prize Money: $8,183

BJORN IRONSIDE (2) was super-impressive when winning his maiden at the third time of asking, over this course and distance. Gavin Lerena retains the ride and the combination should prove hard to beat. PISTOL PETE (1) should have finished closer to the winner last time out. He has won twice and finished third once from as many starts on this course. Rates well as an each-way chance. WOLF MOUNTAIN (3) showed good speed when winning his maiden over 1100m last time. He is a progressive type and should be figuring in the finish. COPPER CLIFF (6) started at big odds on debut last start when finishing fourth over 1100m at this track. Likely improver who is among the better chances.

Third-up today. First-up 2nd of 10 at Greyville on May 4 over 1000m, long-neck behind Twenty One May carrying 60kg at $2.10. Second-up favourite; scored a big 7 len win at this track June 9 over 1160m defeating Bay Empire carrying 57kg at $1.30. Promising galloper. Should go well.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track June 9 over 1100m defeating Pibe De Oro carrying 60kg at $2.30. The start before that 2nd of 7 at Vaal on May 16 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind French Bolt with 60kg at $1.40. Broke through last time and is worth thought again.

Was at very long odds at debut, 4th of 13 at this track on June 9 over 1100m, 2 len behind Wolf Mountain carrying 60kg at $67. Expected to be further improved and ideally placed here.
