Turffontein Standside
Race 8 – 16:45
1160m – Next Turffontein Race Meeting Thursday 8 May MR 84 Handicap
1 – Dontshootthebarman
Breeding: Visionaire (USA) – Aquila Jet by Jet Master
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Raymond Danielson
Wgt: 64.0kg
Draw: 6 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 12/1
He is better than his last two starts in strong company. He drops in class and carries top weight of 64kgs. The son of Visionaire tries the 1160m for the first time and at this stage of his career, it may be what he is looking for. We are hoping to see signs of a form return.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:92. Better than last two starts. Carries hefty mass.

Race 8 – 16:45
1160m – Next Turffontein Race Meeting Thursday 8 May MR 84 Handicap
8 – Kwagga Blitz
Breeding: Captain Of All – African Honey by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 1 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Calvin Habib said that he travelled too hard over 1600m last time. He drops back to 1160m as there are no races that suit him over his preferred distance. This race will keep him ticking over and we are hoping for a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. Disappointed in latest. Drops back to a more suitable trip.
