The Turffontein Standside track can still take more rain, according to track manager Thomas Rasasamola.
A total of 16.6mm of rain has fallen at Turffontein this week – 7.1mm on Friday night – which along with another 30mm of irrigation had turned the going good to yielding on Saturday morning.
Rasasamola said the track would probably be able to absorb “10-15mm more rain” before the going turned heavy.
Another penetrometer reading will be done shortly before Race 1 which is off at 12h25.
