Turffontein Race 1 - 4Racing Welcomes You Work Riders Maiden Plate (F & M)
BABETTE'S FEAST (11) is a two start maiden who showed ability in first campaign. Looks suited by this journey fresh and expected to prove hard to beat. TRAIL RUNNER (1) has also showed some ability in six runs to date, placing at three of them. Likely to be hitting the line strongly. WINTER WEDDING (6) placed two back then beaten a couple of lengths when fourth latest. Rates highly here and expected to take catching. SAVARA'S PRINCESS (4) finished second at Vaal two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1200m at Vaal, finishing 4.5 lengths back in sixth. Extra trip a plus and can atone.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, 12th of 14 at this track on July 10 over 1600m, 18 len behind Merryweather with 60kg at $67. Second-up ran last of 7 at this track on September 6 over 1800m, 19 len behind Special Star carrying 60kg at $101. Will find this a bit too tough.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 14 at Vaal on October 28 over 1200m, 3 len behind Single Combat carrying 56.5kg at $17. The run before that 3rd of 10 at Vaal on October 14 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Universal Girl carrying 59kg at $11. Not far from winner at her last appearance and rates highly. Take catching.
