Turffontein Race 2 - Wilgerbosdrift Sa Fillies Nursery (Grade 2)
GLASTONBURY (4) after finishing second of eight fresh-up two starts back went one better last start when scoring over 1000m at this track when well supported. Despite jumping outwards at the start, she showed good pace and won with plenty left in the tank. She has class about her and may be the one to beat. ELEGANTRIX (3) won on debut here two back as the hot favourite, then last start finished third to the top selection over 1000m at this track. She will like the extra distance today and should be fighting out the finish. ARASHI (1) followed up her fresh-up maiden victory with a good second over this course and distance last start. She showed good speed that day before getting outrun late. She takes on her own sex and must be considered. ONE FINE WINTER (7) was less than a length from the winner when second at this track on debut then went one better last start when scoring an easy win as the hot favourite over 1100m at this track. Looks a smart filly and should be hard to beat.

Getting off the mark on debut; won by 2.25 len at Vaal March 6 over 1000m defeating Queen's Pact with 60kg at $76. Unlikely to be contesting the finish despite that strong debut.

Had two starts to date. At very big odds at debut, 3rd of 7 at Fairview on February 21 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Anotherdanceforme with 57kg at $51. Last start favourite; won by 5.5 len at Fairview March 7 over 1000m defeating Winter Warfare carrying 57.5kg at $1.70. Happy enough to avoid.

Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 7 at this track on March 1 over 1000m, neck behind Charming Cheetah with 54.5kg at $34. Last start favourite; scored a big 4.5 len win at this track March 15 over 1100m defeating Time Will Tell carrying 57.5kg at $1.70. Should be right in the finish.
