Turffontein Race 3

SA Derby 4 April Maiden Plate (F & M)

Prize Money: $8,846

WISPINTHEWILLOW (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Likely improver with strong prospects. GREENANDGOLD (7) debuted three weeks ago when she finished fourth over 1160m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Big chance with race experience now on board. HUMAIRA (8) is on debut. By Frankel and comes from the Alec Laird stable. Any push in betting should be respected. GATHERING WINTER (2) could only manage to finish seventh, beaten 6 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.

Last start 5th of 9 at this track on March 14 over 1000m, 7 len behind My Dear Friend carrying 60kg at $126. The race before that second last in a small field at this track on February 21 over 1160m, 8 len behind Shivering Light carrying 60kg at $67. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
