Turffontein Race 3 - Racing Today Juvenile Plate
SNAP YOUR FINGERS (7) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 2.5 lengths. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so she will prove tough to beat. WHAT A WARRIOR (3) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0.7 lengths over 1400m at Vaal. Looks suited by the mile. Can make it back-to-back wins. MOANA (5) comes here following a win over 1400m at Vaal a month ago, getting home by a neck. Promising filly who scored latest and should relish the extra ground. LONE HORIZON (2) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1450m contest at Turffontein Inside last time out by half a length. Best figures stack-up nicely.

Comes here off a 33-day let-up. Last start 4th of 9 at Vaal on March 28 over 1400m, 3 len behind What A Warrior carrying 60kg at $4.50. Before that won by 7 len at Vaal February 24 over 1450m defeating Highway Code with 60kg at $3.50. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Returns from a 49-day let-up. At the latest run won by 0.5 len at Turffontein Inside March 12 over 1450m defeating Parachute Adams with 60kg at $34. The start before that second last of 9 at this track on February 14 over 1160m, 10 len behind Prayersandpromises with 60kg at $101. Scored a maiden win last time and is worth thought again.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 33 day let-up. Last start won by 0.7 len at Vaal March 28 over 1400m defeating Prayersandpromises with 57kg at $21. The start before that 3rd of 8 at Turffontein Inside on March 12 over 1450m, 1.1 len behind Lone Horizon with 60kg at $15. Off the mark last time and looks suited by the mile. Can make it back-to-back wins.

Last start second last in a small field at Turffontein Inside on April 9 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Parachute Adams carrying 60kg at $34. The race before that second last of 11 at Vaal on March 31 over 1200m, 12 len behind Sherlock Holmes carrying 60kg at $67. Preferred in something easier.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 2nd in a small field at Turffontein Inside on March 12 over 1450m, 0.8 len behind Within Reach carrying 60kg at $11. Second-up won by a neck at Vaal March 28 over 1400m defeating Within Reach carrying 57kg at $5. Promising filly who scored latest and should relish the extra ground.
