Turffontein Race 2 - Youcanbetonus! Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
STORM AVALANCHE (6) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1200m at Vaal. Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. ROYAL TIARA (4) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1000m at this track when third, beaten 1.5 lengths. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so a big run is anticipated. SABALENKA (5) fought on well for third last start over 1160m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Expected to run well again. ROYAL RANT (3) is a two-year-old filly at the races for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Heavenly Blue from Bold Choice.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 7 at Vaal on March 26 over 1000m, slow going 9 len behind Lanzarote with 60kg at $67. The race before that ran last of 8 at Turffontein Inside on February 26 over 1000m, 6 len behind Queen Leila with 60kg at $26. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Was at big odds at debut, second last in a small field at Vaal on April 21 over 1200m, 6 len behind Alice B Toklas with 60kg at $34. Satisfactory effort on debut but might need a little more time.
