In depth

Verdict

Maputo was unfancied on debut at Turffontein but finished a respectable third and shouldn’t be far away here if handling the extra furlong - Woodland Magic and Intothemystic are held on that form. SOUL CONNECTION finished ahead of Titelist when fourth to Roger The Dodger over 5f here last time. Placed over 6f at Turffontein the time before, it’s about time the Vercingetorix gelding was getting his head in front. Gold Lightning would also have solid claims on the pick of his Turf form.
