Turffontein Race 3

Champion Two-Year-Old Colt/Gelding: Esteemed Maiden Juvenile Plate

Prize Money: $9,688

CARNARVON (2) is lightly raced with decent form lines to his credit. He finished second two runs back at this track over 1000m, then last start finished a close-up fifth of 12 over 1160m at this track. Looks well placed in this line-up and should prove hard to beat. CHAPBOOK (3) dead-heated with the top selection for fifth on debut last start when sent out at long odds. She would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected should be figuring in the finish. PALACE ATTACK (8) ran a fair race on debut over this course and distance last start when finishing fourth of eight over today's course and distance. With racing experience now behind him has each-way clams. TIGER'S CAPTAIN (11) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of James Crawford. By Trippi from Captain's Reward. Expecting a bold run fresh-up.

Was at very long odds at debut, 10th of 12 at this track on May 17 over 1160m, 7 len behind Victory In Orleans carrying 57.5kg at $101. Needs to do a lot more than he did on debut.

At the latest run 5th of 12 at this track on May 17 over 1160m, 2.5 len behind Victory In Orleans carrying 60kg at $11. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on May 1 over 1000m, 2 len behind One Tiger with 60kg at $13.50. Can build on that encouraging effort last start.
