Turffontein Race 8

Tab.co.za Middle Stakes

Prize Money: $13,962

DOITWITHDIAMONDS (3) won a good race over 1800m on this course last time. She has finished second in both her efforts over this course and distance. She should give the males a decent run for their money. APACHE SON (7) was an easy winner of his last start over 2000m on this course. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from his wide draw and will be mowing down the frontrunners. PRESLEY (6) was in the money first up at this track then could only manage fifth last time out over 1400m at Vaal. One of the chances based on his best recent efforts. NATYAM (2) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 2000m at this track. Looks better placed here and can return to form.

Resuming after a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign second last of 10 at this track January 11 over 1600m, 16 len behind Pomodoro's Jet carrying 57.5kg at $67. When resuming last campaign tenth of 12 at Vaal September 26 over 2000m, 13 len behind Royal Edition carrying 62kg at $26. This looks too tough.

Useful type. At the latest run favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track April 12 over 1800m defeating Juliet Tango with 58kg at $2.80. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Turffontein Inside on March 20 over 2000m, neck behind Dimako's Jet with 61kg at $1.80. Sure to go well again.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 2nd of 7 at Vaal on February 25 over 1450m, 0.8 len behind Royal Force with 55kg at $15. Second run from a spell won by a neck at this track March 22 over 1600m defeating Aristotle carrying 57kg at $5.50. In winning form but this a tough assignment.

Useful gelding. Last start 4th of 16 at Vaal on April 15 over 1800m, 2.75 len behind King's Express carrying 60.5kg at $9.50. The run before that second last of 7 at this track on March 15 over 1800m, 5.5 len behind Tamarisk Tree carrying 50kg at $21. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Most recently 3rd of 16 at Vaal on April 15 over 1800m, 2.5 len behind King's Express with 57kg at $21. The start before that 4th of 12 at Turffontein Inside on February 27 over 1800m, 0.8 len behind King's Express with 56.5kg at $5.50. This looks too tough.
