Turffontein Race 2 - Racing Today Mdn Plate (F & M)
STAR MAGNOLIA (10) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1000m at Vaal. This easier and drops in weight. Well placed to take this out. BRIGITTE ANNE (2) resumes in a similar race to her only run last prep back on March 19 when third, beaten 2 lengths. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Placed 2/3 fresh and only try course and distance. DESTINY'S DREAM (1) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Turffontein Standside but raced below expectations last time over 1200m at Vaal, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ARTIFACT (5) is yet to break through after five starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1200m at Vaal. Has the pace to take a forward position. Can feature with the right run.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, second last of 11 at Turffontein Standside on May 16 over 1160m, 14 len behind Perfect Sky carrying 60kg at $101. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.
