Tea For Three

J: K De Melo

T: S G Tarry

Finished ninth of 12 (Turffontein) last month upped to 7f; represents a powerful trainer; inside gate could lead to a ground-saving trip so has to be respected.

Age: 3

Weight: 9-6

OR: -

Days: 35

Date	Course	Race	Type	Weight	Pos	1st/2nd	SP	OR	RPR
9 Jul 26	Tur Turffontein	7f	Md	8-8	9/12	Secret Life (4¼L)	14/1	-	-
16 May 26	Tur Turffontein	6f	Md	9-6	6/11	Perfect Sky (10½L)	50/1	-	17

Firm preference is for PILATES. Tea For Three is an interesting contender with an ideal draw, and Life's Treasures looks a decent option.
