Turffontein Race 3

Topbet Maiden Plate (F & M)

Prize Money: $8,003

FISH HAWK (9) produced an encouraging debut effort over 1000m on this course when finishing second. She understandably raced green, but the manner in which she stayed on at the finish was encouraging. She would have gained from the experience and should love the rise to 1200m. With the natural improvement that is expected, she may be the one to beat. QUEEN OF PEARLS (11) is an unraced daughter of Hawwaam from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable with Gavin Lerena in the saddle. If not in need of this outing, she should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to her chances. BELLA BOOP BOOP (1) was touched off in her last start over this distance at the Vaal. The blinkers and tongue-tie seem to have done the trick. If confirming her recent improvement, she should be right there at the finish. UNIVERSAL GIRL (4) is on debut and has the right profile to figure in the finish. Include in combinations.

At the latest run 2nd of 8 at Vaal on August 26 over 1200m, nose behind Concordia carrying 56kg at $7.50. Before that 9th of 11 at Vaal on August 14 over 1500m, 8 len behind Greenlight Racer with 54.5kg at $51. Solid prospects with a similar effort to last time.
