Turffontein Race 1 - 4racing Welcomes You Mdn Plate (F & M)
THE BACHELORETTE (4) returned from a spell a month ago when she was beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth over 1000m at Vaal. Hit the line well fresh and can only be improved. Hard to beat. STUBBORN LOVE (3) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 5.5 lengths when fourth over 1000m at Vaal. Among the leading chances with the run under her belt. ELEGANT EDGE (1) is a nine-start maiden who finished fifth after being in the firing line on the turn at her most recent outing over 1000m at Vaal. Worth including in this suitable contest. ARTIFACT (2) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1200m at this track. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.

Last start ran second last of 9 at Vaal on September 10 over 1200m, 15 len behind Madison County with 58kg at $34. Before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 7 at Vaal on August 27 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind Surreal Song with 58kg at $101. Capable of a big finish so don't write her off.

Three-year-old filly who is first starter by Rabada out of Bindella. Has the right credentials to run a forward race.
