Turffontein Race 4

7F Stakes

Prize Money: $10,471

CURTISS CONDOR (3) was all at sea in the early stages of his debut effort over 1200m on the Vaal Classic course last start. However, the manner in which he finished off his race was encouraging. He would have gained from the experience and will love the rise to 1450m. With the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to beat. MIGHTY EAGLE (8) has run two fair races to date. Gavin Lerena steps back into the saddle and he is one of the leading contenders. MISS TAKES (4) stayed on well when fifth over 1000m at the Vaal last time. The son of The United States should enjoy the extra distance on offer and if this run has not come too soon, he can place. GOLDEN ALEXIA (5) is better than her last start run would suggest as she was reported to be not striding out. If finding the form of her previous two efforts, she should give the males a decent run for their money.

Was well-supported at debut, 3rd in a small field at Vaal on March 25 over 1200m, 3 len behind Gimme A Storm carrying 60kg at $3. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since he finished last of 10 at Vaal December 19 over 1450m, 99 len behind Primal Quest carrying 59kg at $67. On debut ran last of 9 at Turffontein Standside December 3 over 1000m, 15 len behind Thunderbird with 60kg at $41. Doesn't appeal.

Raced twice to date. At very long odds at debut, 5th of 9 at this track on March 13 over 1200m, 6 len behind Espinoza carrying 57.5kg at $51. Last start 5th of 12 at Vaal on April 15 over 1000m, 2 len behind Kaalvoet carrying 60kg at $26. Strong winning hope.

Second-up. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after two months 4th of 9 at this track on March 13 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Espinoza carrying 57.5kg at $11. Previously second-up 4th of 8 at Vaal on January 2 over 1450m, 6 len behind Gregarious with 57kg at $9. One of the top chances.

Back from a long spell. Only had one start last campaign ran last of 9 at this track on November 7 over 1200m, 13 len behind Busstopinhounslow carrying 57.5kg at $41. First up last campaign second last of 8 at this track on June 13 over 1500m, 9 len behind Oh My Gucci Girl with 57.5kg at $6. Certainly one to consider.
