Turffontein Race 4

Classic Day 7 March Maiden Plate

Prize Money: $10,110

FIERY ROSE (5) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of six-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1160m at this track. Runner-up all three to date and can go one better fresh. STONEYWOOD (4) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1000m. Placed to advantage and can take this out. ROCKABILLY (3) fought on well for third last start over 1000m at Vaal, making it two minor placings in a row. Likely to play a major role. SURREAL SONG (7) has not raced since her debut on June 28 over 1160m at this track when she finished sixth, beaten 7 lengths. Should be thereabouts.

Was at very long odds at debut, 6th of 12 at Vaal on December 20 over 1200m, 8 len behind Tintin carrying 60kg at $126. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.

Most recently ran last of 12 at Vaal on December 18 over 1500m, 14 len behind Oklahoma Smokeshow carrying 54.5kg at $21. The start before that 3rd of 9 at Turffontein Inside on December 2 over 1000m, slow going 4 len behind Plumbago Park carrying 60kg at $67. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
