Turffontein Standside
Race 1 – 12:20
1160m – 4Racing Welcomes You Maiden Plate (F & M)
9 – Nkwenkwezi
Breeding: Erupt (Ire) – Sainte Camille by Lateral (GB)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Louis Nhlapo
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 5 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She produced an encouraging debut effort over 1000m on this course, which was a nice surprise. She has come out of that run well and races a week later. If repeating her debut run, she may be in with a chance.
Winning Form Comment: Promising debut. Genuine threat.

Race 2 – 12:55
1160m – Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate
3 – Kwagga Blitz
Breeding: Captain Of All – African Honey by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Chase Maujean
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 8 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He had to overcome an awkward draw on the Vaal Classic course last time. Winds of Change looks very hard to beat as he has placed in feature races. Chase Maujean is booked to ride, and he should finish in the first two.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. Better than moderate latest. Has the form to be competitive.

Race 8 – 16:25
1000m – Next Turffontein Race Meeting Thursday 23 January MR 80 Handicap
1 – Dontshootthebarman
Breeding: Visionaire (USA) – Aquila Jet by Jet Master
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Raymond Danielson
Wgt: 64.0kg
Draw: 7 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He faced stronger company in his last two starts and takes a drop in class. His big mass of 64kgs is an obvious concern. However, he is doing well at home and with Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Raymond Danielson up, he should be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 10 wks. Best MR:88. Better than last two runs. Carries hefty mass.
