Turffontein Race 3

Telebet 0861 000 822 Juvenile Plate (Fillies)

Prize Money: $10,309

SECRET FATE (3) was well fancied and far too good on debut winning by a space then straight into open class and placed latest. Take catching again. WITHIN REACH (4) was also a debut winner then placed at only other start before a break. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will give a great sight. QUEEN LEILA (1) built on a nice third two starts back at Vaal with success over 1400m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 0.6 lengths. Has the class to take care of this field. IMPRESSIVE (2) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1400m contest at Vaal last time out by 4 lengths. A bold showing is expected.

Racing well recently. At the latest run won by 0.6 len at this track June 7 over 1400m defeating No Drama with 60kg at $8. The run before that 3rd of 8 at Vaal on May 28 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Arrogance carrying 58kg at $8. Stepped up to this trip for the first time here latest and was too good. Expected to go close again.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, favourite; won by 5.5 len at Vaal May 21 over 1400m defeating Freestyle Dance carrying 60kg at $2.10. Last start 3rd in a small field at this track on June 7 over 1400m, 1.4 len behind Queen Leila carrying 60kg at $2.70. Too good on debut the straight into open class and placed latest. Take catching again.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation second in a small field at Vaal March 28 over 1400m, a neck behind Moana carrying 60kg at $2.70. At her first start won by 0.8 len Turffontein Inside March 12 over 1450m defeating Moana carrying 60kg at $2. Promising filly. Can go on with the job this prep.
