PINNACLE STAKES at Turffontein on Tuesday night
T
The mystique and thrill of Turffontein night racing action makes a long overdue return when some serious class and quality gallopers turn out under the lights on Tuesday evening.
he big names opening their season campaigns include the 2013 Triple Tiara queen Cherry On The Top, as well as SA Derby winner Wylie Hall. The ten race card
is headed by two competitive R115 000 Pinnacle Stakes.
Rested
The 1400m event sees a field of fourteen runners going to post on the standside track, with most of the big guns returning from a break.
It looks a minefield if one throws in the mish mash of factors like distance suitability, fitness and barrier draws, that could ultimately influence the result. The two top rated runners are Triple Tiara winner Cherry On The Top, and
the exciting Hawaii Stakes winner, Whiteline Fever. Both return from rests and make their respective seasonal debut.
Good Draw
Sean Tarry’s Whiteline Fever is a major contender from his good draw. The son of Right Approach last ran on Super Saturday, when running on well for just under three lengths behind Jackson in the Gr1 Champions Cup.
It is worth noting that he came out and won the Hawaii Stakes over Tuesday’s course and distance after a three month rest earlier this year, and will be partnered again by Raymond Danielson who rode him there. He thus runs well fresh and that profile puts him right on top of the list of considerations.
