Turffontein Race 1 - 4Racing Welcomes You Maiden Plate (F & M)
TOP SECRET (11) is on debut for the Lucky Houdalakis stable. Two-year-old filly by Gimmethegreenlight from Canukeepitsecret. Should be primed for a strong showing. Keep an eye on betting. WITHOUT REMORSE (1) has been about the money with two minor placings from three starts this campaign, the latest a solid third over 1450m at Vaal. Should park just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. RENDEVOUS IN RIO (2) is a five-start maiden who was close to a win before a eight months break, finishing off with a minor placing at Vaal. Expect she has come on over the break. Among the chances while fresh. SECRET LIFE (10) finished third last start over 1160m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Should be peaking. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.

Two-year-old filly by Gimmethegreenlight out of Canukeepitsecret having her first start. Purchased for ZAR R 700,000 (Cape Thoroughbred Sales 2025 SUMMER SALE). Profiles nicely for this.
