Timeform on Alex The Great

Timeform pick out three bets at Turffontein on Saturday...

#3 Saragon - Turffontein R7 (14:20 GMT)

Saragon arrives in top form and looks the safest option but this is an open race. Social Order is the most prudent second option, while Florida Quays is another to take into acount.

#6 Tokyo Drift - Turffontein R8 (14:55 GMT)

Tokyo Drift has run plenty of good races recently, including in open company last time, and just about sets the standard. Pop Icon ranks next amongst the remainder, while Movie Magic can scrap it out for third.

#9 Alex The Great - Turffontein R9 (15:30 GMT)

Alex The Great has put together a good series of efforts lately and should prove hard to catch. Varimax is fancied to follow the selection home, while Captain Hindsight can make the first three as well.
