Runner comments, Trf 12 July, Greyville 16 July

De Kock Racing has three runners at the Turffontein standside meeting on Saturday. Mat de Kock has provided comments for this, and the meeting on Wednesday at HWB Greyville.

Turffontein, Saturday, 12 July:

Race 2, 1160m: “Here we have a first-up runner in Babette’s Feast, a daughter of Hawwaam. She is showing us quality work. She’ll need further in time, but based on her work she has strong eachway claims.”

Race 4, 1160m: “Miss Argonaut won a very nice race for us first time out, on the Highveld. She has made more improvement since. This is competitive, but she should be included in all bets, a decent filly.”

Race 7, 1600m: “Wecangoallnight caught the eye last week, he moved up nicely, he is getting closer. We’ve elected to back him up quickly as he is doing well and this looks like a race in which he can make the top three. We’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t earn a stake cheque.”

HWB Greyville, Wednesday 13 July:

Race 1, 1200m: “A first run on the Poly for Gotta Go Eddie after three nice starts on turf, getting closer. Ultimately, he is another who will need a bit more ground, but he has made some natural improvement going into this race and from a good draw he has good eachway claims.”

Race 4, 1800m: “We expected just a little better from Corrupt when he made his debut for us a few weeks ago. But what that 1600m run did show us, was that he appears to want the extra distance. He should be included in all bets, still showing excellent work.”

Race 6, 1000m: “We’ve had a few experimental runs with Mojo Man, but they didn’t have the desired effect. We’re bringing him back to his tried and tested 1000m, with a 4kg claimer on his back.  Hopefully that will make a big difference. We’re also putting blinkers back on, hoping he can bounce back and be very competitive. Include him.”
