Turffontein Race 4 - Allied Steelrode Charity Mile 1 November Fm 74 Handicap (F & M)

SARAGOSSA CAT (5) is a progressive filly who was well fancied on debut when runner-up, then turned in a strong performance last time to score the maiden win. Low draw and will take beating again. BLUSHING BLOOM (2) looks the main threat on recent form. Was a Vaal winner two back then runner-up here last time before being freshened. Expected to feature again. WHIRLYBIRD (3) might be value and is going better than form suggests. Coming off a solid fifth at Vaal last time and rates strongly in this line-up. Don't underestimate. MAVERICK QUEEN (7) is another going better than form suggests and must be included with the light weight.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 60-day let-up. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on August 17 over 1200m, 3 len behind Rifle Queen with 57.5kg at $3.50. The start before that won by 1.75 len at Vaal July 31 over 1200m defeating Iconic Winter carrying 57kg at $1.70. Racing well and best form should see her measure right up.

At the latest run 5th of 12 at Vaal on September 18 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Malibu carrying 58.5kg at $7. The run before that 6th of 9 at Vaal on July 31 over 1450m, 7 len behind Saigon Suzie with 57.5kg at $6. Going better than form suggests. Good run last time and rating form that effort would go close here.

Last start 4th in a small field at this track on September 28 over 1200m, 2 len behind Stormy Day carrying 54.5kg at $34. The start before that 7th of 12 at Vaal on September 18 over 1200m, 6 len behind Malibu with 56.5kg at $21. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought with the light weight.

Last start 3rd of 7 at this track on October 4 over 1450m, 5 len behind Prince Of Kildare with 52kg at $101. The race before that 10th of 13 at Vaal on September 30 over 1400m, slow going 10 len behind Mamlambo carrying 52kg at $101. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.
