Turffontein Race 1

Equus Champion Three-Year-Old Filly: Wish List Mdn Plate (3 Year-Old Fillies)

Prize Money: $9,450

CELTIC MANOR (1) is back after a break of three months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Can make a winning return. EMPRESS OF PEACE (2) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1600m at Vaal. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BE THE ONE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CHAMPAGNE AIR (6) is a two-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 10 at Vaal on August 27 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Xtatic carrying 57kg at $4. The start before that 2nd of 7 at Turffontein Standside on August 8 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Hot Choice carrying 54.5kg at $34. Overdue for a win. Leading chance again.
