Turffontein Race 2 - Racing Today Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
EMERALD FORGE (3) is a daughter of Gimmethegreenlight from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and if not in need of the outing, she should start her career on a positive note. CRYSTAL GROVE (1) is a daughter of The United States from the Sean Tarry yard with Craig Zackey in the saddle. If not too green in the running, she should produce a promising showing. VEGAS GIRL (11) was in need of her debut effort over 1000m on this course. She would have gained from the experience and should make the natural improvement with Ryan Munger retaining the ride. OPERA FAN (6) finished midfield last start when on debut over 1000m at this track. Better for that run and jumping from the inside draw can place.

First-starter by Danon Platina out of Up In Smoke (ZAR R 175,000 (Cape Thoroughbred Sales 2024 PREMIER YEARLING SALE POWERED BY TATTERSALLS) purchase). Prefer to see her under race conditions.

Two-year-old filly who is first starter by Gimmethegreenlight out of Winter's Forge. Likely to come in for support.

Was at very long odds at debut, 5th of 8 at this track on February 8 over 1000m, 10 len behind Easy Tiger with 57kg at $151. Will have benefited from that outing and is likely to measure up.
