Turffontein Race 2 - Betway Maiden Plate (F & M)
WEARINGOFTHEGREEN (2) is an unraced daughter of Kingman from the Mike de Kock stable with Gavin Lerena in the saddle. She does not need to be a stable superstar to win in this field. If not too green, she should start her career on a positive note. The markets will be the best guide here. POPLAR PARK (8) ran a fair race on debut here over this trip. She found some betting support that day which suggests that she was doing some good work at home. With the natural improvement that is expected, she should be right in the finish this time. STROOPSOET (5) was her own worst enemy over 1450m last time as she raced too keenly in the early stages. The drop to 1200m should suit her well and if finding the form of her penultimate run, she can improve to finish in the placings. SUNFIRE (4) is better than her last start as she was reported to be not striding out. She gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which should keep her mind on the task at hand. Each way value in an even contest.

Second-up. First-up after a year ran last of 13 at Vaal on September 5 over 1000m, 18 len behind Royal Horizon with 60kg at $126. Previously second-up 12th of 14 at Vaal on October 5 over 1200m, 16 len behind Gocekwithlove with 59kg at $126. Unlikely to threaten.

This Kingman filly is a four-year-old having her first start. Worth considering if there is a move for her.

Last start 5th of 8 at this track on August 24 over 1450m, 8 len behind Accept Cookies with 57kg at $11. The start before that 5th of 9 at Vaal on July 30 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Kings Again with 60kg at $34. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.

Third-up today. Resuming 5th of 8 at this track on July 11 over 1000m, 3 len behind Seventeen Again carrying 60kg at $17. Last start ran last of 8 at this track on August 24 over 1450m, 9 len behind Accept Cookies carrying 57kg at $13.50. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

Was at long odds at debut, 9th of 13 at Vaal on August 21 over 1200m, 8 len behind Francilien carrying 58kg at $26. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.
