Turffontein Race 1 - 4Racing Welcomes You Maiden Juvenile Plate
Sticking with CATFISH (1) who turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Turffontein Inside over 1000m, beaten 0.6 lengths. Continues to race well without winning, recording four placings from four starts. Will go close again. GOOD DAY SUNSHINE (7) is a first-starter by Vercingetorix from the former top race mare Miss Florida who has in turn produced the winner of a black type. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. CORSARO SUPER (2) is a two-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of J A Janse Van Vuuren. By Erupt from Maryah. Expect a bold run. MIDNIGHT SHOW (5) is on debut. By Declarationofpeace and is out of the Alec Laird stable. Worth watching for a betting push.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Turffontein Inside on February 26 over 1000m, 0.6 len behind Twilight carrying 60kg at $2.30. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Vaal on January 29 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Time Is Precious carrying 60kg at $2.50. Long overdue and a win is on the cards.

Filly by Vercingetorix on debut. Profiles well for this being a daughter of the stakes winning mare Miss Florida. Should play a role in the finish.
