Turffontein Race 1 - 4Racing Juvenile Plate
WHISPERING DEATH (1) caught the eye when winning over 1450m on the Inside course, at the second time of asking. He won a lot easier than the official margin suggests. He will like the rise to 1600m and from pole position should follow up with another victory. ROYALE JACKET (6) ran a fair race on debut when finishing fourth of seven over 1100m on this course. He raced green but stayed on well at the finish. He would have gained from the experience and will like the rise to 1600m. With the natural improvement that is expected should be fighting out the finish. GOLDEN WARRIOR (3) is a promising type who finished third of nine on debut before a fourth last time over 1450m at Turffontein Inside. Going well and in a fitter state is sure to measure up. He gets the blinkers fitted which should keep his mind on the task at hand. IDEAL SUMMER (4) finished fifth of nine on debut last start. He would have come on from the run and can improve to finish in the placings.
