Turffontein Race 2 - Youcanbetonus! Mdn Juvenile Plate (Fillies)
ME AND YOU (3) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Should settle in the leading division. Heading the right way and is expected to prove tough to beat. EMPRESS OF PEACE (1) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time over 1500m at Vaal. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. UP AND UP (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Likely improver with winning claims. TREX ON FIRE (6) finished 7 lengths away in fifth at her last appearance over 1400m at Vaal on June 18. Should be about the money.

Second run back. First-up after two months ran second last of 8 at Turffontein Standside on June 27 over 1160m, 10 len behind Perfect Sky carrying 57kg at $51. Previously second-up ran second last of 8 at Vaal on April 23 over 1000m, 18 len behind Catfish with 57.5kg at $101. Fitter but must improve sharply.

The start before that 3rd of 8 at this track on June 4 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Late Bloomer carrying 56kg at $8. Back to the mile suits. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
