Turffontein Race 1 - 4Racing Welcomes You Maiden Plate

FUTURENAIRE (9) ran a fair race on debut over 1000m on this course when finishing fourth of 10. He would have gained from the experience and should like the extra distance on offer.

ROYAL FORCE (10) is facing the starter for the first time. By Heavenly Blue and hails from the Lucky Houdalakis stable.
