Turffontein Race 4 - 4Racing App Maiden Plate (F & M)
CELTIC MANOR (7) will find this a little easier than her second on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten a long neck at the end of 1160m at this track. Likely improver so she will be hard to beat. GIMMESUMLUV (2) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 1.5 lengths into third over 1800m at Vaal. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BE MY FATE (5) put the writing on the wall last time when a close second at Vaal over 1800m. Has a high cruising speed. Capable of testing this field. MADE TO MEASURE (1) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 7 lengths. This looks a good race for her and she is one of the key runners.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. Last start 2nd in a small field at Turffontein Inside on April 9 over 1600m, 7 len behind Miraculous Moment with 60kg at $11. The race before that ran last in a small field at this track on March 21 over 1600m, 6 len behind Utsaah carrying 60kg at $5. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Was well in the market at debut, 2nd of 8 at this track on April 28 over 1160m, long-neck behind Top Secret carrying 57kg at $5. Just missed on debut and looks to have plenty of upside over the extra ground. Well placed to get off the mark this time.
