Turffontein Race 1 - Ross Robertson Maiden Plate (F & M)
SAND SCRIPT (6) is a three-year-old filly on debut by Futura from Arabian Pearl who has in turn produced the winner of a black type. SHIVERING LIGHT (7) is a three-year-old filly on debut by Fire Away from Sassy Sal who has produced a high percentage of winners-to-runners. ONCEINABLUEMOON (2) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished fourth after being prominent at the corner at her last appearance over 1160m at this track on February 1. Worth including in this suitable contest. WINGS OF KILDRA (1) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start over 1200m at Vaal, beaten a long neck. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.

By Fire Away out of Sassy Sal on debut. Purchased for ZAR R 260,000 (Bloodstock South Africa 2024 August Two Year Old Sale). Should have plenty of admirers.
