Turffontein Race 2 - Joburg Tourism Company Conditional Maiden Plate
ROAMING SPIRIT (8) was well fancied when resuming last start over 1160m at this track when second, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has a good association with Raymond Danielson with a run of three top-three results. Bold showing expected. GREEN SAPPHIRE (12) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Good chance to break through. GERBERA (11) had support on debut last time out when she boxed on fairly to finish fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths over 1200m at Vaal. Not to be discounted. GREEN STREET (13) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at Vaal. Can figure in the finish.
