Turffontein Race 1 - 4racing Welcomes You Juvenile Plate
GIMME SOME LUCK (2) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1160m at this track. Promising colt who will find this area. Go close again. FIERCENESS (3) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1000m at Vaal a month ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. CATFISH (1) gave away a start then stormed home to win over 1000m at Vaal last time out. Best form puts him right in this. SHINING SUN (6) has not raced since his debut back on March 5 when he finished sixth over 1200m at Vaal. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.

Freshened since claiming his maiden victory on debut; won by 2.5 len at Vaal May 26 over 1000m defeating Snowblade carrying 60kg at $4.50. Far too good on debut. Big chance to go two from two.

Most recently ran second last of 9 at this track on June 14 over 1400m, 6 len behind Master Smoker with 56kg at $26. The run before that ran second last in a small field at Turffontein Inside on May 7 over 1600m, 7 len behind Proper with 56kg at $3. Genuine chance this time around.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 10 at this track on June 14 over 1000m, 11 len behind Evening Parade with 55.5kg at $67. Needs to do a lot more than he did on debut.
