Turffontein Race 2 - Champion Two-Year-Old Filly: Green Diamond Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
LET'S GO LOLA (6) produced a promising debut effort over this course and distance two runs back when finishing third at long odds. She raced greenly but the manner in which she stayed on at the finish was encouraging. She would have gained from the experience and she is expected to be hard to beat. CHERICHERILADY (3) showed some improvement when fourth over this course and distance last time. She is a progressive type and she may have more to come. QUEEN OF PEARLS (11) is an unraced daughter of Hawwaam from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable with Callan Murray in the saddle. If not in need of the run, she should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to her winning chances. MANURIKI (9) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Alson Ndzilana. By Soqrat from Wojha. Expected to go a bold race fresh-up. Something for the Multiples: ONE SUMMER (10)

At debut, 5th of 10 at this track on May 17 over 1160m, 5.5 len behind Alta Capitana carrying 60kg at $9. Gets a pass-mark after that debut and can go on with it.

Was at long odds at debut, ran last of 10 at this track on May 17 over 1160m, 11 len behind Alta Capitana with 60kg at $34. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
