Turffontein Race 7

Betway Spring Spree Stakes (Listed)

Stake: $16,070

QUANTUM THEORY (1) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Turffontein Standside two starts back then landed the prize by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. NIGHT BOMBER (8) has switched yards since finishing third seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at this track. Definite winning chance in this line-up. CHYAVANA (2) is a distance specialist who finished 13th two runs back at Turffontein Standside then improved last time out to score by 0.7 lengths over 1200m at this track when he came with a powerful finish. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. COSMIC STAR (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1000m at this track. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by 1.5 len at Turffontein Standside August 2 over 1000m defeating Sheldon with 54kg at $2.70. Before that 2nd of 9 at Turffontein Standside on July 6 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Whistle The Tune carrying 57.5kg at $2.80. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
