Turffontein Inside
Race 4 – 14:35
1000m – Tab Pays Full Dividend, No Limits Merit Rated 80 Handicap
6 – Blow Me Down
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: S’manga Khumalo
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 5 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He seems to have lost a bit of form of late but drops back to the 1000m where he seems to be far more affective. S’manga Khumalo regains the ride here and from a very handy draw, we’ll be looking to see him reproduce that smart turn of foot he has put on display before.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:76. Much better than his last two starts. Can improve back over 1000m.
Race 7 – 16:10
1800m – WSB Grand Heritage 05 December Merit Rated 98 Hcp (3YOs)
6 – Purple Panther
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 54.5kg
Draw: 6 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He was an impressive winner last time out, when landing his maiden victory in just his 4th career start. Now stepping into the big league, he lines up in this MR 98 Handicap for 3-year olds and faces some stiff opposition. The form of his maiden win has been franked and having given the impression that he is looking for further, he now steps up to this 1800m test. With a useful galloping weight of 54.5kg to shoulder, Calvin Habib retains the ride and we’ll be hoping for a big performance from this talented son of Coup De Grace.
Winning Form Comment: Finished well to shed maiden and the form of that race has been franked, respect.
