Turffontein Race 3

Allied Steelrode Charity Mile 1 November Graduation Plate

Stake: $9,604

PARISIAN WALKWAY (1) is a talented galloper fitter for a nice return. Ran fifth in the Grade 1 SA Classic when last second-up so has the figures to account for this field. Goes close. THE EQUATOR (2) resumes and went the paddock a winner. Tackled far tougher races last time in but well placed here and has won fresh. BEYNAC (3) was fair fresh then was an effortless winner when second-up. Can only be fitter and has strong claims again. IMPACT INVESTOR (5) just missed fresh on the inside track and strips fitter. Nicely drawn and looks a leading player.

Third-up today. Resuming second last of 10 at Turffontein Inside on September 20 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Count Huhtikuu carrying 56.5kg at $26. Second-up scored a big 4.5 len win at Turffontein Inside October 4 over 1600m defeating Zip Code carrying 60kg at $11. Back in form with an easy win last time. Has strong claims.

Second run back. First-up after three months 2nd of 10 at Turffontein Inside on October 16 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Birthright carrying 54kg at $4. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 at this track on May 11 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind The Ultimate King carrying 59kg at $21. Nice return and off the inside looks a solid top-three hope.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 38-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 13 at Vaal on September 18 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Echo Check with 54.5kg at $34. The run before that 4th of 9 at Vaal on August 30 over 1450m, 3 len behind Chieftain's Shield carrying 56.5kg at $21. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.
