Turffontein Race 2

Racing Today Mdn Juvenile Plate

Prize Money: $10,739

SNOWBLADE (9) made his debut last start at a big quote but defied the market to grab second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1000m at Vaal. Strong debut and leading rider goes aboard. Can open winning account this time. RIVERA (11) is a first-starter by Malmoos from Leylani who has been an outstanding producer including winners at black type level. Half to Grade 2 winner Celestial Love. Profiles well for this and expected to measure up. BISOU BISOU (2) is a two-year-old gelding facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family being by Querari from Bold Nimph. Half to Grade 1 winner Mighty High and Grade 2 winner Gobsmacked. MFULATHELA (7) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth at his most recent appearance over 1200m at Scottsville. Solid top-three chance on his best figures.
