Turffontein Race 2 - Racing240 Juvenile Plate (2 Year Old Fillies)
STAGGERWING (2) is racing well. Scored at Vaal two back then finished second, beaten half a length, over 1000m at Turffontein Inside at the latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago. Has a placing and a stakes level fourth in two runs here. Expected to go close. SOCIAL GRACES (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1000m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Looks promising and can measure up again. MINERVA FAE (5) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1000m at this track when second, beaten 1.75 lengths. Likely improver so another top-three finish is on the cards. LIFE'S TREASURES (4) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1160m at this track. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, 10th of 13 at this track on June 14 over 1000m, 10 len behind Social Graces carrying 60kg at $126. Second-up ran last of 8 at this track on June 27 over 1160m, 13 len behind Perfect Sky with 57kg at $51. Hard to recommend on recent form.
