Went off 7/2 and scraped home by the narrowest of margins. Thinking it might turn out to be a bit of a " hot " race as well, so might be worth noting CLOTH OF ICE who ran well on debut form a poor draw.10.45 Turffontein - MAGOGO - Took the early 10's on this one and whilst that may have been a mistake on bet365's behalf, he did open on course at 17/2 and is now down to 4's. Trainer / jockey combination solid and also bagged a good draw. Money for the FAV as well, who is now a shade of odds on from odds against.
Now a 17 race maiden. Not unusually for this type of horse, did fly home for 3rd. Will win one sometime, but unlikely to be a decent price.11.20 Turffontein - PUCKER UP - Not on this one, but 10's into 4's for a 16 race maiden certainly catches the eye.
Garbage from the gamble. AS, did manage 2nd and CQ ( Despite drifting further ) ran well for an inevitable 4th.11.10 Greyville - BOLD MOVE - Not my initial choice, but 33's into 14's warranted a closer look. Every chance based on the best of his 4 runs to date and has a claimer taking a very handy 9lbs off. Gone also with ALABAMA SLIDE at 6's, with my original pick of CONSOL QUEEN, now looking huge at 22's.
CALLTOTHE BAR ran well in 2nd. MS, strangely opened 50's on course and drifted to 100's. Ran OK in the end for 6th. One from the same owner / trainer combo did come 3rd at 100's.11.20 Flamingo Park - CALLTOTHEBAR - Put up this one at 12's and went 9's and then quickly into 7's. MONTANA SKY was 66's and is now into 25's. Not much of a form chance, so money for it is interesting.
Quickly went 7/2 and now into 2's.11.20 Turffontein - CATCH TWENTYTWO - Early 20's long gone and now 9/2. Represents a decent stable, who can get one ready. Good young jockey booked as well for debut.
Went off FAV and ran OK for a debutante, but the 2nd and 3rd Fav fought out the finish. Traded as low as 15/8 and as high as 11/4 on course and a bit of money did come late.11.20 Turffontein - CATCH TWENTYTWO - Early 20's with Bet365 long gone and now 9/2. Represents a decent stable, who can get one ready. Good young jockey booked as well for debut.
