Turffontein Race 1 - 4racing Welcomes You Mdn Juvenile Plate

RISING EAGLE (6) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish second over 1160m at this track. Has upside and can open his account. OCTOBER REEF (5) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1160m at this track in a tougher race. Will benefit from that experience so he is worth following up. ELUSIVE DRAGON (8) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1160m at this track, beaten only a head. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HOT CHOICE (9) is a two-year-old filly who lines up for the first time. From a successful breeding line, being by Futura from Red Flame.

First-starter by Futura out of Red Flame. Hard to gauge so let the betting tell the story.
