Turffontein Race 1 - 4racing Welcomes You Mdn Juvenile Plate
SNOWBLADE (8) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1000m at Vaal when second, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. EXPERT WITNESS (3) raced once in the maiden preparation when fourth at Vaal over 1000m back on March 26. Likely improver and can get off the mark this time. KNIGHT HEIST (5) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1160m at Turffontein Standside when third, beaten 8 lengths. Likely improver so he is among the leading chances. RAFE'S ORACLE (7) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Robbie Sage. By Rafeef from Keep On Dancing. Watch the market closely.

Most recently 5th of 7 at Vaal on May 14 over 1600m, 9 len behind Sheriff Bill Brown with 57kg at $51. The start before that 4th in a small field at this track on April 9 over 1600m, 4 len behind Parachute Adams with 60kg at $9. Safely held last time out but this suits.
