Turffontein Race 3

Tab Telebet 011 074 0300 Maiden Plate

Prize Money: $9,688

ROCK MY BOAT (2) finished 2.25 lengths away in second last time out at Turffontein Inside. On a nine-day back-up. Has been runner-up at the mile last two and is bursting to win. Gets chance. DOCTOR STRANGELOVE (4) is on debut for the Alec Laird stable. Three-year-old gelding by Master Of My Fate from Giveusakiss. One to keep close tabs on, particularly if popular with punters. MIRROR FLECTION (1) closed last prep six-and-a-half months ago when he finished ninth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and likely to feature. EMERALD COUNTESS (6) has not appeared since she finished seventh over 1450m at Turffontein Inside on March 12. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
